Salt Peanuts

Taipei


Salt Peanuts offers inventive brunch sets with delicately dressed salads, homemade bread and chunky vegetable quiches, as well as some of the best desserts in the city; we recommend the yoghurt cheesecake. The inner courtyard garden is a real treat with lush trees and ferns and tiled flooring. You won't want to take food photos, you'll be more interested in your surroundings.

If you want more substantial food in the same location, head to Peacock Bistro (until 10.30pm) on the other side of the courtyard.
