Top 10 Tours in Taipei, Taiwan

February 21, 2022 Leonardo Torrence

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.

Overall highly highly recommend! This is the second class I've done with CookInn (the first being their xiaolongbao + beef noodles class), and I loved this one as well. The class was very hands on -- alongside a very fun and thorough market visit, we made three dishes: egg crepe/pancake, scallion pancake, and soy milk. Our teacher Chelsea was very friendly and easy to follow, and the dishes we cooked were breakfast items that I definitely want to make at home. Everything was super well organized and supervised, and the kitchen studio was very clean. I'm excited to make these dishes at home!
