Taking a passion & turning it into a profession may require many things. These mostly consist of hard work, focus & ambition but also of just the right play of circumstances & a bit – if not a lot – of luck. All those things seemed to align when we noticed this vacant building up for rent in an old traditional Taiwanese residential neighborhood. The decision didn’t take long to make & it soon was turned into a charming little dining environment. The only thing left to determine: How should we call this place? The restaurant’s name was finally derived from having lived on Belfort Street in Heidelberg, Germany & being jokingly called the “Belfort Bistro” after establishing a communal food service for our friends & roomates during University times. There we had it – spring of 2013, the beginning of a new & exciting era!
