Dining in Kaohsiung is an opportunity to enjoy both great local dishes and high-quality international offerings. Being a major trading port, it should be no surprise that so many national cuisines are represented around the city, including Italian, Greek, Mexican, Indian and plenty of others.

The coastal location also makes the Kaohsiung dining scene a seafood-centric one. The shores of Cijin Island and the banks of the Love River are lined with excellent cafés and restaurants serving the fruits of the sea in great-tasting local preparations, generally at great prices. You should also be sure to check out the night markets if you’re looking for a real taste of Taiwan.
