The choice of restaurants in Yilan mostly focuses on local and Chinese cuisine, though there are a few international options available. Yilan has a fascinating food scene, with remarkable seafood and vegan offerings. Some of the best dining experiences are discovered by simply exploring. In particular, you’ll find a wealth of seafood restaurants by the harbours in the area, where the preparation of your meal is half of the fun of it!
You should also check out the night markets for some real local flavours. Be on the lookout for Bao Xin Fen Yuan – a Yilanese dessert crafted out of tapioca. Usually served on ice and dressed with unimaginable toppings, this is something you cannot pass by during your Yilan visit.
