Since 1997, the Michelin Guide has been awarding the Bib Gourmand, aimed at recognising a simpler style of cooking that’s easy to eat whilst also being affordable.
As of 2022, there are a total of 24 food stands found at 8 night markets in Taipei that have been recognised as delivering high quality snacks for a reasonable price.
Three of these night markets – Raohe, Linjiang Street and Nanjichang – have four Bib Gourmand food stands in each.
I’ve added a map for each night market below to help you find these, although the long queues extending from each is also a giveaway! It’s best to visit these soon after the night markets have opened to give yourself a good chance of avoiding the worst queues.
If you tap on the square symbol in the top-right corner of a map, it will add the locations of the food stands to Google Maps so you can find them more easily.
To find out more about each food stand I would recommend reading this article.
I’ve also included some stands that are either recommended by the Michelin Guide or by me personally – some of these are more child-friendly (but still delicious!).
