  8. Rank 3. Li Xiao Lou

    Taiwanese

    A low-key Taiwanese home-cooking spot tucked down an alley, where a renovated old property has been fitted out with a Japanese-style wooden counter framing an open kitchen. The menu is short and the portions are small, the kind of place that quietly earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand without making a fuss about it. Stir-fried eel cooked in house-made goose fat is the dish regulars plan around: rich, bouncy, and sweet-sour enough to demand a bowl of rice alongside.

  17. Rank 15. 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.

  21. Rank 15. 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.

          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.
