Meat lovers must taste this! Renowned as "Tokyo's Most Charming Steakhouse," The Oak Door is located within the Tokyo Grand Hyatt. Since its opening in 2003, it has combined local ingredients with high-quality cuisine, becoming a local dining landmark. Chef Tim Larimer makes his first appearance in Taipei, teaming up with Chef Lo Wei-Chou of Bel Air Restaurant at Grand Hyatt Taipei to present a feast that will leave diners dreaming.

Chef Tim Larimer, originally from California, joined the Tokyo Grand Hyatt in 2012 and became the head chef of The Oak Door in 2021. He combines passionate elements from Mexican and Californian cuisines, meticulous European techniques, and the spirit of seasonal Japanese flavors to create high-quality, pure dishes. After three months of preparation, this collaboration has finally begun, featuring the seldom-used Mexican ancho chili and Taiwanese grass-fed beef, showcasing his meticulous attention to ingredients.

The Bel Air Restaurant at Grand Hyatt Taipei is now hosting the "Fiery Fatty Feast" event until June 30th. A highlight is the classic Maryland crab cake, which is renowned as the best in Tokyo, blending king crab and Maryland crab meat, perfectly seasoned with spices and served crispy outside with fresh inside.

The next dish, "Grilled Hokkaido Scallops," offers a triple delight of visual, auditory, and taste experiences! The Hokkaido scallops are cooked until just medium rare and then placed on a sizzling plate, allowing the chef to showcase the beautifully searing scallops along with the rich aroma of melted butter. Don’t forget to dip them in sauce with bread for an unexpected flavor.

From kitchen staff meal to gourmet offering, the "South American-style Braised Beef Cheeks" features locally sourced Taiwanese beef slow-cooked to tender perfection, complemented by the unique spiciness and aroma of ancho chili. Each bite is filled with the delightful essence of aged peppers, nuts, grapes, and apricots that will truly redefine your taste experiences.

The evening’s special is the “Hokkaido F1 Red House Steak,” which reflects The Oak Door’s commitment to pure seasoning. Perfectly cooked to medium rare, enhanced only by black pepper and salt, this steak can be paired with the chef's three special sauces, featuring flavors like green pepper, American barbecue, Argentine chimichurri, or Taiwan’s black garlic, impressively filling your mouth with rich flavors.

Different desserts are offered for lunch and dinner: seasonal fruit tart, dark chocolate cookies, all while maintaining The Oak Door’s warm tradition of table-side service to enhance guest interaction. From now until June 30, any limited set purchased gives you a chance to win a two-night stay at the “Tokyo Grand Hyatt.” Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity!
