Tucheng District, New Taipei City｜Capybara Knight

Fun cafe where, for an additional fee, you can scratch, feed and interact with the Capys in their enclosure. The attendant clearly loved talking to guests about them. The food is fine, as others have said there is a minimum charge for food and my pizza was ok....but we aren't really there for the food.

Worth a visit to feed capybaras and see them up close! As others have noted, the main attraction here is a 15-minute experience with the resident 2 capybaras where you can feed them the grassy plants they like to eat. Note that the capybaras responded mainly to the presence of food and tolerated the occasional petting motion. The duck was more animated and fun to watch though I think he would’ve preferred to be fed as well! My wife found this place and booked us an appointment for the cafe online, though the capybara slot is separate and confirmed after paying for the cafe. There’s a minimum 200 NT spend per person at the cafe, plus an additional 50 pp for the capybara session. We tried having the capybara shaped cake things, along with two different teas which were ok. Travel to here from Taipei was a bit out of the way so we opted to take an Uber to save time. All in all a fun visit.

This was a wonderful experience! The staff was very kind and the man in charge of the Capybara was super nice! He spoke to us and explained everything! Very close to MRT station! We had a lot of fun!
