Taoleli Vegan

It is only after coming to Taiwan that many foreigners discover vegetarian food can be so wonderful. While most vegetarian food is made of fruit and vegetables in the West, much vegetarian food in Taiwan uses soy beans and rice. This allows people who are vegetarian for religious reasons to eat dishes that resemble fish or meat. Because there are many people who are vegetarian in Taiwan, it is very easy to chance upon vegetarian restaurants in hidden-away alleys. Indeed, if you come from a country where it is not popular to be vegetarian, you may well think Taiwan is a vegetarian’s paradise!

At Taoleli you can find a vegan buffet-style menu where the dishes are diverse and the replacement of meals is fast. In fact, when you decide it is time to eat your fill again, you might find that all the meals on offer have changed! The restaurant is divided into indoor and outdoor seating. Sitting outside, you can see the vegetables that the store grows itself. Especially in autumn or winter, sitting in the garden under the shade and enjoying a meal surrounded by farmland is a real pleasure. In addition to the delicious meals, the store also sells agricultural products, as well as rural retro-style souvenirs. If you would like to take something home to remember Taoleli, this is a great option! As well as attracting vegetarians, this restaurant is a great choice for Muslims who are looking to avoid eating dishes with lard, which is something of a staple in many Taiwanese restaurants.
