Bellagio
Swish Bellagio serves up excellent Taiwanese cuisine late into the night. There are two equally popular branches in Běijīng, so it must be doing something right! Try the three-cup chicken (三杯鸡; sān bēijī) and save room for the range of delicious sweets. Picture menu. Near the corner of Donghai Xilu (parallel south to Xianggang Xilu) and Shandong Lu.

Bellagio
Don’t be fooled by the Italian name; Bellagio is a slick Taiwanese chain that has great coffee, baobing (shaved-ice) desserts and an extensive menu of Taiwanese classics, such as three-cup chicken. After midnight, it’s busy with the clubbers from the nearby dance dens.

Tai Pak
Diners who come here are being squashed on the narrow pedestrian walkway while waiting for a table, and they are being squashed when having to share the small tables with strangers. But they are not gluttons for punishment; they are simply food lovers who enjoy a good daam daam min (around HK$24) and drunken chicken (HK$48).

Home Sweet Home
It doesn’t look like much from the outside, and the interior is simple, but this friendly restaurant serves up some of the most authentic Taiwanese cuisine in town. The emphasis is on traditional Taiwanese dishes such as three cup chicken (Y38), which comes in a clay pot, spiced with garlic and basil, as well as deep-fried, pepper salt shrimp or frog (Y42) and ǒ-á-chian, an oyster omelette topped with a sweet sauce that’s the most popular snack in Taiwan. Nonsmoking throughout. English menu.

Bellagio
The large menu includes Taiwanese favourites such as three cup chicken (Y46) and spicy vermicelli with pork and mushrooms (Y32), as well as a wide range of vegetarian options. But the real reason to come here is for the wonderful puddings. The shaved–ice cream desserts are rightly renowned. Try the red beans with condensed milk on shaved ice (Y26) and the fresh mango cubes on shaved ice (Y34). The coffee is top-notch, too. English menu. There’s another branch on Gongrentiyuchang Xilu.

Fànqián Fànhòu
Taiwanese cuisine is influenced by Fújiàn and Hakka food, with dishes that are lighter and less spicy than most mainland ones. This hectic, large restaurant is one of a number of Taiwanese places that have opened in Běijīng recently. It specialises in home-style food, with some dishes named after Taiwanese pop stars, as well as staples such as stir-fried vermicelli (Y32), beef in cream sauce and spinach (Y36), and fine homemade tofu (which looks like mashed potato) and Taiwanese sausage. Make sure to try the luóhànsùlāo (Y38), a mix of fruit and vegetables in a cold, soup-like sauce.
