Little Tree Food (Chinese: 小小樹食) is a Taiwanese vegetarian restaurant brand founded in 2017. The brand specializes in plant-based cuisine that combines Western and Asian culinary influences. Founded in Taipei, the restaurant has gained recognition for promoting flexible vegetarian eating habits and for its emphasis on sustainability in food service.[2]
The restaurant's menu focuses on vegetable-based dishes prepared without animal meat, by using plant-based substitutes.[3] Seasonal and location-specific dishes are periodically introduced, particularly in collaboration with cultural venues such as museums.[4]
In 2022, Little Tree Food received the Michelin Green Star and Bib Gourmand Awards.[5]
As of December 2025, Little Tree Food has 7 locations across Taiwan, with 6 stores in Taipei and 1 in Taichung.[6]
The brand was founded by Jeffrey Liu (劉千瑞), who previously worked in finance before entering the food and beverage industry and is not a vegetarian himself. In addition to Little Tree Food, Liu has been involved in the development of other plant-based dining concepts in Taiwan. His approach emphasizes making vegetarian food accessible to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, reflecting a broader trend in Taiwan toward flexitarian diets that reduce, rather than eliminate, meat consumption.[7]
Little Tree Food is often cited in Taiwanese media as an example of the growing diversification of vegetarian dining in Taiwan, where plant-based restaurants increasingly target a general audience rather than exclusively serving religious or strictly vegetarian communities.[8]
Little Tree Food has also collaborated with China Airlines on in-flight vegetarian meals. Announced in October 2025, the partnership introduced lacto-ovo vegetarian dishes designed by Little Tree Food for China Airlines' international services departing from Taoyuan International Airport.[9] The collaboration covers Western-style breakfasts on long-haul routes to destinations in North America, Europe, and Oceania, as well as Western lacto-ovo vegetarian special meals on all outbound routes.[10][11]
