Pricy, tasty, unfortunately a lot sold out already - Edit
We ordered the spicy tex mex burger, the roasted cauliflower, and a key lime pie.
Read moreThe burger was very good, the lime pie was not bad.
The cauliflower dish we probably wouldn't order again. It came with creme fraiche and two deep fried buns, the buns were pretty tasteless, apparently neither salt nor sugar was added, and the creme, while not having the typical sour taste, also had a distinct coconut flavor. We wouldn't order it again because of the taste, but because we were not quite sure how the dish was supposed to be eaten (separetly, as a DIY burger, or if the buns were only supposed to balance the rather spicy cauliflower - the waitress pointed out that they are hot several times before ordering though).
Finally, reason for the one star deduction: we came here on a Sunday evening at 5.50pm, yet all smoothies, one of the speciality dishes, and two of the deserts were already sold out. And they seemed to have forgotten about our desert, as we had to remind them and even then it took another ten minutes before we got it (considering that the lime key pie seems to have come out straight of the freezer, it shouldn't take that long to prepare).
Pros: Large menu, many tempting options
Cons: Pricy , Many items sold out

On the pricier side for Taipei but worth it - Edit
The menu has so many things ranging from burritos, to ramen, rissotos, pastas, etc. I tried the tofu skewers, hummus plate, mushroom risotto, and the pancakes and they were all delicious. Definitely on the pricier side but that is a given since there are many high end luxury designer stores in and around the area of the restaurant. Would still make the trek here again nevertheless.

Everything is vegan here hurrah - Edit
Herbivore A4信義店 Vegan料理 is their name, they located inside a department store at second floor, I would totally try the turnip cake😄because traditional turnip cake is never vegan but contains shrimp, it’s always the taro cake is vegetarian style, but this store has vegan turnip cake😄super recommended it😄

Yeah it’s good! - Edit
My last day in Taipei, and Happy Cow once again saves the day. Great vegan restaurant nestled in a shopping mall. The menu is broad and all selections were fantastic. As a starter we had the satay and brussels sprouts. for main course we shared mushroom risotto and spaghetti. Only issue was they brought out the main courses before the appetizers, but we rolled with it. Enjoy!

Awesome international vegan place - Edit
While this was not my first choice after having read a number of not-so-glowing reviews here, it was the only Taipei top oick that was open 3 days after the 2024 Chinese New Year.
Read moreHaving gone there, I was definitely happy for having made that choice, as all the dishes we sampled were delicious. Some reviewers questioned whether this place qualifies as « fine dining », and I wonder why. Yes, they do serve burgers, but all their dishes are creative, of high quality, delicious, reasonably healthy, and the staff is attentive. What more can you ask for?
(Postscript: The espresso after lunch was the only thing not convincing, took very long, was cold & sour)

Pros: Delicious food, Wide range of dishes, Nice ambiance
Cons: Not cheap but IMO reasonable , Espresso was not convincing, sour, cold

Okay - Edit
Typical westernised vegan food located in a shopping mall. Nice enough food but overpriced for what it is.
Read moreI had a pesto sandwich which was massive - far bigger than it needs to be, and came with fries. My main criticism of this was the unnecessary balsamic glaze which just made it really difficult and messy to eat.

Excellent food!! But expensive - Edit
I did not have high expectations for this place after reading some reviews, but honestly the food was tasty, the service was great and I would 100% recommend people to eat here even if it is a bit more expensive

Delicious food - nice service - Edit
Herbivore i would describe as casual fine dining. High quality food but not too fancy. For a one person dinner you can count around 30 USD, so price wise on the highend side.

Not bad - Edit
I really wouldn't call this "fine dining," but the food was good. The menu is huge and includes just about every kind of cuisine on earth. It took me a while to decide what I wanted, and then it turned out they didn't have that dish on that day, so it was back to work... in the end I got the curry noodle soup with coconut milk. The portion was very large and it was tasty.
Read moreThey have a lot of interesting drink options as well.
I would have liked to try a dessert, but couldn't get the staff's attention (even though the place was almost empty) so I eventually gave up.
Pros: Good food , Nice presentation , Pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Inattentive service , The menu is a bit too much

