Dan Ryan's

Originally established in Hong Kong and very popular among locals and expats alike, Dan Ryan's has been around in Taipei for many, many years. A restaurant expats would love, Ryan's is a favorite for homesick Americans or anyone into Americana. The interior is inspired by classic Chicago-style bars, but this is much more than a place to get a drink. The menu is chock-full of filling dishes like steaks, pastas, barbecue ribs and chicken, seafood, and decadent desserts.

Kids and salad lovers have their own lists to choose from. The menu warns that the portions are 'American-sized', meaning that it is generously more than what the locals could be used to. Ryan's has special events for holidays and even packages for parties seeking great food and service. If one goes to Ryan's be sure to go hungry.
