By/MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team, compiled and reported

Renovating old buildings to give them new life has become a popular creative trend in recent years. Located in the busiest downtown area of Tainan, Taikoo transforms ancient houses into pubs, restaurants, and homestays, preserving the original structures and incorporating Western antique furniture, thus carrying forward their stories and historical appearances. By blending diverse cultures and eras from around the world with Taiwan’s old houses and history, it presents a new look. As the operators are passionate about food and vintage collections, they have breathed new life into a Japanese-era house, expanding from the first restaurant and bar to include three branches offering afternoon tea, furniture, brunch, and homestays. Upholding the spirit of heritage and innovation, they share their philosophy.
