In 2006, a mushroom farmer opened this mushroom-themed restaurant in Xinshe, the mushroom capital of Taiwan. Free-range chicken soup with shiitake tastes rich and flavoursome, while dried day lily flowers and assorted mushrooms add to the complex taste profile. Try also three-cup monkey-head mushrooms, and mushroom minced pork rice. Adjacent to the Sea of Flowers and Dakeng, it makes a great stop to recharge your body after a day out.

On a mountainside nearly 500 metres above sea level, this Zen-inspired establishment was founded 10 years ago and opened by a renowned restaurant group. The elegant room is nestled on meticulously manicured ground that spans over 3,000 square metres. Only one 10-course omakase menu is offered, featuring tea tasting rituals and novel creations based on kaiseki traditions. Seasoning is precise and restrained for natural flavours to come through.

Meaning ‘my home’, this single-storey courtyard house circa 1950s set amid tall residential buildings will instantly teleport guests back to grandma’s home in the countryside. The menu is mostly Taiwanese from a bygone era, with occasional Hunan and Xinjiang offerings. Old-time steamed river perch with fermented chillies has complex savoury umami with a mild kick. Barrel chicken is chargrilled in the courtyard and needs pre-ordering.
$$$Modern Cuisine
Another venture by the owner of a famous tea parlour, enPure is tucked away in a quiet alley. Diners are escorted through the lush garden into the minimalist space done out in muted tones of brick red and cool grey. The head chef was once an interior designer and her tasting menu seduces with delicate elegance, finessed by modern techniques. Both oenophiles and teetotallers are catered to, with astute wine/tea pairings to complement the food.
$$Taiwanese
Chef Ah Hsi's career in Taiwanese cooking spans more than 30 years. His family used to farm geese, which explains his skills in butchering and cooking geese. As opposed to poaching the birds in brine as most Taiwanese do, he slow roasts them in a barrel before smoking them with cane sugar. His signature roast goose boasts juicy flesh and smoky aromas. The duck sausage is meaty and tender without the greasiness of its pork counterpart.

Don't miss the chicken rice comprising velvety boneless chicken leg drizzled with chicken schmaltz, served with steamed local rice.
$Vietnamese
This cheerful restaurant is run by its Vietnamese owner. The menu tips towards the Northern end of her home country, and cilantro is used sparingly to cater to local taste. The speciality bun dau mam tom consists of rice noodle squares, pork intestines, pork feet, blood sausage, deep-fried tofu and leafy greens, alongside fermented shrimp paste, or a fish sauce dip. Nem ran (fried spring rolls) and pork skewers are also worth trying.

This quaint shop with over 40 years of history stands at the end of a winding alley. The second generation of the family prides itself on its signature dish – chicken braised in rice wine with Chinese herbs. No water is added and the broth bursts with deep umami. The chicken tastes especially good after being dipped in chilli soy sauce and ground pepper. For a complete meal, pair with blanched noodles to soak up the broth.
$$European Contemporary
In a factory-turned cultural park, traces of its former vocation are still visible in the high-ceilinged room. The head chef has over 20 years of experience and he highlights the best local ingredients with European techniques. His tasting menu values sustainability as much as flavour, capturing the terroir and season with culinary gems. Each course is presented by the staff via a narrative that adds to the overall experience. Check out the selection of local millet wines.

