Foremost, Gordon Biersch is a brewery that brews their own award winning quality beers, using only traditional ingredients imported from Germany. You can try any of their beers in a 500ml glass for NT$230 -- great price for such quality beer. You can also get a sampling of all their beer for NT$230. If you want, you can take some of their beer home with you in a growler. As a fine establishment, they also serve an array of quality cuisine.
I tried their Pepperoni Mushroom Pizza, Gordon Biersch Cheese Burger, and Gordon Biersch's Golden Export and Seasonal Beer. I'm not a beer drinker so I can't properly rate it, but I was accompanied by my German friend who was very satisfied. Besides, Gordon Biersch's beers have won gold, silver, and bronze medals, which is enough to convey the quality of their beer.
The Gordon Biersch Cheese Burger was downright delicious. They asked me how I wanted it cooked, which is a rarity in Taipei. I felt like blood that night and ordered it medium-rare, and that is exactly what I got. The burger was so satisfying that I swallowed it up in less than 5 minutes, it seemed. The beef pattie was thick and full of flavor, and the burger was accompanied by their famous garlic French fries. The only thing about the burger that wasn't top notch was the bread bun because it was a white flavorless bread, and the bottom part was soft, turning mushy in my fingers. Although, that last part is probably due to the fact that I had the beef pattie cooked to medium-rare, making it full of more juices than normal. The pizza was pretty good. They make their own dough, but I wasn't impressed because the dough wasn't cooked enough, leaving it too doughy and flavorless. The toppings were quality, but I didn't like the fact that half the cheese wasn't melted. It was a pretty good pizza and accompanied the beer quite nicely, but for NT$440, I would rather get pizza elsewhere that is better and cheaper.
Vegetarian options: Gordon Biersch has a separate menu for vegetarians. Ask your server for it.
