Le Lakeshore Cafe 

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Taipei’s Neihu District, Le Lakeshore Café is a beautiful little escape from the city buzz—a place where minimalist European charm meets comforting, home-style flavors. With its bright white interiors, leafy green touches, and big sunny windows, this café has become a favorite among those looking for a peaceful brunch, a cozy coffee break, or a relaxed meal with friends. It’s the kind of space that invites you to slow down, take a deep breath, and really savor the moment.

One of the things that makes Le Lakeshore stand out is its dog-friendly policy—a rare treat in Taipei, especially for those of us who love dining out with our furry companions. While dogs are very welcome, it’s worth noting that only two tablesare designated for customers with pets, so making a reservation in advance is highly recommended. These dog-friendly spots are in high demand, especially on weekends, and they fill up fast!

The café’s menu reflects its laid-back, quality-over-quantity philosophy. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty brunch, a rich red wine beef stew, or just a beautifully presented slice of cake with your latte, the food here consistently hits the mark. Each dish is prepared with care, and the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully paired. It’s the kind of café where even a simple sandwich or salad feels like something special.

Le Lakeshore isn’t just about food though—it’s about the experience. The atmosphere is calm but lively, perfect for catching up with a friend or enjoying a solo moment with a book. On sunny days, the natural light pours in through the windows, casting a gentle glow over everything and making the space feel even more inviting.

Whether you’re a local looking for a new weekend favorite, or a visitor hoping to explore Taipei’s café culture beyond the usual tourist spots, Le Lakeshore is absolutely worth a stop. And if your dog’s joining you? Be sure to call ahead—those two coveted dog-friendly tables are a little slice of heaven for pups and their humans alike.

But for dog lovers its location is perfection it is right on the doorstep Dàgōuxi Waterfront  Park and Dahu Park, really nice walking spots for dogs and their human.
