LUMI de MAISON (柔光與貓) is a cat cafe and cat hotel in a 50-year-old house on Shengli Street in Yongkang District, Tainan, licensed as an animal exhibition venue. The owners spent a year restoring the building before opening in early 2026. On the ground floor, the dining room is kept separate from two cat rooms, which are linked by a transparent overhead tunnel the cats use to cross the shop. Guests can watch through large windows and enter the cat rooms to stroke and play with the cats when they are opened for visits, using the wand toys provided. Hands are sanitised before entry. The minimum spend is NT$200 per person, with no time limit on weekdays. The menu offers espresso drinks, local teas, croissant sandwiches and desserts such as tiramisu. A backyard has extra seating and a small play area for children.

The menu runs from freshly baked waffles with banana, chocolate or ice cream to savoury dishes such as Thai basil pork, green curry and chicken wings. Prices are on the high side and there is a minimum spend. Visits are by reservation only, through the restaurant's official LINE account or by phone.

Mao Yan Mao Yu (貓言貓語) is a quiet cafe in a restored old house in North District, Tainan, a short walk from Tainan railway station. It is hidden in a narrow alley; the easiest way in is from Beimen Road, turning in at Fulong Temple. The house keeps its vintage character, with a small courtyard open to the sky, and two resident cats, an orange tabby and a tuxedo, wander between the tables, greet arriving guests and nap in the sun. The menu covers brunch dishes such as chicken leg steak and rice bowls, waffles, cakes and seasonal shaved ice, including a popular mango milk ice in summer. It is a relaxed, unhurried place to sit with a dessert and the cats rather than a busy cat lounge.

Dou Zai Man Shi Jian (都在漫食間) is a cat-themed brunch restaurant on Linsen Road in East District, Tainan, where four resident cats share the dining room with guests. The cats are calm and gentle, lounging by the windows, under chairs and sometimes on the tables. Some will accept a stroke, while others prefer to watch, so guests should let them choose. The kitchen serves brunch platters, pan-fried chicken leg, slow-cooked curry rice, pasta with clams and other Italian-style dishes, desserts such as crème brûlée, and coffee and lattes. Tables can be booked online, which is a good idea at weekends, and a dining time limit applies when the restaurant is busy. Parents should supervise children around the cats.

Bo Ji (波吉) is a small, pet-friendly brunch restaurant on Linsen Road in East District, Tainan, best known for its resident animals: three to four friendly cats and a Chihuahua who keep diners company inside. The cats are well cared for and happy to be stroked. The animals have set working days, and the shop posts on Instagram which of its little managers are on duty. The entrance faces the main road, not the lane behind. Seating is limited, so it is worth calling ahead to book, especially if you want an indoor table near the cats. The menu is good value: signature brunch platters, French toast with honey, pan-fried chicken leg steak, sous-vide meats, bagels, bacon and German sausage, with coffee and tea.
