Cozy and bustling, this wood-lined hot pot haven in Taipei serves up delicious lamb-focused dishes in a lively atmosphere perfect for cooler nights.
"Lamb hotpot here differs from others thanks to its special soup base which is fragrant and nourishing – it’s made with shellfish, lamb bones, goji berries and ginger, plus mustard cabbage stems in winter or white radish in summer. Order an extra portion of sliced lamb belly or loin to be blanched in the soup. Lamb trotters braised in spiced marinade are also worth trying. Choose between the wood-clad dining room and al fresco seating." - Michelin Inspector
"Lin’s is the best place for dinner on a cool Taipei evening. The menu is strictly lamb — unlike its hot pot competitors, it is devoid of typical ingredients like fish balls or tofu. The point is to focus on the meat. The broth is a hodgepodge of herbs that includes goji berries. Bitter, leafy vegetables are recommended as supplements; opt for chrysanthemum greens when in season. The restaurant closes its doors in July, August, and September: It’s too hot and humid for lamb hot pot. [$$]" - Clarissa Wei
