臺灣餐飲老店 Long-established Restaurants in Taiwan

臺北市中正區因為有著臺灣五大老行庫的總部均設立在此，且重要政府部會集中，所以稱之為臺灣早期的「曼哈頓」也不為過。這裡有一家四十多年歷史的粵菜餐廳，由於鄰近昔日的證交所，附近號子也多，據說當年只要看收盤後這家餐廳的用餐人潮，就知當天的臺股漲跌，所以素有「金融餐廳」的稱號。

這家創立於1970年的大三元酒樓，六層樓外牆立面，以行雲流水的書法寫上李白的《客中作》：「蘭陵美酒鬱金香，玉碗盛來琥珀光」，董事長邱靜惠女士熱愛藝術，從外牆便足見其心。邱靜惠為書法大師張炳煌學生，店內所有筆墨皆出自張炳煌之手，裝潢古韻典雅，藝文氣息濃厚。

在三、四十年前，老臺北人上酒樓飲茶是相當時髦的事，大三元所有大師傅都聘自香港，口味道地，生意興隆，但創立的由來卻全出自邱靜惠婆婆的一片佛心。原來婆婆本是房東，承租的人餐廳惡性倒閉，婆婆很同情員工，便承接下來繼續經營。楊麗花因為是婆婆乾女兒，於是掛上榮譽董事長協助開幕，大三元從此穩定下來，到1987年媳婦邱靜惠接棒經營，將之推上頂峰，現已由第三代承襲。

There are five headquarters of Taiwan’s important banks set up in Zhongzheng District in Taipei City, once called Taiwan’s “Manhattan,” and it is also a place where government ministries are located. Here is a Cantonese restaurant with a history more than 40 years. Because it is in the vicinity of the past Taiwan Stock Exchange, it is said the good and bad of the business was changed with the up and down of the stock. Therefore, it is named as “Financial Restaurant.”   

Three Coins Cantonese Restaurant was established in 1970. The vertical façade outside of the restaurant building is written with Li Bai’s poem, which can manifest the Chairman, Qiu Jing-Hui’s passion in arts.

Thirty and forty years ago, dining in a Cantonese restaurant was very fashionable to Old Taipei’s citizens. The chefs in Three Coins Cantonese Restaurant are employed from Hong Kong. The business is prosperous. Mrs. Qiu has taken charge of the business since 1987, now the restaurant is run by the third generation.

高貴不貴，吸引年輕族群

大三元能在政治、金融之重地屹立不搖，靠的是絕佳的用餐環境與服務。邱靜惠說，曾經有一桌臨時上門的客人，其中一位水果只能吃芭樂，另一位咖啡只能加代糖，還有一位飯後需要按時吃藥。結果第二天他們再度光臨，沒想到接待員全都一一記得，讓客人感覺比家人還貼心，此後天天來吃。

香芒牛柳條、紹興醃醉雞、碧綠鮮帶子，都是大三元主廚推薦料理；招牌菜海鮮焗木瓜，是邱靜惠的突發異想，沒想到嚐過的都說讚，已熱賣多年，尤其日本客必點最愛。網路食記指名脆皮烤鴨，除片鴨之外，還有生菜鴨鬆或三杯鴨骨，芥菜或酸菜鴨骨湯等三吃。此道菜必須提前半天預約，因為現烤八十分鐘，新鮮上桌，風味自然不同。老師傅還會親自桌邊服務，俐落片鴨，全麥餅皮薄Q帶勁，加上特製甜麵醬，有吃過的客人說，只有銷魂可以形容。

頂著金融餐廳的光環，很多人都不知大三元餐廳其實高貴不貴，一般人皆可輕鬆消費。套餐一客五百多元，希望吸引年輕族群；烤鴨三吃一千多，三、四人同歡也能盡興飽足。

Elegant But Inexpensive, Appealing the Youth

The excellent dining environment and service are the most important factors making Three Coins Cantonese Restaurant founded firmly in the political and financial hub. Ms. Qiu said that the acceptors can remember every requirement of a guest. The considerateness of the restaurant appeals the customers to visit it every day. 

Beef Filet with Mango, Chicken Cooked with Shaoxing, Fresh Scallops with Vegetables are the chef’s recommended dishes. The signature dish, Baked Seafood Papaya, is created by Ms. Qiu and appraised highly. It is often ordered by Japanese customers. Crispy Roasted Duck, Minced Duck with Lettuces, Duck Bones with Three Cups Sauce, Mustard or Chinese Sauerkraut Duck Bones Soup are recommended on the internet. Crispy Roasted Duck has to be reserved half a day in advance. Because it has to be roasted for 80 minutes before being served, the flavor is different from others. The old chef will slice the duck for the guest by himself; the whole-grained crust thin and crispy with the self-made sweet sauce makes the duck marvelous.

With the name of “financial Restaurant,” many people don’t know Three Coins Cantonese Restaurant is not expensive; it is affordable to common people. A combo platter is NT$ 500. The restaurant hopes to appeal the young customers. Crispy Roasted Duck only costs you NT$ 1000 around, which can be shared with three to four persons.
