 走進「NUAGE」,雖然美麗的老闆娘Monica一直謙稱這只家是小酒館、主打TAPAS,但是就裝潢、論細節、看地點,我感覺這不太像是想賺錢的老闆所為,倒像是不惜鉅資傾力完成一件案子的投資者,橫看豎看,也讓人覺得這不只是一家小店而已。


座落於內湖最精華的辦公地段商圈,「NUAGE」背後四位股東其實分別來自各產業之佼佼者與大老闆,格局和眼光的確異於一般餐飲經營者。Monica說:「久居國外的經驗,讓我不時就想起國外隨興悠閒的氛圍,即使身在城市,繁忙大街的轉角就有露天咖啡座,讓人可以適時放鬆一下,來杯小酒,感受片刻的滿足與快樂。」


也因此這塊鬧中取靜、旁有庭園造景的地點,就成了Monica打造成宛如曼哈頓都會綠洲的小天地,發揮過往長期浸淫遊艇事業的背景,將妝點海上派對華麗炫目的規格植入餐廳,自刀叉、器皿到傢俱幾由國外進口,流露出鮮明強烈的歐式風情。
對我來說,這的確是城市裡少有的大膽作風;尤其在寸土寸金的內湖商業中心,竟然在一樓至少可以多擺上五六桌的中心,規劃成總Total不到五桌、甚至只有一張近似展示花藝的裝置木桌?


其實這不只是擺好看的桌子;以Sharing Table概念設置的木質餐桌,散發出溫暖和諧的質地與氛圍,也是Monica想讓陌生男女在共享的飲食空間裡,憑添對彼此的想像與攀談機會,說這是張Match maker table也不為過;接續著一樓像到女主人家作客的放鬆感,二樓則多了可容納不同人數的座位,仿古沙發和木質桌椅的組合與一樓同樣到位。


若是與好友或家庭聚餐,二樓並設有包廂區,高雅長桌展現出的晚宴氛圍已讓人食慾無窮,一抬頭更是炫目耀眼的水晶燈,身在其中,恍若自己也是上流派對裡的一員;再往上走,三樓則有國外常見的露天沙發區,並在晚間供應雞尾酒等調酒飲品,讓你用餐結束後,還能續攤懶倚在沙發上,釋放一整天的壓力和情緒。



硬體已是這般規格,大多人可以為菜色餐食在此就淪為配角,就像坊間多數裝潢了得,口味與價位卻極可憎的餐廳,但實則不然;原本對口味沒有太大期待的我,半信半疑地將鹽烤黑豚豬排濃縮成約莫幾口份量的菜色送入口,看似乾煎無味,一嘗卻能感受滋味在舌尖上爆開來的感覺;



溫和不嗆僅留香氣的大蒜,是主廚已先用牛奶煮過好去嗆味的配角;以紅酒醋炒漬的洋蔥,甜酸迷人解油膩;而來自宜蘭的黑豚豬肉,表面抹上香料、再以鹽煎香後烤,將肉汁及香料馥郁的香氣都鎖在其中,咬開來就香味肉汁滿溢,讓我大為驚豔!

Nuage的主廚以義法式料理見長,再融入Monica長期在家辦趴的美食想法與secret recipe後,結合成西班牙TAPAS強調的輕食概念:一口可吃、沒有既定飲食順序,卻可嘗遍不同菜色的料理形式。簡而言之,就是隨興所至,順手拈來都好吃!



雖然小份量的供應型式讓許多人仍有「吃不飽」的不解,卻其實反映了餐廳勇於挑戰的實力和用心,光是菜單上琳瑯滿目的選項多達六十幾道,每個食材背後又是費盡工序與心思處理、結合成「TAPAS小菜」的心血。

對我而言,每次品嘗已不光只是味蕾上的驚喜,也對店主和主廚集畢生夢想與力量創造出的成果,感到由衷地佩服和喜悅:又多了一處值得前往的好餐廳!
