Renovating old buildings to give them new life has become a fairly common creative trend in recent years. Located in the busiest city center of Tainan, Taikoo transforms ancient houses into pubs, restaurants, and homestays, preserving the original structures while integrating Western antique furniture, thus carrying on their stories and historical appearances. It blends diverse cultures and eras from around the world with Taiwan’s old houses and history, presenting a fresh new look. Because the owners are passionate about food and collecting vintage items, they have breathed new life into an old Japanese-era house, expanding from the first dining pub to include three branches offering afternoon tea, furniture, brunch, and homestays—upholding a spirit of heritage and innovation, and sharing their philosophy.
