This summer, the highly anticipated “2025 Taiwan Food Festival” officially kicks off, with over 30 tourist hotels across Taiwan joining forces to celebrate the island’s culinary richness. Spanning the north, central, south, east, and offshore islands, the two-month flavor journey runs from August 1 to September 30. More than just a continuation of the festive spirit of the Taiwan Culinary Exhibition, this event is an industry-driven initiative that puts food at the heart of travel — a heartfelt invitation to explore Taiwan through its tastes.

Taiwan’s culinary culture is renowned for its diverse ingredients, creative techniques, and harmonious blend of local flavors. This food festival goes beyond the exhibition halls — it brings the island’s kitchens into the everyday lives and memories of travelers. From bustling alleyways to the moments before a shared meal, it offers an authentic and approachable taste of Taiwan.

Seafood on the Table, Terroir in Every Bite: A Summer-Only Feast of Taiwan’s Flavors

During the festival, participating hotel chefs draw inspiration from the season’s freshest seafood to craft exclusive dishes that celebrate the unique “here and now.” Featuring prized local catches such as giant grouper, ocean sunfish, baby squid from Penghu, flying fish roe, and mullet roe, each creation reflects the richness of Taiwan’s coastal bounty. Some dishes revisit nostalgic flavors, others showcase inventive flair — some are bold and intense, while others are light and comforting. Every plate is like a poem of the island’s flavors, each bite infused with the breath of its land and sea.
