Things to do in Taipei, Taiwan: The Best Food & Drink

April 30, 2022 Rebbecca Marino

You can eat very well—and very cheaply—in Taipei. The restaurants may not look posh, but the quality of the food is superlative. And there’s a huge variety of restaurants—in addition to local Taiwanese specialties, you’ll find regional cuisines from all over China, as well as great Indian, Japanese and even Italian options. Just make sure to leave some room for snacks—street-vendor food here is addictive.

Reviewed By GessykaM - Taichung, Taiwan

Ivy was amazing! So knowledgeable about everything in the market and she really took the time to explain what everything was. I have lived here for 11 years and still learned a lot! The cooking class was wonderful, like cooking with family. I highly recommend this class as a way to get an authentic Taiwanese experience. You can choose from over 60 Taiwanese dishes and she will make alterations to the recipes to suit vegetarian and others. We made an onion pancake, vegetarian hot and sour soup and shrimp skewers on bamboo shoots. They were all delicious! She even gives you recipes to take home! I will be telling everyone I know to do this with any visitors they have to Taiwan. I know I will do it again with my next visitors.
