Great semi-outdoor food court with all sorts of options - Taiwanese, Japanese, Italian, etc. Perfect for a warm day!
So many of Taipei's best restaurants are on/just off this street. Skip Din Tai Fung if it's too crowded, and opt for many of the other delicious restaurants!
My favourite nightclub in Taipei. It gets packed, so come before 2am. Cover is $1000NTD I think.
Crazy delicious scallion pancakes and totally worth the wait. Get "everything."
The portions are small, so splurge! Order: the Dan Tsi noodles with a braised duck egg and the braised pork rice.
Always pretty packed. The park inside offers one of the nicest views of Taipei 101.
A lovely place to spend a day - filled with design exhibitions, cafes, shops, and local crafts.
So it's pretty tacky, but fun if you go with an open mind and a big group of friends! On the weekends, it's filled with a lot of travelers, expats, international students, etc.
The famous oyster omelette joint at the Ningxia night market. The shrimp version is also delicious!
The best and cleanest night market in Taipei. Don't leave without ordering: roast duck's head/tofu, fried squid balls, braised pork rice, pork dumplings, and fried taro balls!
Sparadise is the best spa in Taipei. Their Spa Symphony treatment lasts 3 hours and leaves you in complete bliss.
If you come early, reservations aren't needed. Sit at the bar and order direct from the bartenders. Live jazz too!
A huge luxury mall with lots of shopping options. Most are international brands, though, so not super local.
I personally enjoyed the xiao long bao here more than Din Tai Fung. The shrimp fried rice is also stellar!
An absolutely stunning view if you can catch the suspension bridge without a ton of tourists!
An absolute can't miss when visiting Taiwan. The hiking is incredible and the views are breathtaking. Make sure the weather is nice!
Come during off-hours for a shorter wait. Order: xiao long bao and pork chop fried rice.
Proper NY-style cocktails. There's no menu, just chat with the bartenders and they'll whip up something perfect for you!
Delicious Korean restaurant where the staff do the cooking for you. Order the peach or lemon soju!
Definitely worth going through the museum. Fascinating history. They do a changing of the guards every hour as well.
The mango snowflake ice & panna cotta is $190NTD and crazy good. Definitely shareable though!
Little hole-in-the-wall off Yongkang. Get the beef & tendon noodles. $240NTD and so worth it.
