Best Brunch Spots in Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Kaohsiung is definitely a foodie paradise, especially if you love Chinese food.
However, if you need your western brunch fix once in a while, then you can find plenty of nice brunch places around town. During our 2-month stay in Kaohsiung last year, we tried a couple of nice spots, and in this blog post, I would like to share them with you! :)So, without further ado, let's start the list!

If you're up for a slightly more fancy brunch, then this brunch spot at the Art Pier is the place to be. It's a very nice restaurant and they serve some awesome eggs benedict.

描Cafe X 屋 Brunch
This cute brunch place/cat cafe makes lovely looking eggs, that are almost too pretty to eat. They serve you a pretty neat brunch selection, along with fries and croissant! It's not really a traditional brunch, but the egg was so lovely and quite delicious as well. If you love cats then you're in luck because there are a few roaming around the cafe.

Din Tai Fung
Of course, you can't go to Taiwan and not try Dim Sum, which is their equivalent of Brunch. Din Tai Fung is a Dim Sum chain, and actually one of the few chains that has been awarded a Michelin star. If you love dumplings, buns and other Cantonese treats, then this is the place for you! Also try the chocolate Xiao Long Bao; they are surprisingly good!

書店喫茶 一二三亭
(aka a Japanese cafe)
If you're up for a slightly different brunch experience, then try this cute Japanese cafe in the Gushan district. We loved the Matcha pancakes with Matcha cream and azuki beans. So good! The pancakes were soft and fluffy and the match cream so rich! They also make decent coffee and have great Japanese teas.
