One of the few vegan restaurants in Taipei that serve vegan food that's full of nutrition and life. It's definitely a sought after food destination for Taipei vegans. Their desserts are my favorite.

Everything they sell is vegan. It's easily one of the best soy milk shops ever. They use non-GMO soy beans, no thickeners, no preservatives, and no defoamers. They specialize in soy milk and soy pudding, but also sell soy milk ice cream, soy milk yogurt, and tofu.

Everything they sell is vegan. It's easily one of the best soy milk shops ever. They use an exclusive Japanese method for pressing soy beans that makes their soy milk the thickest and creamiest of any other soy milks. They use non-GMO soy beans, no thickeners, no preservatives, and no defoamers. They specialize in soy milk, and it clearly shows.

Everything they sell revolves around non-GMO soybeans, and their entire shop is vegan. They have one of the best soy milk ice creams that I've ever had. Their soy pudding (豆花) is excellent, and I even dare you to mix the two as I did and loved the outcome. They also have yummy soy milk and blended soy milk drinks.

It's vegan gelato, what more needs to be said. Okay, I'll say a little more: They use local, quality ingredients and their family has been making gelato in Italy since 1921.

Phone: (02) 2739-2799
Hours: Tue - Sun: 11:30am - 3pm & 5:30pm - 10pm, Closed Mondays
It's the best vegetarian Indian food in Taipei hands down. Even if you compare it to non-vegetarian Indian restaurants, it's still one of the best places in Taipei. Indian food is so rich and flavorful that meat isn't needed to make completely delicious dishes. They get creative at replacing typical meat tandoori and curry dishes and make even die-hard meat eaters not notice they're going vegetarian.

For vegetarians, and especially vegans, Mia Cucina is a life-saving oasis one finds after crawling through the vegetarian wasteland of eating options in Taipei. Dishes that can be made vegan, if specified by the patron, are clearly marked on the menu with a tomato-looking icon, or a red dot on the brunch & breakfast menu. Mia Cucina has the most food categories that fall under my best of Taipei list, whether it's vegetarian or not.
Guang-Fu Loving Hut 愛家光復店
I Highly Recommend ☆☆☆☆☆

This is my favorite Loving Hut location. It's a vegan's dream. They offer hot pot and other items. My favorite items of theirs are the bibimbap, hummus wrap, and the Heaven's Silhouette-Classic cake selection.
水問蔬食園 (Vegetarian & Vegan Conveyor Belt)
I Recommend ☆☆☆☆
Taipei vegetarian restaurant offering: Sushi Conveyor Belt / Vegetarian Food / Vegan Food / Coffee / Tea / Dessert
☝ (Click link above for review, pictures, & details)
Address:
B1, No. 275, Songjiang Rd., Zhongshan Dist., Taipei City 104

Phone: (02) 2515-1615

Closed Mondays
水問蔬食園 is the only vegetarian and vegan sushi conveyor belt (sushi train) in Taipei. The four different colored plates convey what ingredients are included in the dish, making it easy for any type of vegetarian and vegan. They do a nice job in reproducing the texture and taste of popular Japanese sushi train selections.
吉緣素食 (Ji Yuan Vegetarian Eatery)
I Highly Recommend ☆☆☆☆☆
Taipei vegetarian restaurant offering: Dumplings / Soup / Noodles / Vegetables / Pork Rice / Side Dishes
☝ (Click link above for review, pictures, & details)
Address:
No. 15, Ln. 109, Sec. 3, Heping W. Rd., Wanhua Dist., Taipei City 108
台北市萬華區和平西路三段109巷15號 (龍山商場附近)
Seems to be a restaurant that provides healthy and fresh dishes. The ingredients in the soup are particularly fresh and healthy. It appeared that only the wontons were premade and kept frozen until purchased.
八德素食餐廳 (Bade Vegetarian & Vegan Restaurant)
☆☆☆GOLDEN☆☆☆
Taipei vegetarian buffet offering: Smorgasbord of Vegetarian Food / Ice Cream / Black Coffee
☝ (Click link above for review, pictures, & details)
Address & Phone:
No. 2, Ln. 32, Shijian Rd., Banqiao Dist., New Taipei City 220
台北縣板橋市實踐路32巷2號
(02) 2964-7348
One of the most delicious and healthy vegetarian buffets in Taipei. They have a lot of vegetarian choices that other buffet places have and many unique items of their own; both being on the healthier side, not drenched in cheap unhealthy oil and sauce like other buffets fall victim to.
