Cat Cafes in Nantou County

Puli, Nantou County

Mong Du C (萌度C) is a cat cafe on the second floor of a building in the Mong Garden (水与松萌萌園) leisure park on Nancun Road in Puli Township, Nantou. You don't need a park ticket to visit the cafe. The room has a calm Japanese feel, with lots of natural wood and floor-to-ceiling windows. A group of resident cats, ragdolls among them, roams the room; staff introduce each cat's personality and where it came from. When the cafe is busy, especially at weekends, the cats may be kept in their own area to stop them slipping out, so weekdays offer the most contact. The minimum spend is NT$150 per person. The menu covers coffee with customisable latte art, including photo lattes printed with your own picture, plus Mont Blanc, mille-crêpe cakes, half-baked cheesecake, pudding and afternoon tea sets. It is a popular stop for families.

Yuchi, Nantou County

Zou Qi Lu Mao (走起擼貓, "let's go pet the cats") is a cat restaurant on Yuchi Street in Yuchi Township, Nantou, a short drive from Sun Moon Lake. Its spacious dining room is shared with a group of fluffy ragdoll cats who are the restaurant's main attraction. Some greet guests at the door and jump onto tables; others spend the afternoon asleep. The same owners also run cat-themed lodging. The menu offers American-style burgers, pasta, clam linguine, steak, coffee and tea at fair prices for a cat venue, and there is a modest per-person minimum spend. Large groups should book ahead through the restaurant's LINE account, since dishes are cooked to order and can take time. Customers' own pets are welcome if kept in a stroller or carrier. Holiday arrangements are announced on the Facebook page.
