Many foreign guests and overseas returnees have complimented, “Just like what we get at home!” Often people wonder about the history of this all-white three-story European-style house. The owner of GALERIE Bistro, Ely grew up here since she was little. Sixty years ago her great-grandfather purchased this western-style house that was built in 1931 during Japanese Occupation Period. With a strong interest in food & beverage industry, she went to study Hotel Resort management in Switzerland. After this house had been vacant over 20 years, she decided to open a restaurant here that once was a gathering spot for all the celebrities in the good old days. A major renovation took place on the inside of this post-colonial western-style structure and the original framework, 80 years old, was kept as the way it’s always been. Soon it was open for business. In order to build the most perfect restaurant of her dream, Ely took special trips to England and Paris during preparation of GALERIE Bistro’s launch. She visited long running restaurants for field research and developed the design elements of the restaurant. She hopes that years from now GALERIE Bistro will also become a well-known establishment with long history. Her husband﹙Martin﹚was in charge of renovation, design and repairs. The decor is all-white inside and out, including menu and washroom areas for the color white makes it a clean well-lighted place. Also Ely recruited her longtime close friend Teri to plan for the making of GALERIE Bistro. They complement each other in terms of personalities and specialized professional skills, Ely has the degree in Hotel Resort management and Teri is well-experienced in design and finance. Running a restaurant business together is ideal for the duo. They understand the natural born rare quality about this patio house. A house as elegant as this one is few and far between even if you travel around the world to look for it. Ely’s Family is very generous to make this place public so that everyone has a chance to enjoy the beauty, space and ambience of this unique western-style house. We hope to provide consumers in Taiwan a comfortable, spacious and relaxing dining area, offering a fine dining experience with quality service at a bistro price. From fine table linens and individual napkins to the attitude of service staff, from proper ways to open wine bottles and to serving, we follow a set of strict European standard and guidelines. All the tables and chairs are originated from Ely’s creative ideas and the factory built them based on her design sketch. Imported flatware from Italy and Germany is designated for five star hotels. Tableware used in GALERIE Bistro is Bone China from Japan. We sincerely hope that you can come experience these finer things in life personally.
