Indulge Experimental Bistro

Taipei

• The Best Bar in Taiwan 2022, sponsored by Mancino Vermouth

Aki Wang’s bar, which recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary, has an international feel but the details are an ode to Taiwan’s produce and heritage, but viewed through the lens of modern mixology. The cocktails, mixed by head bartender Stanly Yang and his crew, are theatrical and focus on the island’s tea-growing heritage, brimming with imagination yet never out of step with its location.

The latest menu pivots around the interaction of five elements – metal, wood, water, fire and earth – and mankind. There’s also a stellar food menu to complement the libations, so there’s never a reason to leave. Indulge’s consistency, allied to sharp-edged creativity, keeps the crowds coming back to this modernist bar that never forgets its roots, and which has maintained a top-ten position in every list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars since 2017, picking up the Legend of the List Award in 2020.
