The Top 100 Restaurants Near Ching Jiao

  1. Rank 1. 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.




  2. Rank 4. Le Palais

    Cantonese



  3. 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.


  4. Rank 7. 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.


  5. Rank 8. 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.




  6. Rank 11. Wok by O'BOND

    Modern French Taiwanese

    A small window at the entrance lets you watch the wok station before you're inside, surrounded by dark green velvet and red walls. This Michelin-starred modern French Taiwanese tasting menu restaurant takes Taiwanese and Asian flavors apart and rebuilds them with French technique, with at least one dish carrying proper wok hei. Taiwanese teas and herb-infused cocktails round out a menu that changes every season.



  7. Rank 13. Serenity (Zhongzheng)

    Vegetarian Sichuan




  8. Rank 16. Mudan

    Tempura Japanese


  9. Rank 17. The Dragon

    Cantonese



  10. Rank 19. 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.


  11. Rank 20. Wamaki

    Japanese


  12. Rank 21. Uosho

    Japanese


  13. Rank 22. 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.


  14. Rank 23. Eika

    Contemporary Japanese


  15. Rank 24. Brisé

    Contemporary French

    An open kitchen in a sleek modern room, where contemporary French cooking quietly folds Asian ingredients into the kind of seasonal menu that changes every few months and makes last season feel like a different restaurant. The chef's touch is restrained on the plate but precise underneath, and the weekday lunch set is a sensible way in. Tucked down a lane in Zhongshan, it's a Michelin Guide selection that rewards a little effort to find.


  16. Rank 25. Yu Yu 1969

    Taiwanese


  17. Rank 26. JUNTO

    Cantonese


  18. Rank 27. Aleisha

    Mediterranean




  19. Rank 30. fumée

    Yakitori Japanese


  20. Rank 31. INITA

    Contemporary Italian

    A one-Michelin-star tasting menu tucked into a Songshan alley, where the name bundles Italy, Japan, and Taiwan into a single word and the kitchen delivers on all three. Expect ten-plus courses built on Italian technique, Japanese sensibility, and local ingredients, with the chef rolling pasta dough tableside before the final savory course. It's a serious, quiet room where the food does the talking.



  21. Rank 33. Mizue

    Japanese




  22. Rank 36. Xiang Se

    European Contemporary Taiwanese


  23. Rank 37. de nuit

    Contemporary French

  28. Rank 43. ZEA

    Taiwanese



  29. Rank 45. SENS

    Contemporary French



  30. Rank 47. Taïrroir

    Contemporary Taiwanese

    A copper-ceiling meant to suggest Taiwan's hill country sets the tone before you've seen the menu, which at Taïrroir names its dishes to rhyme with local idioms. The chef spent two decades across Taiwanese and French kitchens, and the tasting menu puts those two traditions in genuine conversation, built around seasonal Taiwanese produce. It holds three Michelin stars, and the service matches that without feeling starched.



  31. Rank 49. Jen Ho Yuan

    Yunnan Chinese



  32. Rank 51. Yu Kapo

    Japanese


  33. Tucked into a Neihu alleyway, this two-Michelin-star contemporary Asian restaurant draws a straight line between Taipei and Tokyo: chef Ryogo Tahara trained under Hiroyasu Kawate at Florilège before bringing that same exacting sensibility here. The menu leans into Taiwanese ingredients while pulling techniques from across the continent, landing at No. 22 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants. Dishes arrive with the quiet confidence of people who have nothing left to prove.





  34. Rank 56. Komboi

    Modern Taiwanese





  35. Rank 60. 3927

    Modern Taiwanese




  36. Rank 63. Mipon

    Taiwanese

  43. Rank 80. Soft Power

    Taiwanese


  44. Rank 81. Pàng

    Taiwanese Mexican


  45. Rank 82. ÉCRU

    Japanese-influenced French




  46. A Japanese chef running a contemporary French kitchen on the second floor of a Taipei hotel sounds like a setup, but the seasonally shifting millefeuille and seafood-forward menus built around local teas and spices make a quiet case for the combination. The room is understated to the point of calm, and both wine and tea sommeliers are on hand, which does rather raise the bar for your next dinner party.



  47. Rank 87. EMBERS

    Taiwanese




  48. 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.


  49. Rank 91. Jin Shang Hsuan

    Taiwanese Chinese


  50. Rank 92. Lin Ju

    Cantonese






  51. Rank 97. Rong Ju

    Cantonese

    Faux red brick overhead gives the dining room the feel of a modern Chinese home, warm without being heavy. This is a Cantonese set-menu restaurant inside the Capella hotel, where the kitchen layers contemporary touches onto the classics, truffle finding its way into the dim sum, sakura ebi into the stir-fried cabbage. The tea selection is curated to pair with the meal, which is the kind of detail that separates a thoughtful kitchen from a merely competent one.


  52. Rank 98. SÒNG JHAO

    Taiwanese



  53. Rank 100. Clavius

    Vegetarian Taiwanese
