BEST WESTERN RESTAURANTS IN TAIPEI
of restaurants I have reviewed. In no particular order and with additional red explanatory text. Ratings displayed are based on all the restaurant's items; that's why some reviews' ratings are under 5-stars on this list. This list is small because most of my Western restaurant reviews are under more specific sections like hamburgers, pizza, pasta, etc.

Just like the first Kooks, Kooks 2 has some of the best Western food in all of Taiwan.

Also, the mountain atmosphere of the restaurant is an experience all of its own.

Some of the best, if not the best, burgers in Taiwan; the best milkshakes in Taiwan; great Mexican dishes; sandwiches; and other exceptional Western dishes. Kooks offers a wide variety of food, but doesn't disappoint in any category.
Gordon Biersch (GB鮮釀餐廳)
I Highly Recommend ☆☆☆☆☆

Phone: (02) 8786-7588
Hours: 11am - Midnight Daily
Gordon Biersch is an American chain that provides upper-scale dining, but still casual with an attached brewery. The beer is top shelf and most of the American dishes offered like their hamburgers are very satisfying, but the pizza is just good, not exceptional.

After they changed their whole menu, T.G.I. Friday's has some of the best Western food in Taipei. They're now comparable to Gordon Biersch in many ways. They have the whole area of gourmet American food categories covered: burgers, steak, ribs, pasta, sandwiches, salad, appetizers, desserts, cocktails, etc.
