Wild Garden Café

「A modern-style cafe serving innovative tribal goodies」

In the bright lit space of this modern café with French windows, you can savor different tribal food, including pumpkin soup with flying fish, a signature dish giving off pleasant smoky fragrance. Welcome to Wild Garden Café, where the owners Rita and JD share the culinary delight of tribal food culture in Taitung. The couple opened this café after leaving their jobs in-depth tourism industry and they are fastidious about their selection of food ingredients in regards to the “stories” of tribal culture they tell. For example, smoked flying fish is an important symbol of traditional wisdom of food preservation in the Amis tribe and Tao tribe on Orchid Island. Its appetizing aroma is a distinctive feature of local tribal food culture in Taitung. The café also serves bubbling tea of kombucha grown and fermented by a small farmer, which has a rich fragrance and refreshing flavor. By offering drinks made with local produce, JD is eager to share agricultural products of his friends in Luye who have lovingly tended their farm. When you visit the Wild Garden Cafe, take your time to know the stories behind the food and drinks and enjoy the culinary pleasure they provide!
