A Great Spot to Eat with Views of Taipei 101: Hooters Xinyi
Hooters Xinyi Branch with the view of Taipei 101
When you're exploring the Taipei 101 area and your stomach starts rumbling, Hooters Xinyi makes for a solid choice. You'll find it up on the 14th floor of Far Eastern Department Store A13, serving up American comfort food in a laid-back setting with direct views of the famous tower - especially if you snag a spot on their outdoor deck.
This was my first time checking out this particular Hooters, and honestly, it exceeded my expectations. The staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to help. What really stood out was how well they spoke English - no awkward translation moments or confused looks. Whether you're flying solo or hanging out with friends, the vibe feels just right.
The food hit the spot. I am really surprised! Portions were generous enough that sharing felt natural. They've got an impressive drink lineup too - American classics, European imports, and local Taiwanese beers. It's exactly what you'd hope for from this kind of place.
Outdoor Dining with the Best View in Town
Here's where this location really shines: the outdoor area gives you front-row seats to Taipei 101. Watching the sunset behind the tower or seeing the city light up at night from up there feels pretty special. Just heads up - they do allow smoking in the outdoor area, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to cigarette smoke.
