By MOOK Scenic Spots Chen Wenlin, compiled report
 
In Taiwan, one in every three people has a pet. These furry companions are like family, and many hope to take them along on outings to create precious memories together. Now, many businesses have seized this opportunity to establish pet-friendly restaurants, offering great places to go out with pets during holidays.

1. Pet Café

The owner, with a professional culinary background, used to often bake cakes and cookies for dogs before opening the shop. One day, the idea struck—to bring happiness to more people and their pets, and to put into practice a philosophy that is not only pet-friendly but also people-friendly. Thus was born the private kitchen pet-friendly restaurant.

The café boasts its most distinctive exclusive “Family Meal,” applying nutrition science to various dishes so you can enjoy a true gourmet meal made with top-certified ingredients together with your beloved furry friend. There are also multiple healthy, natural dessert options free from chemical additives, paired with pet-friendly European bread improved by a bread master who won a gold medal at the 2013 World Championships. Additionally, there’s an amazing ice cream chef who handcrafts unique, all-natural ice creams—the only pet fresh fruit ice cream in the country.

2. Paw Prints Beyond the Cardboard Box

Hidden around the corner in an old public housing community in the Eastern District, past an exterior wall surrounded by aromatic plants, wooden counters and chairs create a warm atmosphere under the glow of yellow-hued light bulbs and refracted natural light. The words “Pet Welcome” are written on the glass window of the wooden door, solving the dilemma faced by pet parents who can’t dine with their furry companions.

Although no special pet meals are provided for the furry visitors, the staff—from the owner to employees—based on their love for animals, will offer their own canned food and pet kibble to satisfy the cravings of pets who can’t dine with their owners. Moreover, adhering to the principle of “letting every guest eat with peace of mind,” nearly all ingredients and sauces in the restaurant are homemade, freshly prepared on the same day, and served directly to guests. It is this commitment that allows the restaurant to proudly speak about its food.
