Default Dining in a Car at Taipei Restaurant

Dining in a Car at Taipei’s P.S. Bu Bu Restaurant

Eating in a car is not everyone’s idea of an enjoyable meal, but at the P.S. Bu Bu Restaurant, in Taiwan, it’s a must. This automotive-themed venue features all kinds of auto accessories and even full cars as dining tables.



Established in 1999, by two classic car enthusiasts, P.S. Bu Bu is an innovative restaurant that serves all kinds of popular Western dishes, as well as fusion cuisine that caters to the tastes of Taiwanese people. Although the food is to die for, it’s not the main reason people choose to eat at P.S. Bu Bu. Most of them just come here to be transported back to the “swinging sixties” by the unique decorations and accessories of the restaurant. Parked inside the restaurant are iconic automobiles like the Mini Austin, Volkswagen Beetle, 1963 Cadillac Series 6200 Coupe or a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.



Some of the cars of P.S. Bu Bu have been cut into pieces and converted into benches and bars, but some have been left hole and fitted with a table in the middle, so you can enjoy the meal in a car. Ponny and Sean, the two people that started P.S. Bu Bu have a thing for classic cars, so they did their best to transform this unique venue into any automotive enthusiast’s dream come true. Apart from the actual cars, the restaurant features American car licenses, guideposts, parking meters, fuel stations, and even steering wheels as door handles. Most of the stuff was bought from flee markets, but really does make the place look like nothing you’ve ever seen.



If you’re ever in Taipei, P.S. Bu Bu should definitely be on your must-visit list, if only for the experience of eating a delicious meal in a pink Mini Austin. The car-themed restaurant is located at 1, Lane 140, Zhong Shan North Road, Section 7.

This isn't even a new concept, although the story makes it seem like it is. Watch the movie Pulp Fiction and see where John Travolta takes Uma Thurman for dinner. Same exact idea, but much more classy...

You're right, it doesn't say the word new... But it says two things that mean roughly the same thing.

Innovative - The general meaning is a new concept or idea

and the phrase "really does make the place look like nothing you’ve ever seen"

I took both of those to mean they were saying it was something that hadn't been done before. Of course, they could also have just meant it hadn't been done in Taipei or Taiwan before...

Maybe I shouldn't have read the words, and just looked at the pictures. Words just get me into trouble....

And dessert in the back seat?????

I buy take away and wait till I get home to eat because I can't stand eating in my car, it's like sex in the car, why risk injury in the car when I have a double bed at home....

Yeah, I know, I should only have a single, saves on energy, only half as far to chase 'em.

But you forget the old 'waitress in the back seat' scenario.
