Tailoring each experience to your wishes by locals who love their city
A truly magnificent metropolis hosting a kaleidoscope of cultures, there are few cities in the world like Taipei. History has seen the city gather influences from Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asian, and western communities – and nowhere is this more evident than its diverse food scene. On food tours of Taipei with City Unscripted, you’ll join a local guide on a discovery of the fantastic flavors of Taiwan. From quaint neighborhoods and culinary hotspots to sprawling night markets that come alive at sunset, Taipei food tours can take you to many different places. But no matter where you end up, you can be sure you’ll find some of the best food you’ve ever tasted.
What does Taipei taste like? You’ll get the answer on unforgettable Taipei food tours with a local guide leading the way. You won’t have to doubt that you’re tasting the very best the city has to offer when you’re alongside a food-loving local who’s already vetted Taipei’s top eateries. From our “Eat like a local in Taipei” experience to a “Street food experience in Taipei’s night markets,” our range of food tours in Taipei give you an authentic snapshot of how a local does dinner, and it’s 100 percent unique to the city. Beef noodles, flame-torched sausages, and peppery pork buns await!
Taiwanese cuisine is what it is because of its history of global trade and colonialism. To experience the city’s culinary traditions on food tours of Taipei is simultaneously to get a lesson in the fascinating past – and the politics – of Taiwan. In fact, this is a city where food and culture go hand in hand. On food tours in Taipei, let your local guide teach you about their hometown’s history as you sample iconic dishes with stories behind them. The sugary-salty, herbal, and umami flavors that define Taiwanese cuisine wouldn’t exist without indigenous and international input.
Breakfast and lunch are always a treat, but after sunset is when the food scene really starts showing off. That’s because Taipei’s iconic night markets set up shop, attracting locals in droves. Taipei food tours would be incomplete without exploring one (or several) of these fantastic food spots scattered throughout the loud, lit-up city. On food tours of Taipei, you can navigate the chaotic lanes of food markets spilling out onto the streets. Follow the mouthwatering smells of local specialties wafting from hundreds of stalls, and see what a “midnight snack” should look like!

We had an unforgettable evening with Alice as our tour guide for the Raohe Night Market / street food tour. Alice was very personable and accommodating to our requests during the tour. It was a great way to learn about the food and culture of Taipei. The night market was lively with a variety of food options; we had scallion pancakes, pineapple cake, sweet potato balls, and other local delicacies. We look forward to returning to the city. Ask for Alice and you will have an awesome guide.
