Weekend Slow Travel in Tai O: A Food Map with Stunning Sea View Restaurants

Last weekend, I visited Tai O to enjoy the relaxing sea views while exploring unique local delicacies. At Tai O Lookout, located on the first floor of Tai O Heritage Hotel, both the scenery and the food offered a double treat, perfect for unwinding or capturing Instagram-worthy moments 😊

Ambiance: The restaurant is filled with natural light, with seating that overlooks a vast sea view. Not only is the air fresh, but the nostalgic vibe adds to the charm. The interior features wooden shutters, blending a vintage aesthetic with comfort. Enjoying delicious food while admiring the view is truly therapeutic.

Food Recommendations
🌟 Fish and Chips with Tai O Shrimp Paste Tartar Sauce: Crispy on the outside, tender fish inside, and piping hot fries. The shrimp paste tartar sauce is uniquely savory and pairs perfectly with a cold beer 🍻

🌟 Tai O Shrimp Roe Wonton Noodles: The noodles are chewy, and both the shrimp roe and wontons are bursting with fresh flavors 🤤

🌟 Creamy Prawn Pasta: Rich and creamy sauce with the freshness of prawns, not overly heavy, and generously portioned.

Review
The fish and chips with shrimp paste tartar sauce is a must-try. The fried items are not greasy, and the shrimp paste flavor stands out without overpowering the dish. After the meal, take a stroll around the stilt houses and soak in the slow-paced lifestyle of Tai O—you’ll find yourself wanting to return.

Tips 💁🏻♀️
If you want the best seats with a full sea view, it’s recommended to book in advance. Weekends can be crowded, so arriving early allows you to leisurely enjoy afternoon tea. Since Tai O is a bit remote, make sure to allocate extra time to explore and relax at your own pace.