Chef Rong opened this little gem tucked away in an alley in 2021. The room is reminiscent of a Japanese diner, with its wooden counter enclosing an open kitchen. The eclectic menu covers Taiwanese, Japanese and Western dishes in smaller portions so that guests can sample more variety. Signature items include braised pork rice with sakura shrimps – the hand-diced pork is fatty and melty, Job’s tears and rice that’s rich and creamy. Reservations are mandatory.
$$$Cantonese
Decorated with rattan screens and embroidery art, the interior drips understated luxury. The kitchen is helmed by an experienced chef whose CV boasts many years in upmarket hotels. His menu is pedigree Cantonese, but Taiwanese produce like fruit and tea leaves imparts a distinctive local tang. Oolong tea smoked char siu in sticky pineapple honey glaze boasts juicy, tender meat. Save room for the taro sago with coconut milk.
$$Japanese
The owner-chef used to run an izakaya and honed his yakitori skills in Japan. After walking through a mini Japanese garden, diners are ushered to their seats at a U-shaped counter to witness the chefs' grilling tricks. Only local Gui Ding chickens are used and not a single part goes to waste. Diners are expected to opt for a set menu, to which other rare cuts can be added. Call ahead to pre-order chicken sashimi, squab or Silkie chicken.
$$Seafood
A professional angler opened this joint over 10 years ago, naming it after his favourite fishing spot. It serves a menu similar to other stir-fry restaurants, but with an emphasis on line-caught fish from offshore islands, plus some original creations and specialities from the Matsu Islands. Must-tries include steamed fish in a house-made winter melon sauce, or sautéed squid with pickled cabbage. If in doubt, ask the owner's wife for recommendations.
$$Creative
The owner of a Japanese barbecue restaurant opened this locale to serve creative small plates underpinned by European, Chinese and Japanese techniques. Marbled Wagyu beef is of course a highlight on the menu, but it's items such as grilled ox tongue in char siu glaze, and sugar-smoked pork offal that make the experience unique. If you do not fancy beef, local breeds of duck and chicken are also available. Order the day's special on the board.
$$Taiwanese contemporary
After graduating from culinary school, the owner-chef honed his skills in different places before opening huist (Dutch for "home") in 2023. His prix-fixe menu is inspired by Taiwanese cooking, finessed by Western techniques and has lots of home-style touches: appetising raw scallops marinated in chilli garlic kombu soy; smoked marlin in sugar rub with sliced chicken comb sandwiched between the silky fish for contrasting textures.
$$$$Creative
Chef Ricky from Hong Kong honed his skills in prestigious kitchens in Europe and in his home city. From this unique vantage point, he champions modern Franco-Asian cuisine featuring locally sourced produce and seafood in season. His love for Taiwan also manifests itself in the papier mâché light fixtures, cutlery and tableware by local artisans. His tasting menu is seasonal and always includes a version of his signature claypot rice.
$$Taiwanese
Health-conscious diners come to this well-lit eatery with views of a manicured garden for creative Taiwanese food made with reduced oil and sodium and, for the most part, traceably sourced ingredients. Some dishes are amusingly named, e.g. "When Huadiao Meets Cherry Valley Duck" (duck sliced and cooked in the famous liquor). The seasonal offerings are worth trying; set menus are great for big parties. The trilingual menu makes tourists feel welcome.

After stints at some top restaurants in Japan, chef-owner Yuan opened this dining concept in 2013. In 2024, it moved to this spot with a compact dining room gracefully decorated with floral arrangements. The single menu with three main course options is inspired by Taiwan's culinary history. Banquet classics such as eel rolls with salted egg yolk and ham are given a fresh spin. House-grown herbs and edible flowers add colour to the attractive plating.
$$$Innovative
This restaurant is spread over two floors, complete with a vaulted ceiling and a courtyard. Bare concrete and brick walls contrast well with the wood-rich interior. You can expect a single tasting menu, with a varying number of courses at lunch and dinner. The exact items change with the season, but they all celebrate Taiwan’s produce and culinary culture with creative techniques and plating. The cold-brewed tea pairings are also worth checking out.
$$Beijing Cuisine
Named after Lin Yutang's novel and channelling the style of northern China's grand mansions with its gable roof and grey tiles, this well-known restaurant has been building a loyal following since 2002.

The room exudes a relaxed vibe with its faux-industrial décor, semi-open kitchen and full-length windows. The owner named it Pi as a circle with no beginning or end is a good metaphor for the boundless possibilities in cooking.

This restaurant set amid luxurious apartment towers is famous for its precisely cooked wet-aged US steaks, especially the Certified Angus Beef USDA prime rib eye cap, prized for its tenderness, flavour and succulence. Consider ordering the set menu that includes an appetiser, side and sweet; opt for the umami-laden bottarga sauce to go with your steak. The house-made desserts – such as silky crème brûlée with fresh berries – are also a must.
$$$$Japanese
Set against a textured wall, the hinoki counter stretches the full length of the room. The chef has been making sushi for over 20 years and he fashions a menu that features Hokkaido fish and small plates to go with alcoholic drinks in equal measure.

Forchetta is popular with those in the know, but it's easy for first-timers to miss the sign. A vet by training, the head chef has a real passion for food and gardening, as demonstrated by his East-meets-West creations and miniature garden. The single set menu includes a choice of two mains. With prior notice, the chef can prepare different mains for returning customers. His tasty house-made tagliolini works beautifully with the Taiwanese sauce.

