The Top 100 Restaurants Near Xun Kitchen


  1. Rank 2. Na Ka Seafood

    Seafood Taiwanese


  2. Rank 3. Jhen Pin

    Taiwanese



  3. 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.



  4. Rank 7. Le Palais

    Cantonese


  5. Rank 8. Eika

    Contemporary Japanese


  6. 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.





  7. Rank 13. JIA YEN

    Zhejiang


  8. Rank 14. Shou Wu

    Hakkanese


  9. Rank 15. 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.



  10. Rank 17. 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.


  11. Rank 18. 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. 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.


  13. Rank 23. 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.




  14. Rank 26. 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.


  15. Rank 27. 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.



  16. Rank 29. Mizue

    Japanese


  17. Rank 30. Mudan

    Tempura Japanese




  18. 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.


  19. Rank 34. Yu Kapo

    Japanese





  20. Rank 38. 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 39. SENS

    Contemporary French


  22. Rank 40. Ya Ge

    Cantonese


  23. Rank 41. Yi Jia Zi

    Tainan Chinese


  24. Rank 42. aMaze

    Creative Zhejiang



  25. Rank 44. 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.


  26. Rank 45. Mipon

    Taiwanese


  27. Rank 46. 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.




  28. Rank 49. de nuit

    Contemporary French


  29. Rank 50. Motoichi

    Tempura Japanese


  30. Rank 51. Hosu

    Contemporary Taiwanese


  31. A Michelin-starred omakase counter in Da'an where the soup course alone justifies showing up, a minced fish dumpling bobbing in kelp bonito stock that manages to feel both precise and generous. Lunch leans toward raw fish and nigiri; dinner shifts into cooked kappo territory. The chef is the chatty kind, which at an omakase counter either charms or unnerves, and here it lands on the right side.


  32. Rank 53. Kiku

    Japanese


  33. Rank 54. FRASSI

    Contemporary Italian


  34. Rank 55. Restaurant 12

    French-inflected Spanish



  35. Rank 57. ZEA

    Taiwanese


  36. Rank 58. Ban Bo

    contemporary Taiwanese










  37. Rank 67. Jen Ho Yuan

    Yunnan Chinese


  38. Rank 68. Woogu House

    Creative Taiwanese




  39. 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.


  40. Rank 72. Serenity (Zhongzheng)

    Vegetarian Sichuan










  41. Rank 81. SÒNG JHAO

    Taiwanese


  42. Rank 82. Abba Hakka

    Hakkanese



  43. Rank 84. Soft Power

    Taiwanese




  44. Rank 87. JUNTO

    Cantonese






  45. Rank 92. Yu Yu 1969

    Taiwanese




  46. Rank 95. Xiang Se

    European Contemporary Taiwanese






  47. Rank 100. Clavius

    Vegetarian Taiwanese
