Take Your Furry Friends Out for a Meal – A Collection of Pet-Friendly Restaurants

By MOOK Scenic Spots Chen Wenlin | Compiled Report
 
Taiwan’s population includes one pet owner for every three people. 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 by opening pet-friendly restaurants, providing great spots to bring pets during holidays.

1. Pet Café

The owner, with a professional background in culinary arts, used to often bake cakes and cookies for dogs before opening the shop. One day, an idea struck: to bring happiness to more people and their pets, and to put into practice the belief of being not just pet-friendly, but also people-friendly. And so, the private kitchen-style pet-friendly restaurant was born.

The restaurant features its signature “Family Meal,” which incorporates nutritional science into various dishes, allowing you and your beloved pet to enjoy meals made with top-certified ingredients. 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 in 2013. Additionally, there’s a special ice cream crafted by a skilled ice cream chef using purely natural, handmade ingredients—this is the only pet fresh fruit ice cream available domestically.

2. Paw Prints Beyond the Cardboard Box

Tucked away in the corner of an old public housing community in the Eastern District, past a wall surrounded by aromatic plants, wooden counters and chairs are bathed in the glow of yellow-hued lighting and natural light, creating a warm ambiance. On the glass window of the wooden door, the words “Pet Welcome” resolve the dilemma faced by pet owners who can’t dine with their furry friends.

Although the restaurant doesn’t offer special pet meals, the staff—from the owner to the employees—based on their love for pets, will offer their own private stash of canned food and 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,” almost all ingredients and sauces in the restaurant are made in-house and served fresh daily. Their commitment allows them to proudly speak about the quality of their food.
