Root Kitchen — Restaurant in Da'an District

This vegetarian/vegan restaurant offers delightful food, great service, and a lovely ambience. I arrived a little earlier than my reservation but I was still able to be seated immediately. They have English menus and the ability to order by QR code. The online menu doesn't have English but it's easily translated by your web browser. We ordered two main courses and then added the see menu for 2 people for an additional 600 ntd. It was truly worth it and more than enough food for 2 people. My friend ordered the truffle gnocchi and I got the pesto mushroom pizza. As pert of the set menu, we got a fragrant tea (maybe jasmine), cheese fries as the appetizer, and what tasted like roasted corn soup. She got the ice tea and I got the hot fruit tea. Our dessert was the Oreo tiramisu which seemed to be made with a cashew cream as a replacement for the mascarpone. I was not a fan of the vegan cheese on the fries or on the pizza. It tasted more like butter than cheese. It would be better with a cashew cheese sauce. Also, the gnocchi wasn't the right texture. Other than those minor details, the overall meal was fantastic. I must say that it was not budget friendly at over 1500 ntd but the quality was...

A cozy vegan restaurant with an inviting interior located in a quieter side road. If you can, make a reservation to ensure you get a table as the restaurant is quite crowded on the weekend. The menu is pretty unique. The ingredients are fresh. Their burgers are not made with fake plant meat which is pretty hard to find in vegan restaurants in Taipei. The fries are hot and crunchy but not greasy. The flavor is sweet and savory which is quite different than the usual fries. It’s delicious. We have asparagus, mushroom, celery wrapped in tofu skin as one of our appetizers. Golden fries with sweet sauce and vegan cheese sprinkled on top as a second appetizer. We both order the Buddha bowl. This dish is served in a hot bowl. It is amazing with a few bites of crunchy rice on the bottom. The fried potato Croquette burger is served with potato wedges. The buns are soft. The entire burger is delectable and almost sinful. We order a lot of food and left with full bellies. Highly recommend this restaurant. We look forward to...
