Jiuju

Located in the bustling Jiufen Old Street area, this place isn't very spacious, nor is it conducive to quiet conversation. But this household name has stood the test of time, turning out its famous Fuzhou fish ball soup since 1946! The bouncy texture of the fish contrasts nicely with the juicy minced pork filling. For starch, try the braised pork rice or noodles tossed in pork sauce. Super-fast service means it is a good choice for a quick bite.

Opened in 2023, this cosy bistro in a quiet village by the sea sports a rustic yet refreshingly modern interior. A zero-waste ethos and locally sourced ingredients set the scene of the French menu which demonstrates strong Asian influences and changes frequently. It may include items like Shandong roast chicken with grilled pickled cucumber or fried lamb tripe with purple cabbage in coriander sauce. Also check out the well-curated selection of natural wines.
