【台中 田寮農莊】Tian Liao Farm House in Taichung
Located in the middle of Taichung's serene rice plantations, Tian Liao Farm House became an unexpected gem during a spontaneous October outing with my partner and our friends.
Our journey to this hidden gem began with an Uber ride to what seemed like the middle of nowhere and away from the city of Taichung. When we arrived at our destination, we were surrounded by beautiful rice plantations, which made this dining experience extraordinary.
We were SUPER lucky to get a table without a reservation because we arrived at 11:57 AM on a Sunday. Within just 10 minutes of sitting down, the restaurant was filled with people.
In this guide, I’ll discuss what dining at Tian Liao Farm House is like, what makes it unique, some recommended dishes, and share a few helpful tips along the way!
The Vibe
As we walked through the front entrance of Tian Liao Farm House, it felt more like a cozy farmhouse than just a regular dining spot. There was vintage farm machinery was placed along the walkway at the entrance leading to the dining area, blending rustic nostalgia with modern culinary flair.
The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating.
Advance reservations are required for indoor seating.
Since we hadn't made any reservations and walked in, we were seated at outdoor tables, which actually enhanced our dining experience even though it was so hot.
The open-air setting not only provided a view of the lotus pond with fishies swimming in it, but it also allowed us to appreciate the surrounding nature and the rural atmosphere of Tian Liao Farm House.
Sit outdoors to experience the rural setting and admire the view of the lotus pond — it's absolutely serene. Tian Liao Farm House also provides mosquito spray if you need it.

The menu has a lot of meat-based options, but it also includes a few choices for vegetarians and vegans. We couldn't stop eating because the food was absolutely delicious.
Our dining experience was amazing. From savory dishes to semi-sweet treats, every bite showcased the chef's skill. I wish I had written down what we ordered, which I usually do, but I took close-up pictures of the dishes that stood out to me!
