The Top 100 Restaurants Near Mountain and Sea House


  1. Rank 2. 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 3. 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. 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.


  4. Rank 6. Mudan

    Tempura Japanese


  5. Rank 7. 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 8. Le Palais

    Cantonese



  7. 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.


  8. Rank 11. 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.








  9. Rank 18. de nuit

    Contemporary French


  10. Rank 19. Serenity (Zhongzheng)

    Vegetarian Sichuan




  11. Rank 22. 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.


  12. Rank 23. Hosu

    Contemporary Taiwanese


  13. Rank 24. Kiku

    Japanese


  14. Rank 25. Aleisha

    Mediterranean


  15. Rank 26. Yu Yu 1969

    Taiwanese


  16. Rank 27. Wamaki

    Japanese


  17. Rank 28. Motoichi

    Tempura Japanese


  18. Rank 29. The Dragon

    Cantonese


  19. Rank 30. ZEA

    Taiwanese



  20. Rank 32. Mizue

    Japanese


  21. Rank 33. 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.




  22. Rank 36. Uosho

    Japanese


  23. Rank 37. Komboi

    Modern Taiwanese




  24. Rank 40. Ya Ge

    Cantonese



  25. Rank 42. 3927

    Modern Taiwanese


  26. Rank 43. Gi Yuan

    Sichuan


  27. Rank 44. Eika

    Contemporary Japanese


  28. Rank 45. Xiang Se

    European Contemporary Taiwanese


  29. Rank 46. 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.



  30. Rank 48. SENS

    Contemporary French



  31. Rank 50. JUNTO

    Cantonese




  32. Rank 53. 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 54. fumée

    Yakitori Japanese


  34. Rank 55. Yu Kapo

    Japanese



  35. Rank 57. Pàng

    Taiwanese Mexican


  36. 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.



  37. Rank 60. EMBERS

    Taiwanese




  38. Rank 63. ÉCRU

    Japanese-influenced French




  39. Rank 66. Mipon

    Taiwanese


  40. Rank 67. aMaze

    Creative Zhejiang


  41. Rank 68. 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.




  42. Rank 71. Ban Bo

    contemporary Taiwanese


  43. Rank 72. FRASSI

    Contemporary Italian


  44. Rank 73. KUR

    Contemporary Japanese


  45. Rank 74. Yuu

    Japanese




  46. Rank 77. Sansan Bistro

    Neo Sichuan


  47. Rank 78. Jen Ho Yuan

    Yunnan Chinese




  48. Rank 81. Lin

  49. Rank 82. Ephernité

  51. Rank 84. Jin Shang Hsuan

    Taiwanese Chinese






  52. Rank 89. Yi Jia Zi

    Tainan Chinese


  53. Rank 90. Soft Power

    Taiwanese


  54. Rank 91. 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.


  55. Rank 92. SÒNG JHAO

    Taiwanese



  56. Rank 94. Cheng Jia

    Taiwanese







  57. Rank 100. Clavius

    Vegetarian Taiwanese
