The Top 100 Restaurants Near Wonderful Baba Bak Kut Teh King Of King




  1. Rank 4. JIA YEN

    Zhejiang


  2. Rank 5. Hai Shan

    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.


  3. Rank 6. Shou Wu

    Hakkanese


  4. Rank 7. Le Palais

    Cantonese



  5. 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.


  6. Rank 10. Eika

    Contemporary Japanese


  7. Rank 11. 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.



  8. Rank 13. 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.





  9. Rank 17. 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.


  10. Rank 18. 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.


  11. Rank 19. 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.


  12. Rank 20. Mudan

    Tempura Japanese



  13. Rank 22. Jhen Pin

    Taiwanese


  14. Rank 23. 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.



  15. Rank 25. 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.


  16. 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.


  17. Rank 27. Mizue

    Japanese



  18. Rank 29. de nuit

    Contemporary French


  19. Rank 30. Yi Jia Zi

    Tainan Chinese




  20. Rank 33. Kiku

    Japanese


  21. Rank 34. 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.



  22. Rank 36. Hosu

    Contemporary Taiwanese


  23. Rank 37. ZEA

    Taiwanese



  24. Rank 39. Motoichi

    Tempura Japanese


  25. Rank 40. Ya Ge

    Cantonese


  26. Rank 41. SÒNG JHAO

    Taiwanese


  27. Rank 42. SENS

  28. Rank 48. Serenity (Zhongzheng)

  32. Rank 67. JUNTO

    Cantonese




  33. Rank 70. The Dragon

    Cantonese







  34. Rank 76. Yu Yu 1969

    Taiwanese


  35. Miaoli Hakkanese-style glutinous rice balls are the whole point here, stuffed with pork and vegetables and made from year-old round-grain sticky rice for that particular chewy pull. It's a casual counter spot that's been around forever, with a second-generation owner still running the same recipe his mother built the place on. The scallion oil chicken drumsticks have their own following. Check social media before you go, because the hours are their own puzzle.


  36. Rank 78. Uosho

    Japanese






  37. Rank 83. Soft Power

    Taiwanese


  38. Rank 84. fumée

    Yakitori Japanese


  39. Rank 85. 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.


  40. Rank 86. Wamaki

    Japanese



  41. Rank 88. Pàng

    Taiwanese Mexican







  42. Rank 94. aMaze

    Creative Zhejiang



  43. Rank 96. 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.



  44. Rank 98. Tutto Bello

    Contemporary Italian


  45. Rank 99. Mipon

    Taiwanese


  46. Rank 100. CEO 1950

    Contemporary French
