  1. Rank 1. Le Yeh

    Taiwanese


  2. Rank 2. Chi Yuan

    Taiwanese


  3. Rank 3. Lao Hsu

    Taiwanese





  4. 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.








  5. Rank 14. Mudan

    Tempura Japanese


  6. Rank 15. Kiku

    Japanese


  7. Rank 16. de nuit

    Contemporary French


  8. Rank 17. ZEA

    Taiwanese


  9. Rank 18. Hosu

    Contemporary Taiwanese



  10. Rank 20. 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 21. Motoichi

    Tempura Japanese


  12. Rank 22. Yu Kapo

    Japanese


  13. Rank 23. 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.


  14. Rank 24. 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.



  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. 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.


  17. Rank 31. Mizue

    Japanese


  18. Rank 32. 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.




  19. Rank 35. 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.


  20. Rank 36. 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.






  21. Rank 41. Pàng

    Taiwanese Mexican


  22. Rank 42. Ya Ge

    Cantonese



  23. Rank 44. Le Palais

    Cantonese




  24. Rank 47. 85TD

    Modern Cantonese


  25. 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.


  26. Rank 49. SÒNG JHAO

    Taiwanese


  27. Rank 50. Ephernité

    Contemporary French



  28. Rank 52. SENS

    Contemporary French


  29. Rank 53. Sansan Bistro

    Neo Sichuan


  30. Rank 54. 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.





  31. Rank 58. Clover

    Contemporary French

    Jean-François Piège's first restaurant outside France sits inside a luxury department store, which sounds like a punchline until the food arrives. This contemporary French tasting room runs seasonal menus that pull hits from Piège's Paris restaurants and fold in local Taiwanese ingredients along the way. The wild raspberry soufflé with pistachio ice cream has its own reputation. Dress up; Bellavita is that kind of building.






  32. Rank 63. 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 66. Lin

    Contemporary French


  34. Rank 67. KUR

    Contemporary Japanese






  35. Rank 72. EMBERS

    Taiwanese




  36. Rank 75. Gi Yuan

    Sichuan




  37. Rank 78. Yuu

    Japanese


  38. Rank 79. PEI FULL

    Zhejiang








  39. Rank 86. Komboi

    Modern Taiwanese


  40. Rank 87. Ban Bo

    contemporary Taiwanese


  41. Rank 88. Jin Shang Hsuan

    Taiwanese Chinese


  42. Warm wood, minimal fuss, and a single-minded dedication to Japanese curry: this small Songshan dining spot holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and earns it by keeping the menu short and the dashi-based curry deeply savory. You pick from three toppings, fried chicken, a Scotch egg with a properly runny yolk, or kadaif-wrapped shrimp, and the kitchen rounds things out with seasonal vegetables. Matcha panna cotta closes the meal quietly and well.


  43. Rank 90. Eika

    Contemporary Japanese


  44. Rank 91. ÉCRU

    Japanese-influenced French


  45. Rank 92. Yu Yu 1969

    Taiwanese


  46. Rank 93. 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.


  47. Rank 94. 3927

    Modern Taiwanese


  48. Rank 95. FRASSI

    Contemporary Italian


  49. Rank 96. Mipon

    Taiwanese



  50. Rank 98. Huí Huí

    Asian-influenced French
