Taiwanese cooking uses mild flavorings and has inherited the culinary style of the Fujian coastal region. Taiwan has also been deeply influenced by Japanese and European food culture, giving Taiwanese cuisine its own distinctive character. The most classic traditional dishes include Preserved Radish Omelet, Braised Pork Hock with Peanut Sauce, and Three Cup Chicken. Below are 6 of the most popular and stylish restaurants in Taipei.

When in Taiwan, you've got to try some authentic Taiwanese cuisine! Shin Yeh in Taipei has been serving up Taiwanese cuisine for 30 years. The restaurant combines the essence of Taiwanese snacks and banquet dishes, and is said to be the number one brand of Taiwanese cuisine. Shih Yeh has taken Taiwanese home cooking and highly refined it: for example, it creates simple yet not simplistic dishes out of basic recipes such as Three Cup Chicken, Preserved Radish Omelet, and Fried Pig Liver by virtue of good-quality ingredients, inherited skill, and masterful flavorings. Shih Yeh has a number of branches in Taipei. One of the most popular outposts is “Shih Yeh Dining Taipei 101” located on the 85th floor of Taipei 101. Diners can overlook the stunning panorama of Taipei while dining on fine cuisine.

It has been more than ten years since Really Good Seafood started. The restaurant is situated within a free-standing garden villa that faces Da’an Forest Park. The restaurant supports using local Taiwanese seafood ingredients and combines Eastern and Western design to provide customers with excellent cuisine and a comfortable dining environment. The business has been well-received by Chinese and foreigners alike, including political and business elites.

A stock made from shrimp heads is used in the dish, allowing diners to scoop up both noodles and broth at the same time. The dish comes sprinkled with bean sprouts and herbs, and is accompanied by minced pork, garlic, black vinegar, and shrimp that make for a steaming hot bowl of special Danzi Noodles.
