Cafe Libero

Top choice in Taipei


Set in a house from the 1950s with vintage furniture and a zelkova parquet floor, this is the perfect place for a romantic date. It also has a touch of the murder mystery about it, with the scarlet sofa chairs and dark wood in the back room. Good coffee and excellent whiskies, with a small outdoor seating area.
