Mia Cucina

For vegetarians who tire of toast or plain pasta passing as 'the vegetarian option', Mia Cucina makes eating vegetarian not only palatable but enjoyable. Mia Cucina has flatbreads, wholesome salads, paninis and pastas on the menu - and sharing in mind. All of the ingredients are vegetarian and many of the option are vegan (hallelujah!) too. This trendy little industrial space also offers up some fun combinations. The cowboy salad successfully marries grilled corn, beans, jalapeno, peppers and salad; while the strawberry and pecan salad is big enough for left-overs, but perhaps too tasty to make it that far. Mia Cucina's dishes cost $300-$400 on average, but are great to get to share, along with a delicious range of fruity smoothies.  For the very hungry the set meal come in at great value, including soup, salad, panini or pasta, organic tea and a dessert! Mia Cucina is a great antidote for the hungry but healthy. Good service and good-for-you food, this vegetarian restaurant is in Tianmu, Taipei, nearby Zhishan station.
