One of the best

5 Posted on 10 / 08 / 2012

This is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the world. The presentation is just so lovely, they bought me a tiny sesame dumpling in a jar, on a piece of driftwood, with an orchid in a vase on it. I didn't want to eat it, but when I did, that dumpling was one of the most beautiful things I've ever put in my mouth. This was just one of 10 courses. I went back on my last day in Taipei (and to Ever Green buffet) and even though frankly I was dressed like a hobo by Taiwanese standards, the waitresses were all really happy to see me again and treated me even better than the first time. It's expensive, but you only live once, so pay whatever they ask, think only about how beautiful food can look and taste and how lucky you are to be there, and savour the moment as it might be a long time before you get a chance to eat at a place this good again.

OK having said all that, as a vegan they did serve me a drink with honey in it, so make sure you let them know when you order.

Pros: Artistry, Flavours, Uniqueness
Cons: Make sure it's vegan

This swanky vegetarian restaurant is one of its kind! Everyone is treated like royalties. I was lucky to get a taste of their 10 course lunch meals (NT 1,080.00 pp), with an extensive range of appetisers, main meals, and desserts. Every dishes was like beautiful dreams - very nice. And the main meal - steak - was really awesome! Every dish was cooked to perfection and explained by the lovely waitress the name, ingredients, and the health benefit for the diners.
An unforgettable lunch - a must when you visit Taipei!

Pros: Swanky Interior, Beautiful Food, Great service
Cons: Quite pricey, One and only, Why not in my area?

Great food, beautifully presented, great service. However, I wasn't a fan of the tea (tasted burnt to me...)but I think that was how it was supposed to be.

We had the steak set meal (cheapest set meal) and it was amazing. I think it was mad out of mushrooms..

We'll definitely go back to try the other set meals...

The food is pricey, but worth it!

Pros: Great Food, Great Atomosphere, Great Service
Cons: Expensive

luxurious dining

i agree with the other reviewer. this place pampers you, and the presentation is amazing. after they helped me put on a bib and gave me a bowl of water with rose to wash my hand, i cannot help but think that this may be too rich for my blood. i am the kind of person who honestly feel more comfortable eating at a street vendor, as long as the food is good. but if you are looking for a luxurious dining experience and have the money, this is the place for you.

This place pampers and amazes your taste buds and eyes, with every piece of food delicately carved, arranged, and decorated, with the best ingredients. Both the food and the atmosphere is gorgeous.

This is probably Taipei's most expensive vegetarian restaurant (and worth it!). The cheapest set is around NT$980, and consists of 9 small dishes, each one a work of art. There are also sets for NT$1680 and NT$2980.

If you can afford it, this place is a must-try! Only one MRT stop from Taipei main station.

Pros: Gorgeous setting, Delicious, Like eating an art gallery
Cons: Expensive
