The best coffee shops in Taipei
Our pick of Taipei’s specialty coffee, led by the city’s single entry in the global coffee ranking. Taiwan’s other ranked cafés are in Kaohsiung, Taichung and Hong Kong, so they are deliberately absent here. A favourite.place selection.

Taipei’s best bars
Our pick of Taipei’s cocktail bars. Four Taipei rooms sit on the current Asia ranking; the rest are the city’s standing names. Taiwan’s highest-ranked bars are in Taichung and Tainan, so this list is deliberately Taipei-only. A favourite.place selection.

Taipei’s best casual eats
