One of a few locations in Taipei, this one is near Gongguan MRT station. Offers slightly fancy vegetarian food cafe in a modern, nice atmosphere. Menu features a mix of Italian, Indian, French, and Taiwanese. A meal costs around NT250+. Reported closed to HappyCow, Mar 2016. Open Mon-Sun 11:30am-10:00pm.

Typically Underwhelming Vegetarian Restaurant - Edit
I decided to try this place since I've never tried any of the VF chain, despite there being a few around my university. It was clean and pleasant inside, but the food was a good reminder of why I virtually never go to non-vegan a la carte restaurants in Taiwan. (I recommend either vegan restaurants or regular buffets.)
Only two dishes of at least twenty on the menu could be made vegan. A small bowful of pasta with a simple but reasonable vinegar-based sauce, with a few pieces of grilled vegetables and a number of almonds I could count on my fingers, combined in a set with a freshly-made jiuce (I think) was NT300, and that was with a significant student discount.
That all makes it a fairly typical "western" vegetarian in Taiwan, with the only notable difference that their precious few vegan options are actually labelled on the menu. It wasn't a bad experience, but it would be much better to just go to a nearby buffet (half the price) or take the subway to Guting and have a much healthier, more creative, imaginative and much more delicious bowl from Oh Cha Cha for about the same price.
Pros: pleasant interior
Cons: expensive (for what you get), very little vegan
