Shilin District, Taipei City｜JB's Diner & Cafe

Nice modern restaurant. Great natural light. Good service and good food. We liked it very much. They have a great selection for brunch and breakfast. Free water is always very appreciable in Taiwan!

After reading all the negative reviews about the service and quality of food I was a bit apprehensive about going here. I was, however, looking for a place with nice outdoor seating, that I hadn't been to before and I finally decided to go see how it was for myself. The outdoor seating here is lovely btw, just off the road but with lots of trees and on a relatively low traffic street, so it's very pleasant and quiet. We didn't have a reservation and I was expecting to be turned away because it was the weekend, but surprisingly there were tables available. Maybe it was because it wasn't too hectic and full, but the service was great - friendly and prompt. The food was good too. We had the bacon jam blue cheese burger which was very good and the veggie Mexican burger which was decent. The carrot cake was definitely the best part of the meal we had, with pineapple bits and coconut flakes, it had so many flavors and textures that went perfectly together.

The food here is delicious and it is a clean and nice restaurant. There is also some outdoor seating. The desserts are big enough to share and also very good.
