  7. A beef shabu-shabu restaurant in Rende that runs its broth for eight hours before the doors open, so the golden, clear stock already tastes like someone else did the hard part. Hand-sliced beef from nearby Shanhua is the whole point, swished briefly through the pot. You fill out a form to choose your cuts, then help yourself to the sides and the braised beef rice that everyone ends up with anyway. No reservations, so arrive with patience and low blood sugar.

  21. Rank 101. enPure

    Modern Taiwanese

    A garden path leads you in before the food even starts, which sets the tone: this is a tasting menu restaurant in a minimalist room of brick red and grey, where a former interior designer runs the kitchen. The cooking is modern Taiwanese, built around local produce, and the rice cooked in a claypot with tea seed oil from a partner farm is the kind of dish that makes the sourcing worth mentioning. The tea pairing is an easy yes.

  25. Rank 101. 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.

  35. Rank 101. Le Plein

    Taiwanese

    Bare concrete and exposed brick share space with warm wood across two floors and a courtyard, which gives Le Plein the look of a loft that took a wrong turn into something more considered. It's a tasting-menu-only restaurant built around Taiwan's seasonal produce, with the number of courses shifting between lunch and dinner. The cold-brewed tea pairings are the quiet argument for skipping wine altogether.

  43. Rank 101. MU

    Taiwanese

    Meat arrives at the table inside a wooden smoking box, which is one way to make sure you're paying attention. MU is a cozy tasting menu restaurant drawing on Taiwanese, Hakka, and Indigenous recipes, with most dishes cooked over charcoal and sauces kept clean of starch. The menu turns with the seasons, leaning on local herbs and spices. The interior is calm and monochromatic, the kind of room that manages to feel considered without trying to impress you.

  80. Rank 101. Zhu Xin Ju

    Taiwanese

    A restored red-brick mansion on Sinyi Street sets the stage for an omakase experience built around old Taiwanese banquet cooking. The chef works from traditional recipes, letting local seasonal ingredients carry the meal through seven dishes and a soup. It's the kind of formal, unhurried dinner where the room and the food are making the same argument about how things used to be done.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
