Dine like a prince, pay like a pauper!

One of the best western style restaurants in Hualien is the Prince restaurant & bakery. It is located next to a creek in downtown. Three of us had Caesar salad, a large pizza, a pasta, and French fries, and the bill was $20Cdn. A similar situation in Victoria would cost us at least three times that. But its not only the price, it is also the quality which makes eating out here a hell of a bargain. The pizza was cooked in a wood fired oven, pasta was al dente, Caesar salad had chicken and bacon in it with a creamy dressing, and the fries were crisp and golden brown with no grease at all. We also bought a light Cheesecake and a Tiramisu cake as shown in one of the photos, for a princely sum of $14cdn, together!
And the service is a cut above most others in Hualien, very attentive and polite, and very quick. Food arrived at our table only 10 minutes after ordering, and it was lunch hour! Highly recommended, for the price, value, quality and prompt service.
