While traditionally a nation of tea drinkers, in recent years the Taiwanese have really embraced the cafe culture, and all the usual chains can be found here in abundance. For cafes with more character, however, roam the back streets near National Taiwan University (between Xinsheng South Road and Roosevelt Road), and also in the Ren'ai Road, section 4 - Dunhua South Road area. Also, Bitan River in Xindian has a wide range of cafes, all with restful views over the river and mountains beyond. Exploring the vast Tea culture the city has to offer, for those who prefer something more traditional, Wisteria Tea House at 16, Xinsheng South Road, sec. 3 (near the corner of Heping East Road, sec 1) is a must. Wisteria is set in a traditional house, complete with tatami mats, and is a great place to spend an afternoon relaxing with friends and soaking up the atmosphere of Taiwan.
