Cargill Cafe

Nestled in a quiet corner of Vic Park suburb at the cross junction of Washington St and Cargill St, this is a gem waiting to be found! Exceeded my expectations for Taiwanese food in terms of authenticity, quality, taste, service, and atmosphere! Chicken chop and Misua taste brings me back to the night markets of Taiwan, the prompt and friendly service of the staff is what I've missed from being in Taiwan, there's a live singer entertaining us with familiar Chinese pop songs. I'm glad I've found this place, I'll definitely be coming back to satiate my chicken chop and Taiwan food cravings.

My friend recommended this place. Had a dinner date with my wife. Good food, friendly staff and soothing live music (couldn't understand the lyrics but was heartwarming). The chicken cutlet was the best, crispy from outside juicy from inside. They served it on a plate that was the shape of Taiwan's map so that really was innovative. They were out of fried though and the place is a bit small but well managed. Underrated but must go. Highly recommended. Will go there again to have those fried with the spicy fish pickle. :)

Been craving for Taiwanese food as I haven't been home for a few years, decided to try out this place. Tasty, authentic, good portion of food and not too expensive! Definitely reminded of home. The place was small and quite popular, so we sat outside and there were heaters so we were able to stay nice and warm (esp with a child). Recommend and will be back again 😊

There are not many Taiwanese restaurants in Perth, this is definitely one of the best. The restaurant is small but clean, simple and attractive. Amazing atmosphere. They serve authentic Taiwanese cuisine, very tasty. Must try their fried chicken cutlet and mian xian (thin noodle). The staff were helpful and polite. They have musicians playing live music in the evening.

I pass by this place quite often. From the outside it looks like another lunch bar. As it was just that before the new owner took place. A friend then recommended me to try this place as now it offers Taiwanese food. I ordered a mixed bag. For entree, I tried their fried sweet potato balls. They were crunchy, freshly fried, with soft centred filling (caution, the filling was super hot, eventho its tempting to eat them all in one go, just don't!). They were super yum. I ordered their fried fish (snapper) and it was just as good but with no chips available, I ordered their squid rings instead and they were perfect. Their Mi Sua with fried chicken was another good one but I think a little bit more noodle would be good. Their fried chicken cutlet combo came with vegies. Not sure about the bamboo shoot as one of the vegies as its smell was rather strong. The fried chicken to me was one of the best Taiwanese fried chickens in town. They hit the spot. I had their sweet black tea in a bubble tea packaging $3.5 for drink. It was good but it also gave a faint hint of coffee. Not sure whether it's suppose to be that way. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch. It was an experience to dine in a what looks like a lunch bar but with a twist. Place looked small from the outside but it's quite spacious inside. Looking from the price point, it was on a slightly expensive end. Food was mostly delicious tho.
