The Top 100 Restaurants Near Din Tai Fung (Xinyi Road)



  1. Rank 3. 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. 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.


  3. Rank 5. Mudan

    Tempura Japanese



  4. Rank 7. 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.


  5. Rank 8. 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.


  6. Rank 9. 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.


  7. Rank 10. de nuit

    Contemporary French





  8. Rank 14. Le Palais

    Cantonese


  9. Rank 15. Kiku

    Japanese




  10. 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.


  11. Rank 19. Hosu

    Contemporary Taiwanese



  12. Rank 21. Serenity (Zhongzheng)

    Vegetarian Sichuan


  13. Rank 22. ZEA

    Taiwanese




  14. Rank 25. Motoichi

    Tempura Japanese


  15. Rank 26. 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.



  16. Rank 28. Aleisha

    Mediterranean





  17. Rank 32. The Dragon

    Cantonese


  18. Rank 33. Komboi

    Modern Taiwanese


  19. Rank 34. Wamaki

    Japanese


  20. Rank 35. Mizue

    Japanese


  21. Rank 36. Gi Yuan

    Sichuan


  22. Rank 37. Yu Yu 1969

    Taiwanese


  23. Rank 38. Pàng

    Taiwanese Mexican


  24. Rank 39. Xiang Se

    European Contemporary Taiwanese



  25. Rank 41. 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.


  26. Rank 42. Dasuke

    Contemporary Japanese

    Counter seating, dimmed lighting, and a sake list deep enough to require tasting notes set the tone at this intimate omakase spot in Da'an. The kitchen draws on Niigata flavors and locally sourced ingredients, and the menu lands somewhere between Japanese tradition and something harder to categorize, including a deep-fried patty of beef and sashimi served in a house bun, which is either an act of genius or a dare, possibly both.


  27. Rank 43. EMBERS

    Taiwanese


  28. Rank 44. 3927

    Modern Taiwanese


  29. Rank 45. Eika

    Contemporary Japanese


  30. Rank 46. Ya Ge

    Cantonese





  31. Rank 50. Yu Kapo

    Japanese


  32. Rank 51. 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.


  33. Rank 52. SENS

    Contemporary French


  34. 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.


  35. Rank 54. Sansan Bistro

    Neo Sichuan


  36. Rank 55. 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.





  37. Rank 59. Uosho

    Japanese






  38. Rank 64. Ephernité

    Contemporary French


  39. Rank 65. ÉCRU

    Japanese-influenced French

    Contemporary Italian

    Taiwanese


  49. Rank 80. fumée

    Yakitori Japanese





  50. Rank 84. Jin Shang Hsuan

    Taiwanese Chinese



  51. Rank 86. Yi Jia Zi

    Tainan Chinese


  52. Rank 87. Jen Ho Yuan

    Yunnan Chinese


  53. Rank 88. Soft Power

    Taiwanese




  54. 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.





  55. Rank 95. PEI FULL

    Zhejiang



  56. Rank 97. Clavius

    Vegetarian Taiwanese


  57. Rank 98. Lin Ju

    Cantonese


  58. Rank 99. Open Smile

    Taiwanese

    Braised pork is the whole argument here, slow-cooked until it hits that sweet spot between tender and giving, served over rice or noodles at a bright little Taiwanese spot that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The menu wanders into scallion chicken and Sichuan peppercorn oil for variety, and a house chilli sauce is there when you want more heat. It's casual, cheerful, and the kind of lunch that makes the afternoon feel manageable.
