Food and Dining in Yilan

Dining in Yilan reflects the nature of the area, being mostly either seafood or vegetarian offerings. Around the Pacific Ocean ports, you’ll find the fruits of the sea available in abundance, prepared in the unique local style. Further inland, it’s the fruits of the earth which play the starring role on the menus. In between, night markets offer a good mix of everything that makes the cuisine of Yilan County so enjoyable.

While Taiwanese and Chinese restaurants dominate the Yilan dining scene, the choice of international restaurants is good. Being a quite a rural, homey part of Taiwan, you can’t expect the same Michelin-star quality you’d find in Taipei, but you will find plenty of cozy, mid-range eateries.
