Tasty moderate price vegan restaurant - Edit
Nice setting if your into that..laid back jazz music. Price average for a vegan place,typically overpriced. Portion size alright. Tried their Fettuccini with cashew cream and porcine mushrooms,not bad. Various dishes ,some somewhat expensive. Tried once was enough for me.

Fabulous international fusion - Edit
All vegan menu. Upscale but prices not that high. Watress spoke perfect English. Lovely light music plays in the background. Tables separated by sheer curtains gives a private ambiance. My main Chana Masala (written on the menu as "Chana Ma 'Soul' La") and desert were delicious. In fact, desert, baked apple and vegan ice cream, was quite amazing.

A pleasant restaurant and dining experience - Edit
The ambiance of Mianto is really relaxing and pleasant. We ordered one set menu and one a la carte dish which was a good idea because it was sufficient food for us.
Read moreThe starter was a small creamy corn soup, the appetizer of 3 basil cream wonton cups, South African curry in a bread bowl (bunny chow), and the mylk cinnamon tart. The a la carte dish was the mushroom risotto.
The basil cream cups were okay but probably made ahead of time and taken out of the fridge because the wonton wrapper wasn't very crispy. The curry was the best dish with nice flavors. The risotto was mostly rice. I don't remember seeing any mushrooms other than the truffle paste on the side of the plate. The mylk tart was good. The food wasn't at all bad, but in that price range, I just expected a bit more bang for my buck.

A taste of Italy - Edit
My buddy and I had dinner here and had a set menu which, although pricey by local standards, was still below the going rate back home. Entree was a corn soup and an interesting cheezy mushroom dish (was alright - the sauce was kind of floury-thick rather than cheesy gooey), main was the Omnipork napoletano (tasty and very tomato-ey) and the dessert was a beautiful chocolate cake with a looot of cream on the side. We enjoyed the meal and as everyone has said, the owner is very friendly!

Beautiful atmosphere - Edit
Quite a lovely restaurant tucked away on a side street. The red drapes added to separate tables during the pandemic actually add to the romantic ambiance. My favorites of the items that my mom and I tried were the mushroom risotto and the tiramisu. Both were fantastic vegan versions of the respective authentic recipes. The rest of the dishes were okay. For instance, I prefer the vegan pizza elsewhere in Taipei. The portion sizes are a bit small, so you may not leave full unless you splurge on multiple courses. I’d like to try the bunny chow next time since I am not familiar with South African cuisine. (Michel, the owner, is from there.) Recommended for special occasions!

Cozy. Upscale. Comforting. - Edit
First to notice about Mianto is the elegance of the place. From the exterior of somehow French inspired cafe, to the interior where the choice of finishes to the furniture and fixtures which you can easily admire. Everything is vegan and prepared as you order. Food is fresh. I just had a quick bite of fries and had my latte. This place is perfect for groups and family.

Could be better - Edit
I’ve been here a few times always hoping that the next time would be better, but it never was. The staff are nice, but the food is average and fairly expensive. The place has potential though.

romantic vegan cuisine - Edit
My omnivorous family and friends are especially recommended the "Mushroom Pasta", because they use wild mushrooms and fermented mushrooms, the mushroom flavor is particularly smell good, and the special plant cream sauce is soooo good too!
Read more"Bunny Chow" is the trational South Africa dish originating from Durban, a little bit spicy, but super tasty, don't forget to finish the side dishes, radish with passion fruit juice, super special! My omnivorous friend said that his favorite corn soup is super rich; also, if you like cream as me, I suggest you order a drink "Floating Mountain" and "Tiramisu".

The chocolate cake was deliciously decadent. However, I was disappointed with the bunny chow as I was expecting one that tasted like the ones back in Durban.

Delicious, Fresh, Innovative! - Edit
Loved my dining experience at Mianto. The restaurant itself is intimate and cosy with excellent service. We ordered their vegan pizza as well as the award-winning fried rice. I personally really enjoyed the fried rice as it's got a nice yummy smoky flavour, would definitely return just for that.

a bit different - Edit
Nice, western style vegan restaurant, with a fair bit of choice. It's a little on the small side, but in some ways that adds to the atmosphere. I went for the vegan pizza, where you get to choose which toppings you'd like. It wasn't too bad, but the soya cheese they use is laid on a bit thick and overpowered the flavour of the pizza a bit. Probably need more tomato and less 'cheese' and it would be better imho. Service was nice and pleasant too, so no real complaints at all.
Read morePros: vegan with lots of interesting dishes you won’t se
Cons: vegan pizza didn’t work for me without real cheese

Great food - Edit
I just went to Mianto for the second time and liked it a lot than the first time. Their pizza comes with toppings of your choice, so you can add sundried tomatoes, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms and other ingredients. Their homemade vegan cheese was really nice. The mushroom stroganoff was a bit intense for me with its sourness, but it was delicious nonetheless. The dark chocolate with soy milk was rich and not too sweet, which I liked. The best part of the meal was the vanilla ice cream that tasted like a combination of ice cream and whipped cream. Probably one of the best ice cream I've ever had!
Read moreOne thing that I didn't like when I went for the first time was that you had to take off your shoes to enter the restaurant, but it seems that they don't have that policy anymore.
Pros: nice food, friendly staff
Cons: a bit pricy

One of the best vegan restaurants in Taiwan! Everything is super full of flavour. Huge menu. Has some good options for celiacs and happy to modify things to suit. Pizza, cakes and nachos all great but the hot chocolate is one of the best I've ever had!!! Super friendly ! Restaurant is super cute.

This became one of my favourite vegan places in Taipei. It's a little tucked away but well worth a visit.
Read moreThere are loads of interesting options. The chef does a great job of producing cheesy flavours. There's a mushroom and cheese bake starter dish that is really incredible.
Some dishes are a little disappointing though, I wasn't so impressed with the onion ring starter, it was a bit dry and crumbly, or my side of fries, they didn't seem appropriately cooked, on my last visit. My friend commented that the table we were at was a bit low for dining, though she thought it would have been fine if we were just having a drink.
Anyway, don't let those comments put you off. It's one of the best vegan places in Taipei with a fantastic range of options.

Beautiful place - Edit
We had lunch in this place and really enjoyed the experience. Service was sweet and so is the decor of the restaurant and food was good too. We had dinner combos: pumpkin soup, bacon pasta (Antonio's pasta) and cranberry ice cream / side salad, mushroom pasta and peanut ice cream. Both pastas were good, even though the bacon pasta could have been creamier. Now the sauce of the pasta was a little bit too liquid. Pumpkin soup was little bit too sweet. Peanut ice cream had nice flavour, but its consistency was a bit weird. It was quite hard and dry. Cranberry ice cream was instead a direct hit. One of the best vegan ice creams we have ever had. All in all a really nice place!
Read morePros: Cranberry ice cream!, Fully vegan interesting menu, Nice decor and service

Fantastic! - Edit
International cuisine with a relatively extensive menu that can make it - in a good way - difficult to choose from. Everything tasted as great as it looked and the restaurant itself had a very comfortable/clean vibe to it. The staff were efficient and courteous and Michel Cason, owner/chef, was a very gracious host. Reservations recommended.

great spot - Edit
it was quite crowded at 13:00 on a Saturday but we were able to squeeze in, they do take reservations. minimum $250 per person which you hit by ordering any of the main dishes. we tried a tempeh dish and the mushroom stroganoff, both quite tasty. with drinks and gratuity the bill was almost $900, more than we're used to spending in Taipei but it was worth it for a nice lunch, we'll go back.
