Sih Ye

Top choice in Taipei


Just a minute's walk downhill from Maokong station. Sih Ye has one of the most beautiful teahouse interiors: a central bodhisattva statue, indoor pond, moon door and great city views. It's also the only place where you can recline on cushions in private booths and watch carp swim beneath glass flooring. Food (stir-fried dishes and seafood, NT$280-320) is available until 9pm.
