Destination Restaurants

Interested in restaurants in Taiwan that offer a unique experience, good food and a great atmosphere.

One such restaurant is 八斗子海鮮餐廳 in Yunlin County. Part seafood restaurant, part aquarium, it is a beautifully designed dining space and has a large and varied selection of live seafood, including many imported varieties of shellfish. The centerpiece is an enormous tank with rays and sharks.

One destination restaurant that came to mind is a place in Yilan named Jiaodaotien (棗稻田).

It was discussed in detail in one of Canadian youtuber Wes Davies’s videos.

I have not visited but it looks intriguing.

If you are driving to up to Alishan or Yushan then a detour to Yupasu Tsou Restaurant is well worth your time. It is on 嘉129 off of Hwy 18.

It serves excellent aboriginal fare in a chill atmosphere and provides stunning views which is unique because unfortunately too few restaurants in the area take advantage of the mountain scenery.

Highly recommend 魚之鄉谷關 鱘龍魚料理餐廳. The restaurant specializes in sturgeon and is located on the farm where they raise enormous sturgeon. Beautiful location off of Hwy 8 on the way to Guguan (谷關). Try the excellent sturgeon roasted on a hot stone. The other dishes are well done also.

On a narrow country road in Yunlin, an old farmhouse style restaurant serves some great home style cooking. A throwback in time with a cozy, chaotic atmosphere of rustic furniture and antique decorations. But the real reason to come here is for the absolutely amazing 香酥鴨, crispy, tender and juicy duck. A real find and a great overall menu.

There is also a branch in Chiayi.
