Minder Vegetarian Míng Dé Sù Shí Eslite Mall

I came to this restaurant after searching for a vegetarian option. It is situated on the B2 level of Eslite Xinyi, inside the food court. If you take the elevator down, it will be on your left as soon as you exit. The lunch crowd moves quickly, so you need to make your decision fast. The prices are affordable, as my last meal only cost me NTD126. I have been here multiple times now and I highly recommend it!

This restaurant is fantastic! The variety of options is impressive, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. Even my meat-loving husband enjoyed his meal.

We stumbled on this by accident in the Eslite food hall basement. The range of food was superb and we were able to fill up our plates quite well for only $130 each. Different rice options are available too (multigrain was my personal fave for an extra $7 $10. As with most buffet places, don't expect drinks to be available, but you can take in a takeaway drink if you wish (no one has dsapproved of us doing this just yet! If you're missing some Western food while out in Taiwan, you can also have hash browns try to catch them while they're hot! : D

Dropped by here for lunch after browsing around in the Eslite building. Setting was nothing fancy, but the location couldn 't be handier as it was right in the food court in the basement. They served a pay-by-weight buffet with tons of choices. Everything was egg free as stated on a sign and it wasn 't hard to figure out which one might have dairy just by looking. Soup, rice, congee and noodles were not included and cost an extra TWD10-20 each. I got a whole plate piled up with all kinds of food plus a bowl of multigrain rice, and together with my partner 's plate, our meal set us back only TWD300. Food was pretty tasty to boot. The only thing I didn 't get was when I asked for some regular water the staff simply said we don 't have water . Very weird, why they refused outright to provide water to customers was beyond me.

Minder Vegetarian Xinyi is the same as the one in Eslite Dunnan or the one inside the Taipei Main Station. Great food, plenty of vegan options (avoid the wrap with mayonnaise), and pretty affordable. I love their turnip cake, fried tofu skin, and different kinds of stir fried vegetables. The only downside about this place is that since it's a vegetarian buffet, if you go a bit late after lunch/dinner time not much food will be left.
