Rank 11. Sushi An
Sushi
Birchwood panels and a counter that seats just a handful of guests frame the omakase sushi experience here, where the chef works through Edomae technique with a creative edge. Fish comes mostly from Tokyo's Toyosu Market, with fresh catches from Taiwan's northeastern coast filling in the rest. The kohada, balanced between chew, acidity, and sweet rice, makes a quiet case for the Michelin star on its own.

Rank 56. Circum-
Chinese
The name comes from the Latin for "around," a nod to how Chinese food travels and changes as it crosses borders. This fine dining room in the Regent Hotel follows that migration, tracing emigrant foodways through history and reassembling them with French technique. The dishes land somewhere between a childhood memory and a chef's thesis, which sounds more cerebral than it eats. It holds a Michelin star.

Taiwanese
Queues form early and don't thin out much at this Banqiao spot, a no-frills Taiwanese small-eats counter with nostalgic decor that reads less "curated" and more "has always looked this way." Braised pork rice and a clear spareribs-and-wax-gourd soup are the draws, the kind of quietly satisfying classics regulars order without glancing at the menu. Set menus let you mix and match sides, which keeps things moving at a pace the line outside will appreciate.

Rank 70. Silks House
Taipei
Cantonese fine dining on the third floor of the Regent Taipei, with a Michelin star and a spot on Asia's 50 Best list. The chef came up through Hong Kong's Lei Garden and built a career across the region, arriving here with a deep command of the classical repertoire. Roasted meats, double-boiled soups, wok-fried dishes, and dim sum all get the full treatment, with Taiwan's own produce quietly threaded through.

Rank 73. NOBUO
Japanese
A Japanese façade gives way to a Scandinavian-spare interior where the room itself signals what's coming: nothing extraneous. This two-Michelin-star tasting counter builds a single menu around seafood and seasonal local vegetables, with modern technique used to pull flavors forward rather than show off. The team walks you through each dish, which sounds fussy until it genuinely helps. Clean, quiet, and layered in ways that take a moment to catch up with you.

Rank 82. Lai Kang Shan
Chinese
The lamb soup here comes five ways, each cut slow-cooked with Chinese angelica until the amber broth runs clean and faintly sweet. This is an old-school Chinese soup shop that's been around forever and recently moved into a brighter two-storey space. The braised pork sauce, simmered low from pork skin and fat, goes over both the rice and the noodles, making the choice between them harder than it should be. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Tempura Japanese

Rank 85. A
Contemporary French
White walls, flower arrangements, and tasting menus that read like gallery notes: this two-Michelin-starred contemporary French restaurant inside a Taipei department store commits fully to the art-world vibe. The chef builds on classic French sauces with quiet Asian inflections, and the plating is the kind that makes people reach for their phones before their forks. A mushroom cappuccino course has its own name, which tells you something about the level of seriousness on offer.
-
Rank 86. Molino de Urdániz
Contemporary Spanish
A stone wall and a wine cellar anchor the room at this two-Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant inside Hotel MVSA, where a Spanish kitchen transplanted to Taipei works through seafood with modern technique and a painter's sense of color. The cooking takes its cues from Spanish landscapes, and the plating looks like it. Dress well and clear your evening.
-
Rank 87. Gino Pizza
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan-style gas oven sits on full display as you walk in, which sets expectations immediately at this casual pizza shop in Xinzhuang. The room is high-ceilinged and easygoing, with a small blue room tucked toward the back for when you want to pretend you're somewhere quieter. The menu covers white and red pizzas, Italian-style pastas, and desserts, with a short Italian beer list to wash it down. It ranked 45th on 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific.

Rank 94. Sushi Ryu
Sushi
Solid wood countertops imported from Canada anchor a room that reads as quietly, deliberately Japanese. This is an omakase-only sushi counter, the kind where the chef controls the entire arc of the meal. Fish comes in from Japan three times a week, and the rice is seasoned with three different vinegars, which sounds fussy until you taste it. The place holds a Michelin star.

Rank 95. Unnamed Clay Oven Roll
Chinese

Rank 97. Ming Fu
Taiwanese
Home-style Taiwanese cooking served in the kind of generous portions that assume you brought people. Ming Fu holds a Michelin star, which surprises no one who has had the stuffed chicken, a whole free-range bird filled with glutinous rice, red dates, and goji berries, then simmered for the better part of a day into a golden, deeply umami broth. The menu also reaches for ingredients like mullet tripe and fresh fish maw that most restaurants don't bother with.
-
Rank 98. Wang's Broth
Chinese
The scent of braised pork hits you before you find the stall number. What started as a night market cart has been around forever and grown into a proper sit-down spot in Huaxi Street, bright and clean inside. The draw is braised pork rice, the sauce glossy and dark, sweet-savory and sticky in the best sense. Stewed cabbage cuts through it neatly. The Michelin Bib Gourmand crowd knows what they're doing ordering nothing else.
-
Rank 99. Mume
Contemporary Taiwanese
Fresh herbs and edible flowers land on every plate at this Michelin-starred contemporary European restaurant, which makes the moody, faux-industrial dining room feel like a pleasant joke the kitchen is playing on itself. Seasonal Taiwanese ingredients fold into European technique, and the seafood in particular shows a confident hand with seasoning. Da'an regulars who have stopped reading the menu are probably onto something.
