West District, Taichung City｜Verdure

Pretty good vegetarian cuisines. Kinda rare to find a good vegetarian place that is also enjoyable for everyone. Risotto was done correctly and good. (I find many Taiwanese Italian places make risotto it that well and weirdly fusion.) Probably the best risotto I had in Taiwan to be honest. Burger/sandwiches was really well good, balanced and interesting. They can prepare any of the menu items as vegan if you request and require it.

Super quaint establishment run by a friendly host + chef. Love the decor (there are small knick knacks from all around the world), and the warmness of the folks here. Foreigners who can’t speak English should be able to get by reasonably easily — just ask for pictures of the food items, and be sure to order and pay at the front when you’ve decided what you want. Highly recommend the thin crust pizza — its truly unique (even among pizza made in East Asian countries), and the cheesecake isn’t too sweet (and a refreshing way to end a meal). Be sure to call ahead or make a reservation, as it’s usually pretty packed.

Never have i ever expected a vegan pizza to taste so good! & both the chef and the waitress were also super friendly, making our dining experiences even more enjoyable. Will definitely revisit & saving this spot to our pocket list 🙌🏻
