Rank 5. 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.

Rank 5. Shanghai Food (Nantun)
Chinese
Pan-fried buns are the whole point here, and the owner spent three years working from memory before he felt they were right. This small dim sum shop in Nantun turns out pork buns with a soupy, fatty-to-lean filling that got there the long way, plus veggie buns packed with bok choy, dried tofu, and mushroom. The steamed dumplings have a chewy, satisfying pull. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of place that earns it quietly.

Rank 22. 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.

Rank 22. Inflorescence
Japanese
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.

Rank 22. 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.

Rank 22. 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.
