I have a vegetarian visitor coming to Taipei, strict vegetarian.
Any recommendations for vegetarian places in Taipei? anything, from 5 stars to street food, would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
It is not strictly a vegetarian restaurant and it is not cheap, but I highly recommend Mushroom Park. Cost is around NT$500 per person.
Mushroom Park 伯菇園
大安店 Da'an store
台北市仁愛路四段71巷17號
02-87733160
No. 17, Lane 71 Section 4 Ren'ai Rd, Taipei City
民生店 Minsheng Store
台北市民生東路五段60號
02-27530625
No. 60 Section 5 Minsheng East Road Taipei City.
There are vegetarian buffets in almost every neighbourhood. Look for the swastika sign (the Buddhist style one). Generally you choose from the buffet and pay by weight. Around NT$100 for an average meal.
Also check the vegetarian page on this site which has a pdf file of Mandarin phrases you can download.

After asking around these are the two I found in the Taipei Main Station area :
44 Huaining Jie (rd.) Sec. 1
47 KaiFeng Jie (rd.) Sec. 1 - Veggi Garden (very nice!)
There are also a few here :

Vegetarian Kitchen is conveniently located in the small pedestrian market at the bottom of the stairs at the Shilin subway station, which is where you get off to take the bus to the National Palace Museum. It is easy to find as it has a sign in English that clearly designates its vegetarian.
