The urban artsy salon resembles a century-old European café, allowing you to immerse yourself in a sophisticated yet modern hipster atmosphere where you can enjoy the gentle intoxication brought on by jazz music and gourmet cuisine. In addition to live performances, it frequently hosts a variety of cultural and artistic lectures.
In the 1950s, Hemingway wrote to a friend: "If you're lucky enough to have spent your youth in Paris, then Paris will always remain with you, because Paris is a movable feast." People often say that all banquets must come to an end, but for the aging literary giant of that time, his once-vibrant youth was irretrievably lost; let alone for us today, where Hemingway's "movable feast" has turned into a "swallow before the halls of the old nobility," with the banquet dispersed, leaving behind a sense of profound regret and emptiness.

Fortunately, in the 2020s in Taipei, we have the opportunity to fill that imagined void and reclaim the Paris that Hemingway longed for; a versatile space called "Art Reading Cafe," hidden within an old commercial building, recreates the decor of that era, along with literary salons and live jazz performances, offering every artsy youth yearning for that "beautiful era" a chance to return to the past.