The tables sport ultramarine glass screens in keeping with the maritime theme. There is no menu: guests pick something from the live fish tanks and the staff recommends how best to cook it. The local catch from Yilan and Penghu and imported seafood are prepared Taiwanese style, namely steamed or pan-fried with garlic to highlight their natural flavours. Those who prefer their fish as natural as possible can opt for sashimi.

This restaurant changed hands in 2022, but the festive interior with its red and black colour scheme stayed the same – as did the kitchen team.

A Taichung-based brand opened MeatGQ in 2014 and the steaks surpass mere good quality (or "GQ"). The glass room for aging occupies a prominent position in the restaurant, complementing the lofty ceiling and elegant decor. The menu features various prime cuts from the US, Australia and Japan – those that are dry-aged in-house are especially prized. Stay tuned for the creative appetisers that are added to the menu now and then.
$$Seafood
Before the owning couple opened this restaurant in 1989, they had been fishers and fishmongers. Now a household name and managed by the second generation, Meidz still prides itself on quality seafood mostly imported from Penghu. Oval squid in soy, three-cup grouper, rice vermicelli soup with pomfret, and catch of the day such as dusky stingfish are all excellent choices. Reservations are recommended at weekends.
$$Hakkanese
Perched on a hillside, the rustic room commands sweeping valley views. For over 20 years, customers have been making their way to this countryside cabin for traditional Hakkanese cooking with subtle creative touches. Simple but tasty, the scrambled egg with wild chayote boasts a chewy texture, sweet flavour and eggy aromas. Their hallmark mochi is made in-house by pounding sticky rice, before being tossed in sugar and ground peanuts.
$$Hakkanese
The owner’s family used to run a tea leaf factory and some 30 years ago, he remodelled the factory building into a Hakkanese restaurant. Red bricks, wooden beams and wood-fired ceramics impart a rustic edge. Traditional Hakkanese fare defines the menu, starring unique ingredients like red shiso. Slow-cooked succulent braised pork belly with homemade preserved mustard greens allows the flavours to meld and intensify.

Since 1999, diners have been coming to this no-frills joint for black pepper duck, a revamped traditional banquet classic. The owner seals in the juices with complicated steaming steps and imbues the bird with rich peppery aromas using a secret marinade.

Converted from a century-old courtyard residence, the room offers an insight into a bygone way of life. Since 1999, the owner-chef has been serving his grandma’s Hakkanese recipes. His signature poached free-range chicken boasts golden, bouncy skin and firm, juicy meat with a kumquat dip to cut through the richness. Golden sweet potato is added to local rice for fluffiness, fragrance and sweetness. Portion sizes can be tailored to your party size.
$Noodles
This noodle shop started in a wet market in 2003. It moved to its current address near a train station in 2021, while growing in size. As the name suggests, it prides itself on its fried sparerib noodles served with crisp bean sprouts and starchy taro in a broth rich in scallion aromas. The choice of noodles is almost head-spinning; try the locally made ribbon noodles which are springy in texture and are ideal to soak up the flavourful broth.
$$Taiwanese
The owner-chef used to run a lunchbox business which morphed into a full-blown restaurant with dine-in service in 2015. The no-frills space and the friendly service team contribute to its charm, but the main event remains its inexpensive, delicious Taiwanese home-style cooking. Try the deboned chicken in scallion oil – the skin is bouncy, the meat is succulent and silky, while the Hakkanese kumquat dip and garlic soy add an extra tang.
$Small eats
Complete with a garden and pond, this eatery outside the city can claim over 40 years of history. Local snacks, stir-fries and marinated meat define the score, together with their eponymous signature rice vermicelli.

Pair with a bowl of pork ball soup for an authentic Hsinchu meal.
$Small eats, Vegan
A descendant of a century-old Chinese herbal shop, the owner came up with a plant-based gua bao recipe for his vegan wife. The fluffy bun is stuffed with assorted herbs, veggies and mushrooms. Rather than rich pork belly gua bao, you will taste intriguing layers of herbal flavours and textures. The menu is concise and everything comes with herbal ingredients. Also try the fragrant Chinese angelica soup and the nourishing yam and lily bulb soup.
$Noodles
This tiny gem decorated with mosaic tiles and dark wood trimming specialises in handmade noodles and dumplings, alongside soy-marinated meats and other side dishes. Everything is fresh and made to order, including the signature wontons in red oil that boast chilli oil infused with five different spices for complex, rounded heat. The springy pork and shrimp filling goes down a treat with the silky wonton skin. It gets extremely busy at mealtimes, so come early.

