Kooks 2 has some of the best Western brunch options that are available all day. Besides traditional North American breakfasts, they also have this breakfast item that was so delicious that I have to give it special mention: Macao Style Potato Beef Hash with Fried Egg. Also, the mountain atmosphere of Kooks 2 is an experience all in its own.

Mia Cucina has some of the best Western-style breakfast dishes in Taipei. They have the best eggs Benedict and Western-style waffles that I've had in Taipei. Their omelets are easily some of the best I've had in Taipei. Their breakfast menu is only available on weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. They're very popular, so reservations (which can be done in English over the phone) are usually necessary.

Hua Shan Market
2F., No. 108, Sec. 1, Zhongxiao E. Rd., Jhongjheng Dist., Taipei City 100
台北市忠孝東路一段108號2樓
(02) 2392-2175
One of the oldest, most famous and popular Taiwanese breakfasts in Taipei. Their bread is fresh and of great quality. However, I can't believe they don't provide hot sauce. Bring your own if you like your food spicy.
