so yummy! the food was relatively affordable and high quality. the staff were very kind and gave us a table even though we had issues getting a reservation. the food was flavourful, fresh and simply wonderful! no complaints here ? it is good to book a reservation in advance as it is crowded, the in house restroom was also very clean :)

Root Kitchen brings flavors from all around the world, and it does it right. I had the gnocchi, the burger (they come in two + fries, fyi), and some delicious rolls (I forgot the name, but they were amazing!). Every dish tasted different, but you could tell there was real expertise and quality behind it. Honestly, the food was just sexy. The cream sauce on the gnocchi was so addicting, I could have straight-up drank it. I have a pretty big appetite, and I thought I might still be hungry after, but everything was surprisingly filling. I also loved the neighborhood vibe, and if you’re around, definitely check out their sister bakery, Blivin, I highly, highly recommend it! Root Kitchen is an absolute must if you're looking for exciting vegan food in Taipei.

A cozy vegan restaurant with an inviting interior located in a quieter side road. If you can, make a reservation to ensure you get a table as the restaurant is quite crowded on the weekend. The menu is pretty unique. The ingredients are fresh. Their burgers are not made with fake plant meat which is pretty hard to find in vegan restaurants in Taipei. The fries are hot and crunchy but not greasy. The flavor is sweet and savory which is quite different than the usual fries. It’s delicious. We have asparagus, mushroom, celery wrapped in tofu skin as one of our appetizers. Golden fries with sweet sauce and vegan cheese sprinkled on top as a second appetizer. We both order the Buddha bowl. This dish is served in a hot bowl. It is amazing with a few bites of crunchy rice on the bottom. The fried potato Croquette burger is served with potato wedges. The buns are soft. The entire burger is delectable and almost sinful. We order a lot of food and left with full bellies. Highly recommend this restaurant. We look forward to coming back again.

A vegan restaurant with nice service and healthy food. Foods with delicate taste,not too sweet or salty. Proportions are enough to share.

Root is a cozy vegan Italian restaurant with a clean and fresh approach to food. The dishes were beautifully presented, and everything tasted light yet flavorful — perfect even for non-vegans looking for something different. My personal favorite was the chocolate cake with peanuts — rich, satisfying, and the perfect sweet ending. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. While the staff were kind and helpful (especially the person working in the kitchen who helped us with our order), communication might be a bit tricky if you don’t speak the local language — but nothing Google Translate can’t fix! I also brought my film camera and took a few photos to capture the vibe. Definitely a spot worth visiting!
