  5. Rank 239. 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.

  18. Perched on a mountainside nearly 500 meters up, this Zen-inspired Japanese restaurant frames lush hills by day and city lights by night through its immaculate gardens. Inside, a 10-course omakase built on kaiseki traditions unfolds with tea rituals woven between dishes, and the team narrates each course with enough context that it feels like a seminar you didn't want to skip. The kind of meal that earns its altitude.

  44. Rank 239. 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.

  52. Rank 239. Lumière

    Contemporary European

    A century-old family manor in Houbi, reworked into a spare, Nordic-feeling dining room lined with local serpentine stone and cypress wood. The chef trained in France and channels that into a contemporary European menu built around southern Taiwan's produce, including a signature egg dish that nods to the family's poultry-farming past. It's a quietly personal place, and the food reflects it.

  68. Rank 239. 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.

  72. Rank 239. Munchi

    Modern Vietnamese

    Counter seats facing an open kitchen give Munchi the feel of a wine cellar that accidentally got very good at food. This casual neo-bistro in Taichung reworks Vietnamese flavors through a contemporary lens, with a two-chef team and a sommelier steering the room toward natural wines and cocktails. The Munchi-style pho alongside a glass of something orange is the kind of pairing that makes you reconsider what a Vietnamese restaurant can be.

  82. A Japanese chef running a contemporary French kitchen on the second floor of a Taipei hotel sounds like a setup, but the seasonally shifting millefeuille and seafood-forward menus built around local teas and spices make a quiet case for the combination. The room is understated to the point of calm, and both wine and tea sommeliers are on hand, which does rather raise the bar for your next dinner party.

  91. Rank 239. 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.

          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.
