We spent three nights in Kenting, Taiwan to experience the beaches and get some sunshine before going home to Canada. During that time, we had amazing food. Keep reading to learn our recommendations for places to eat in Kenting.
*Note that the places I listed mostly only have Chinese names, but it’s very easy to copy and paste the characters into Google maps. I travelled as a Mandarin-speaker with my cousins who can all read and write Chinese. Kenting is somewhat touristy, but I still recommend downloading a language app if you don’t speak Mandarin and being ready to use it.

四方食事麵食館 (Beef noodles)
This small noodle shop had delicious and very affordable dishes. They specialize in beef noodles and most dishes feature innards/intestines, which is very common in Taiwan. I loved their spicy beef noodles and would definitely be a regular if I lived here!

陳Q黑砂糖剉冰 – 恒春福德店 (Shaved ice)
Trying traditional Taiwanese shaved ice is a must when visiting Taiwan! We loved the freshly shaved ice and there were lots of different toppings to choose from. After spending a full day in the sun, we wanted something cold to cool down. I got my shaved ice without condensed milk, but it was still super yummy.

山下人家
This quick service restaurant was about a 20-minute drive from our hotel, but well worth the visit! My boyfriend remarked that this was one of his favourite meals of our entire trip in Taiwan. Some highlights included the chayote, prawns and fresh sashimi. Reservations are recommended.
