Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Taipei

Clarissa C. • September 7, 2014Awesome dumplings! Truffle dumplings are a must-try.

Nina • July 30, 2017Everything is delicious here but pricey. Don't leave without ordering taro dumplings for dessert.

Dan M. • March 15, 2020This is one of my favorite of the OG tea spots. Still preserves a no-frills warehouse vibe.

Momo H. • April 16, 2016... However, the char siew (not Cantonese style) here is awesome! Crispy skin, chewy pork belly slices... Awesome stuff!! Apparently authentic Taiwanese food here, try it😋

Jonathan Y. • September 5, 2016Get here early since the waits are long. 小笼包 (xiaolongbao) are must tries here. On the pricey side but worth going.

Clara W. • April 13, 2019Super fancy hot pot place with delicious fresh seafood. The mussel was still moving when we cooked it!

Chris W. • September 15, 2016Beautiful shop. Worth the trip to sit and have a pineapple cake and tea (for free).

Ingrid W. • May 11, 2015Coffee beans roasted in-house, Alishan coffee. Highly recommend the pudding. Muffins are good too.

Emma L. • October 15, 2018Best pineapple pies so far in Taiwan!

Henrik • January 9, 2016My favourites remain the black truffle pork xiao long bao, spicy pork wontons and thesesame buns for dessert! Grmpf!

Ingrid W. • August 20, 2015Rich and pure peanut ice cream. This is one of the best places for traditional (and unique) ice cream flavours, none of which are overly sweet.

Tabitha J. • March 31, 2016Delicious braised pork over rice. Amazing crispy bean curd. Ask for an English menu. It has pictures!

Miss Tiffie ❤ D. • January 21, 2016xiao long Bao, wine chicken, chicken soup, bamboo, A cai, fried rice with pork chop, and if u feel fancy truffle xiao long Bao!!!!!!

Constance |. • July 14, 2019Good food; recommend salted egg tofu, fried rice, green veggie in sesame sauce, hot mochi. Modern clean venue, fast service, very crowded and a bit noisy. Booking recommended. Not expensive.

Constance |. • March 28, 2019Amazing cannelé, very good sugar & custard brioche. Seriously amazed by the freshness and tastiness of the bakery items.

Elise • May 28, 2019Soy milk with soy custard pudding is a great.

ningsta • December 26, 2022Sesame and peanut dumplings with osmanthus "soup". Like the soup!

Johnny W. • May 16, 2019(5/5) Small, hip cafe with delicious cakes, tarts, and other pastries. Be sure to try the guava cheesecake and tropical passion tart: both are tasty yet surprisingly light.

Constance |. • October 30, 2019Delicious warm chewy mochi with peanut powder; sesame powder is too sweet. Get soy pudding with small black sesame mochi balls, fresh taro is good too.

Miuko H. • March 2, 2014營業時間：1200～0000

Mars W. • August 3, 2018Really cool building, doesn't look like normal Starbucks. Nice outside area seating. Staff are friendly and can speak English.

Arturo L. • March 4, 2015Best guabao in Taipei! Great Taiwanese flavor, especially for foreigners' taste :D

Richard H. • January 11, 2016get the dumplings in chili oil :) delicious!

Chang-Cheng H. • January 3, 2015Wonderful place! Nice place for spending time in the lovely afternoon.

Keyue B. • May 12, 2018Get the beef noodle, wide noodles. The orange condiments are spiced lard, green ones are pickled mustard greens and the red one is chili oil. There's also two types of vinegars, try experimenting.

Glenn G. • October 29, 2017Had the best tea experience in the mountain. You might not have so much view but the food are fantastic! Tried this noodle and dim sum! Incredible!

Nina • July 30, 2017Sirloin steak hot pot is yum

Ian C. • June 22, 2019The beef noodle broth tastes stronger by default than most places. La main is cooked al denté. Try the Zhajiang mian!

Teresa • March 13, 2013Really good flaky scallion pancakes (蔥抓餅)! If you're really hungry, get it with an egg. You won't regret it!

Kenny L. • November 1, 2019Typical fine dinning with 4 or 5 courses... everything is creative with the local ingredients. Definitely worth trying!