Pretty good food but pretty expensive prices too - Edit
Herbivore’s food and service were much better before the PANDEMIC. I went back for the first time after the pandemic. The pita bread was kinda soggy, and I couldn’t believe it when they asked us to pay for the extra pickled chillies. Of course we could Oxford to pay. It was only $30NT, not even $1 US dollar. But the stingy image of the restaurant is stuck in my mind because of that.
Read morePros: Lots of choices for vegans , Pretty tasty
Cons: Need to pay for chilies (STINGY), Too expensive

I love this place! - Edit
Food is really good and service too, waiters are very friendly and flexible to adjust your order. You need time to read through their menu as they have lots of options!!
Read moreI wish I asked to substitute rice with veggies in the Buddha bowl, but I didn’t know it’ll come with rice besides the quinoa, but all in all I really LOVE everything we ordered [curry Buddha bowl with sweet potatoes: I had a sesame dressing instead of the peanut one, BBQ Vurger, Mushroom Lentil Salad and toasted Brussels sprouts]
It was my husband’s birthday so they treated him with a super yummy dessert! 😊
Will definitely go there again!

Good not great - Edit
Lots options, bit expensive. Had the garlic bread entre, was very good, but big pieces of garlic ruined it. Meal came afterwards, was very average, didn't really justify the price. It's good, but considering the options around Taipei, I'd suggest looking elsewhere first. Otherwise it does the job for a bigger bill

Decent but expensive - Edit
The restaurant is inside the A4 building on the 3rd floor. No view outside but you can watch the luxury brand shops around.
Read moreIt's very expensive, i've uploaded the menu. Water is free. One dish per person is a must. The menu is very extensive. I got the buddha bowl which arrived after like 5mins. There was a lot of red quinoa, red rice, some chickpeas and sweet potato in it. So it was veeery filling, almost couldn't finish. I wished there were more toppings and less carbs. The curry-peanut sauce is quite spicy. The toppings lacked in flavour, were not salty enough. The key lime pie was very cold, so perfect for digestion. Not very sweet.
All in all i liked it, but it was not amazing.
Pros: Maaaany options
Cons: Expensive

Amazing cuisine, big portions - Edit
What I love Herbivore the most was their huge menu selection - I could literally spend 20 minutes just studying each item and deciding what to get. They offer burgers, sandwiches, pastas, as well as some more whole food plant-based options such as curry with brown rice. I also like the fact that they're located in a trendy area to attract non-vegans as well. Highly recommended.

Best vegan restaurant in Asia so far - Edit
This is the best vegan restaurant I’ve been to throughout our travels in Asia. Extensive, well thought out menu. Friendly staff. Clean, bright open restaurant in a posh shopping mall. We were very pleased with everything we ordered. This is a must if you’re visiting Taipei! Bonus points for the metal straws and interest in the environment.
Read morePros: So many vegan options! , Friendly staff, Earth friendly

Vurger - perfect Fusion mix - Edit
We visited this place as we were close by Taipei 101 and it was great. Both of us had ‘Vurgers’ and the chips were amazing. Loads to choose from - we’ll be back!

Sets the bar in Taipei - Edit
What sets this restaurant apart is the breadth of their menu, as well as the quality of food and service. We spent about 15 minutes ordering, because there were so many great options to choose from. In the end we ordered about eight different items. I found them mostly quite tasty- especially the garlic bread, chilli and burrito. While located in the middle of a mall, I still found the ambience inviting.

Pricey, but delectable - Edit
This restaurant is on the second floor of a posh mall. So the prices are higher than average. However, if the dessert is any indicator for the rest of the menu items, this place has really tasty food! (I just got a take-away raspberry cake for like 240 Taiwan Dollars, and sat on the 4F terrace overlooking the 101 Tower) Also worth noting, the staff made it a point to encourage me to eat the dessert within 20 minutes, otherwise it would melt. Still, even though it is relatively pricey, the price seemed fair for the quality of the dessert. Quite gourmet!

Great staff and refreshing food! - Edit
I ate here and absolutely fell in love. The environment was so pleasant and the staff was friendly! But the food really stole the show! I had the balsamic mushroom pasta and it was fabulous (especially considering they added a lot of mushrooms which I love). Then afterward I had the key lime pie which was very fresh and delicious as well. Overall I would recommend this place if you are ever in Taipei!
