When it’s too late for breakfast but too early for lunch, there’s only one option: brunch. And thankfully the beautiful coastal city of Hualien is full of amazing little restaurants where you can get your brunch on. But which ones are the best and where are they located? No need to stress. Here’s our list of the seven best brunch spots here in Hualien.

Farmers' Kitchen

Restaurant, Vegetarian, Asian

A vegan friendly breakfast and brunch spot with a little something on the menu to suits all tastes. From salads to pizza, burgers to burritos, this place has it all. It’s quite popular with locals and expats alike so you may have to wait for a seat during busy times. But there’s no doubt, it’s well worth the wait. Another great thing about this restaurant is the fact that all produce is either locally sourced or organic and super healthy.

A great option if you’re on the lookout for a place where you can bring the kids. The friendly staff are really welcoming and there’s plenty of easy options on the menu for children’s tastes.

An excellent (and fun) option for those that like their cheesy fries, Fun Space is a chic restaurant that does a great fried brunch. Onion rings with your fries? No problem.

035 Brunch

Restaurant, Taiwanese
