JB's Diner

I have always been a huge brunch fan. Pancakes, eggs benedict or omlette, you name it and I'll guarantee I can have it any time of the day. I live in Tianmu so when I first heard about JB's brunch menu I was all in for trying it out.

JB's is an American diner located on Tianmu East road, just behind Wovie (previously known as Miramar) Cinemas. My friends and I decided to go Christmas caroling at the old age home in Tianmu and thought brunch at JB"s would be the perfect place to go to prior to that.





With diners quickly gaining popularity in Taipei, JB's has made a good name for itself in Tianmu. We got there at 12.30pm on a Sunday and had to wait for 30 minutes so I definitely suggest making a reservation if you plan on going during peak times or the weekend.





Their menu ranges from pancakes, omelettes, pasta to burgers - so there is something for everyone. Portions at JB's are great for the price you pay so make sure you have plenty of tummy space available, you won't leave hungry!

Most of us went for breakfast and were able to choose a side of hash browns, home style fried potatoes or fruit salad. With an extra NT$30 we were able to add a beverage of our choice (excluding alcoholic beverages).

For all meat lovers out there, this one is for you. Aptly named Meat Lover's Omelette (NT$290), it is an omelette stuffed with sausages, ham, bacon, onion and cheese.

If you're feeling a little adventurous, the Tex Mex omelette (NT$320) comes with black beans, onion, peppers, jalapenos, Jack cheese and a dollop of chunky salsa.

For a more traditional option, there is also fried egg  served on English muffins.

If you don't see any omelette options that stand out, fear not - you can also create your own omelette starting at NT$120. Fillings range from NT$30 to NT$60 and include: feta, tomatoes, avocado, black beans, spinach, etc.

Continuing on the breakfast and egg bandwagon, JB's also has great Eggs Benedict options. You can choose what fillings you want and get a side of your choice.

I went for the Smoke Salmon & Spinach (NT$330) and my friend went for the Crab & Avocado (NT$340). You get two poached eggs on two English muffins topped with a generous amount of Hollindaise sauce plus a side of your choice.

If you've got an early sweet tooth coming on, JB's range of pancakes will hit the spot. From banana and chocolate chips, cinnamon apple, oreo, and blueberry pancakes - you won't be left short of options!

Other than brunch, JB is also great for American style main courses.

For all vegetarian burger lovers out there, JB's has some delicious burger options. This is Mimi's Mexican Meatless Burger (NT$280). With a homemade style bean patty, topped with some guacamole, salsa and tortilla chips, this burger is packed with flavor - and the tortilla chips add a great crunch.

Last, but not least this is a classic Grilled Chicken Sandwich (NT$260) with grilled chicken, Monterrey jack cheese and honey mustard. 

For a decent price, you get great quality American style food at JB's. Be it breakfast or main courses, you won't be left disappointed.
