Ninety years ago, dining on curry omelette rice at Lin's Cafeteria was quite an extraordinary affair, capable of capturing one's heart. Today, visiting Lin's Coffee not only offers a chance to savor coffee with cultural significance and taste, but also to immerse oneself in the luxurious atmosphere that once drew the elite of the Showa era.
When Lin Department Store first opened ninety years ago, the fifth floor was designated as a high-end dining area called "Lin's Cafeteria." It quickly became the prime venue for socializing among the political and business elites of Tainan, earning the reputation as the "Unbeatable Matchmaking Sanctuary."

Lin Department Store itself is a symbol of high purchasing power; those who can shop here are typically either wealthy or influential. Anyone who invites friends to dine at Lin's Cafeteria must have a fairly deep pocket as well. If a man schedules a matchmaking date here, it clearly reflects his sufficient economic strength. After enjoying such a grand and expensive meal, women are often inclined to seize the opportunity and agree to the marriage proposal, resulting in a nearly hundred percent success rate.
