    The awards


  2. Rank 269. 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.

  12. 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.

  21. Rank 269. 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.

    The awards


  31. 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.

  58. Rank 269. Torien Yakitori

    Yakitori Japanese

    A dinky Japanese garden leads into a yakitori counter where local chickens, prepped fresh each day, go over the grill with nothing but salt so each cut can argue for itself. The chef spent time honing the craft in Japan, and the set menu moves through cuts most people have never thought to order. Counter seats watch the kitchen the whole time, which is half the point. Call ahead if you want chicken sashimi or squab.

  70. Smoke from the cooking pits reaches you before the menu does. This semi-open-air restaurant sits on a mountainside outside the city, framed by green hills, and the kitchen's centerpiece is lamb slow-cooked for a full day in rice wine and a rotating blend of Chinese herbs, tuned warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The broth is dark and medicinal in the best way. Wild greens and game meats round things out, and the savory rice runs weekends only.

  76. Rank 269. Xiantaosu

    Vegetarian Chinese

    Rattan pendant lights and deep red walls give this cosy vegetarian restaurant in Zuoying a warmth that matches the cooking, which leans on grilling and fermentation to pull real depth from vegetables. The menu is carefully labeled for vegan and other dietary needs, so the table can sort itself out without fuss. A plant-based meal that takes technique seriously, in a room that doesn't feel like a compromise.

  93. Rank 269. 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.

  96. About an hour outside Taipei, this ryokan-style resort sits inside the Wulai Mountains, where rooms have private hot spring baths and floor-to-ceiling windows aimed at the river. The public bathhouse runs to steam room, sauna, outdoor pool, and hydrotherapy pool, and mornings can start with Tai Chi if you'd like to feel very virtuous before lunch. A waterfall hike is also on offer, for those who need a reason to leave the bath.

          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.
