水灣餐廳Waterfront 碧潭店, Balinese restaurant in Xindian District, Taiwan.
Waterfront is a riverside restaurant in Xindian overlooking the Bitan River, with expansive glass walls that frame views of water and surrounding greenery during meals. The interior design positions diners close to the landscape they face.
The restaurant began in 1999 as a small establishment with 30 seats before expanding. Its growth preserved the original cooking approach that defined its opening concept.
The kitchen draws from Indonesian cooking traditions, preparing grilled meat skewers and slow-cooked duck using time-honored methods. Diners encounter regional ingredients prepared in ways that reflect the restaurant's connection to Southeast Asian culinary practices.
Reservations need to be made online and should be arranged at least two weeks ahead. Operating hours vary between weekdays and weekends, so checking before you go is important.
While eating, diners can watch the water performances of the Bitan River unfold beyond the glass, creating a show that plays out naturally during the meal. This spectacle exists independent of the restaurant but takes advantage of the riverside setting in an unexpected way.
