美味しくてスタッフが優しい

二人のセットを注文した。とても美味しかった!店員さんはちょっとだけ日本語が話せたので、日本語で簡単な会話した。ビーガン食品と本を売ってるスペースもあるので、ちょっとビーガンお菓子を買った。

Pros: 美味しい、スタッフは優しい、小さなビーガン食品のお店がある

Japanese style healthy food with good lunch set

Japanese style healthy food served in a calming atmosphere - white and light wood decor with 8 huge vats on kombucha being fermented. Lunch deals are good value and it was busy during lunch on a weekday.

We liked the set lunch which comes with brown rice, small salad, pickles, miso soup, and kombucha shot. Chose mapo tofu as our main which tasted good.

I also chose the tempeh lettuce summer rolls - probably wouldn't order that again, as each piece was too large and primarily lettuce making it awkward and less satisfying to eat. Same thing in a smaller roll with less lettuce would work better.

Pros: Healthy, Calming atmosphere, Good value lunch set

Cons: Not keen on tempeh lettuce summer rolls

Not bad ~

Generally the food was okay but nothing extraordinary. Good food presentation but I do think the food does not taste as good as it looks ~ sorry. Tried their Banana Creme Brulee & Matcha Black Sesame Cake, they looked great but could taste better. Overall, it was okay.

Pros: Good food presentation, Friendly service

best vegetarian Mapo Tofu

This restaurant is liked by vegans and meat eaters, specially it’s hard to find a good Mapo Tofu in its vegetarian version the one from Flourish can not be beaten!
Highly recommend this place, nice atmosphere, friendly service and great quality and fresh food!

Trendy yet elegant restaurant with Asian Fusion Cuisine

Went here for lunch on weekday, yet it had a good amount of people; can't imagine how it is on weekends. Very trendy yet elegant atmosphere. They had an English menu & the staff spoke decent English which was very helpful. Although the food was expensive, costing 570 NTD each, it was very delicious and we were satisfyingly full. We had a lunch set each getting rice, miso soup, some pickles, kombucha, two main dishes, two drinks & two desserts. The food was very interesting, as it was truly a fusion of different asian cuisines. The pickles had a milder flavour than expected, while the main dishes had a strong flavour. We had mapo tofu(loved it) & a japanese curry(also loved it). The curry had a peace of pineapple -
thought it'd be weird, but very tasty. The desserts were nicely sweet & wholesome.

Although it was quite pricey, the experience of eating a variety of intricate dishes and the atmosphere was lovely. Also since other restaurants in Taipei were very cheap, you might feel okay splurging a bit somewhere like here.

nice dinner for two

The place was full, we were lucky to get the last table without waiting. The food is organic and was good. We ordered the menu for two. Nothing more to add :-). No alcohol (which is a common thing in Taiwan anyway)

One of my fav restaurants in Taipei

I love everything I've tried here - the tempeh rolls, sushi, fried tofu with kimchi, tofu balls, chocolate with almond milk, etc. The restaurant is super cozy and they use a lot of organic ingredients. Highly recommended.

Stylish vegan reataurant

This is a beautiful restaurant serving some seriously good fresh and healthy vegan food. Prices are a little more expensive than you may pay atnother places in the city but I believe they are still very reasonable for the quality of food.
I opted for a set meal which came with a main dish,rice,pickles,salad,miso soup and a small glass of kombucha. This cost me about £8 and I believe it was well worth it. A good portion,beautifully presented in a calm and friendly environment.

Pros: Delicious food , Helpful staff, Calm

Super delicious and very clean

Love that they have tempeh! Lots of really delicious dishes and prepared in a very clean, Japanese minimalist style.

Highly recommend coming here but lunch hours are pretty popular so be prepared to wait for 15 minutes at least.

Pros: tempeh!, great portion, service

Cons: might need to check with staff on order status

great vegan restaurant

This place is great!! Definitely one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Taipei. Came here for lunch and was able to get a table no problem--not too crowded. They serve primarily health-focused Asian/Asian fusion dishes, such as mapo tofu, green curry, vegan sushi, etc. Also I wouldn't describe it as upscale either as the prices are pretty decent (~NT$250-270 for an entree, +70 for meal set) and the atmosphere is very clean/minimal but casual.

Pros: healthy food, close to subway

Great New Vegan Cafe

Flourish is the newest addition to the exploding vegan scene in Taipei. It serves a good range of healthy, fusion cuisine, including Ma Po Tofu, a Green curry and a few western dishes. The interior is pleasant and welcoming. I went on a weekday evening and was lucky to get a table, so I recommend making a reservation. Alternatively, it's one of the few restaurants in Taipei open between lunch and dinner, so it should be possible to just turn up in the afternoon.
It's difficult to know where Flourish will find its niche, but it's certainly up there with Taipei's top vegan restaurants.
Meal sets start at around NT400.

Pros: healthy, delicious vegan food, reasonably priced for food this good, restaurant has nice interior and is not far from M
