Highlights

Why go
Shida feels like an “everyday Taipei” evening: less spectacle, more repeatable meals. It’s a great place to eat when you want something satisfying without the full crowd crush of the biggest markets.
If your trip is long enough for a second or third night out, this is an excellent pick.
How to do it
Treat it like a casual food mission. Pick one main bite, add one snack, finish with something sweet, then call it a night.
- Main bite → snack → dessert → tea/coffee
- Go earlier if you want easier seating
- Keep it local-feeling: repeat what you love
How to pair it
Shida pairs best with a relaxed daytime plan nearby—parks, museums, cafés—then a simple dinner loop here.