A 70-year-old house tucked away in an alley is home to this nostalgic, rustic joint. The owner-chef, who is mad about cooking, opened this shop selling stir-fried and home-style Taiwanese fare over 10 years ago to share his passion with hungry foodies. His score, free of bells and whistles, impresses with bold flavours and wok hei. The menu spins with the season and sautéed osmanthus egg with bamboo shoots is the must-try in spring.

Another highlight is the sausage stuffed and grilled on the spot that impresses with wine aromas and a nice balance between lean pork and fat.

Floor-to-ceiling windows invite in the lush greenery and natural light from outside. For over 15 years, the Hakkanese owner has been reimagining Taiwanese fare by incorporating unmistakably Hakkanese condiments such as miso, pickled gourd and preserved winter melon.

For the health conscious, min food has home-style sets that strike a nutritional balance – a protein course such as grilled Aussie beef tongue is served alongside soup, salad, pickles, multigrain rice, fruit and a small dessert. Portion sizes are adequate and every item is beautifully presented. There are a few à la carte items, but for the full experience, go for the sets.
$$$Japanese
The chef garnered 10+ years of experience in Japan and Taiwan before starting his own venture in his hometown. The menu is essentially Japanese, but jazzed up with creative twists. Grilled fish is seasoned by salt laced with dried salmon roe for extra umami. Champion rice from Taitung is cooked in spring water from Mt Fuji in a donabe. For a sweet finale, koya tofu mousse is drizzled with toffee sauce and sprinkled with strawberries and pistachios.

The owner is passionate about art and gardening, hence the murals (which she hand-painted herself) and profusion of lush greenery in her cosy, homespun joint. The head chef has been cooking professionally for over 40 years and his eight-course set menu is the quintessence of Taiwanese home-style cooking. Seasoning is on the light side so the ingredients can shout their name. The friendly service and a buzzy vibe keep diners coming back.

A firm favourite with professional drivers, this simple shop sells Taiwanese snacks and is depicted by warm, friendly service. The concise menu stars classic comfort food like braised pork rice, meatballs, sticky rice dumpling, and pork blood cake.

With a stone veneer and wooden counter, the moody room melds modern design with subtle Chinese motifs. The same philosophy prevails in the score, as grill and barbecue recipes are imbued with Asian twists. The 6-cut grilled meat selection includes pork belly marinated with red koji and served with salted mustard greens. Diced Wagyu flap steak is smoked in pine needles, hay and Chinese herbs. Everything is even better with the house-made harissa-XO sauce dip.
$$$$Sushi
The birch panels and counter brighten up the darker hues adorning the space. After honing his skills in Japan, the chef returned to his hometown to open Sushi An. Most of the fish is shipped straight from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, and he orders the freshest catch from the northeastern coast of Taiwan (e.g. ishidai and nodoguro). The single omakase menu comprises 10+ pieces of sushi, rounded out by tamagoyaki and freshly brewed Oriental Beauty tea.
$$Taiwanese
The decor may feel a little dated, but the room is clean and well maintained. Taiwanese classics are the strong suit here; traditional recipes with authentic local flavours keep diners coming back. Their sautéed beef with scallion stands out for its tender meat and spot-on seasoning. Prompt service keeps the wait time to a minimum. Note that the restaurant has irregular days off, so check their website before heading there.
$$$Modern Cuisine
The décor mirrors the Wabi-Sabi philosophy of finding beauty in imperfect and temporary things. Natural elements like stone, wood and water are softly lit for a tranquil vibe. The food is a nod to Japanese culture, but familiar flavours are combined creatively in unusual forms and textures thanks to modern techniques such as molecular gastronomy. Watching the culinary artworks ‘unfold’ at the counter is a genuine experience.

位于哈韦亚阿雷纳尔海滩的Monsoon是一家素食泰餐厅,拥有20年历史。食客对食物评价两极分化:部分人称赞其新鲜美味、色彩丰富且氛围温馨;但另一部分人批评菜品平淡、分量少、米饭需额外付费,甚至出现食材不新鲜或烹饪过度的情况。服务方面,有员工被赞热情周到,但也有反馈称上菜缓慢(如等饮料25分钟)及菜单获取不便。环境方面,新址装饰精致且设有加热器,适合晚间用餐,但部分评论指出室内噪音过大,声学效果不佳。整体体验因批次和时段差异较大。
适合追求特定泰式风味且能接受服务波动的食客,建议提前确认菜单并避开高峰时段。
