Fruitful Food (Chinese: 果然匯; Tongyong Pinyin: Guǒrán Huèi) is a Taiwanese vegetarian buffet restaurant brand established in 2013 and operated by the iBuffet Group (饗賓集團), a major food and beverage group in Taiwan. The brand focuses on plant-based cuisine and operates primarily in large urban commercial areas in northern Taiwan, including Taipei, New Taipei City, and Taoyuan City.

Fruitful Food is best known for its all-you-can-eat vegetarian buffet format, offering a wide selection of dishes prepared without meat or seafood. The menu typically includes hot dishes, salads, noodles, soups, desserts, and beverages, drawing on a range of culinary influences such as Taiwanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Western cuisines. Some dishes incorporate dairy and eggs, and the restaurant is generally classified as vegetarian rather than fully vegan.

The brand previously operated a flagship location at the Ming Yao Department Store in Taipei before the lease ended. In December 2024, Fruitful Food returned to the Taipei Main Station commercial district with the opening of a new outlet on the 13th floor of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Taipei Station Store.[1] The restaurant occupies approximately 860 m2 (9,300 sq ft) and provides seating for more than 300 diners.[2] The interior design emphasizes brightness and open circulation, with centrally arranged buffet counters intended to facilitate efficient movement.[3]

Fruitful Food has been cited by CNN in discussions of Taipei as a prominent destination for vegetarian dining.[4] The restaurant is sometimes referenced as an example of Taiwan's comparatively developed vegetarian food culture–approximately 13% of the popultation is vegetarian, which is influenced by religious traditions as well as contemporary dietary trends.

Menu offerings at Fruitful Food may vary by location, and some branches feature exclusive dishes developed specifically for that site. These can include seasonal vegetable-based noodles, tofu dishes, hot pots, and desserts. The buffet format allows diners to select items freely, and pricing is set by dining period, such as lunch, afternoon tea, or dinner, with higher rates typically applied on weekends and holidays.[5]

In September 2023, the Taipei City Government Department of Health announced that a routine inspection of fresh produce found pesticide residue exceeding regulatory limits in green beans sourced from Fruitful Food's Mingyao branch.[6] The product was ordered to be removed from sale, and the case was referred to the relevant health authority in the supplier's jurisdiction.[7][8]
