1. Din Tai Fung–Xinyi
$$ | |This brand of dumpling houses has developed a reputation for being the best in the world, and the chain has expanded to as far afield as Sydney and New York. There are also numerous outlets scattered across Taipei, but this is the original location—and many would say the best—having been serving their famous xiaolongbao since 1980. Each plump, steamed dumpling is made fresh to order and comes with a regulation 18 folds, according to tradition. They come with several flavors of fillings, but you can't go wrong with the original, pork.

2. Flavors
$$$ | |Quite remarkably, and somewhat unusually, the restaurant acclaimed by many as serving the very best European food—not just in Taipei, but in all of Taiwan—does not serve French haute cuisine nor does it dole out Italian fare. In fact, the menu reflects the Nordic origins of chef Ola. Specials here include Scandinavian classics such as pickled herring, Swedish meatballs, and venison in a juniper game sauce. The space is intimate and cozy, and the service is always friendly and attentive.

3. Saffron
$$ | |For a refreshing change from local Chinese food, aficionados insist that Saffron serves up some of the best Indian cuisine in the Far East, with naan breads to die for and spicy curries in abundance. Though the menu follows the northern Indian bias toward meat-based dishes, there are also plenty of vegetarian options.

4. Shilin Night Market
$ | |Eating out at a night market is a not-to-be-missed treat in many East Asian countries, and the Chinese food in Taipei's market is as good as you'll find anywhere. Shilin is the city's biggest and most popular market—the food court contains more than 500 separate stalls, so bring an appetite. Stalls begin opening at around 4 each afternoon and feed happy diners until midnight. Snacks are very cheap and start from a few cents each; even larger dishes only run to a few dollars. To decide what to eat, wander around and let your eyes and nose make the selection for you. To get here, head for Juiantan metro station on the Red line, then follow the intoxicating smells; it is also visible from the station.

5. Shin Yeh
$$ | |You can't come to Taipei without trying authentic Taiwanese food, which is a distinct variant of the more familiar Cantonese or Mandarin Chinese fare. Shin Yeh began as a small restaurant in a back alley with just a handful of tables in 1977, and in little more than 35 years it has grown into a chain of large restaurants with half a dozen branches across the city. This location isn't the original, but those in the know consider it the best of the bunch. The restaurant is dedicated to preserving the island's traditional cuisine, and signature dishes like braised pork belly and sweet potato porridge offer something deliciously different from the normal parade of sweet 'n' sour and wonton soups.
