How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
A Cut
1 Michelin star
A Michelin one-star steakhouse on the second floor of the Ambassador Hotel in Taipei's Zhongshan District, A Cut positions itself at the summit of Taiwan's premium beef scene. The airy, light-filled dining room handles both power lunches and evening service with equal formality, and the à la carte program covering Australian Mayura Full-blood Wagyu and rare wine vintages sets it apart from the city's broader steakhouse tier.
Ad Astra
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
Ad Astra holds a Michelin star in Taipei's competitive fine-dining tier, operating a 10- or 14-course omakase-style counter from Wednesday through Sunday in Zhongshan. European Contemporary technique meets Japanese culinary philosophy, with beverage pairing at the centre of the experience. The restaurant is among Taipei's most closely watched for its counter format and the integration of Asian ingredients into a European structure.
aMaze
1 Michelin star
A Michelin Plate recipient in 2024 and 2025, aMaze on Mingshui Road brings over three decades of Hangzhou and Jiangzhe culinary tradition into conversation with European technique. Chef Jim Yang's 10-course set menu works through home-style recipes reinterpreted with ingredients less common in Chinese kitchens, including saffron, cheese, and Japanese seaweed. Tea pairings complete the format.
Ban Bo
1 Michelin star
Ban Bo holds a Michelin star for its approach to Taiwanese comfort food reimagined through precise technique and strong visual identity. Set in Zhongshan District, the room draws on local craft — hand-made tableware, nature sounds, origami-folded menus printed with historic maps — while the kitchen reworks beer snacks, banquet staples, and rustic dishes into something considerably more considered. Priced at $$$, it sits a tier below Taipei's top fine-dining rooms while operating with clear creative ambition.
Chuan Ya
1 Michelin star
Chuan Ya holds a Michelin Plate (2024 and 2025) and sits on the 46th floor of Breeze Nanshanin Xinyi District, with direct views across Taipei 101. The kitchen works across three set menu formats spanning home-style Sichuan cooking to imperial-era recipes, at a $$$ price point that positions it below the city's starred Cantonese and contemporary tiers. Lunch and dinner service run seven days a week.
Circum-
1 Michelin star
Circum- earns its 2024 Michelin star by mapping the diaspora of Chinese culinary culture through French technique, operating from the basement of Regent Galleria in Taipei's Zhongshan District. The kitchen reads emigrant food history as source material, translating childhood recipes and overseas anecdotes into a structured tasting format. At the $$$ price tier, it sits a step below Taipei's three-star rooms but punches into the same serious-dining conversation.
de nuit
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred French contemporary restaurant in Taipei's Xinyi Anhe district, de nuit operates Tuesday through Sunday evenings, with weekend lunch service added. Chef Kei Koo leads an 8- or 10-course set menu rooted in classical French technique, driven by seasonal produce, and served in a room dressed in black, grey, and blue with brass trim and velvet upholstery.
Eika
2 Michelin stars
Eika holds a 2024 Michelin star for Japanese contemporary cuisine in Taipei's Datong District, placing it inside a small but growing tier of Japan-rooted fine dining that operates alongside the city's French and Taiwanese tasting-menu circuit.
FRASSI
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
FRASSI brings Tuscan-rooted contemporary Italian cooking to Zhongshan District through a single nightly tasting menu of seven courses from Chef Iacopo Frassi. The kitchen ages its own meat in-house, and a 400-bottle wine list weighted toward Italian labels carries a Michelin Plate recognition for 2024. Dinner only; advance booking is strongly advised.
Fujin Tree Taiwanese Cuisine & Champagne (Songshan)
1 Michelin star
The menu reinterprets Tainan-rooted cooking through a seasonal lens, with champagne pairings as a through-line.
Golden Formosa
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred institution in Taipei's Tianmu neighbourhood, Golden Formosa has carried the same family recipes across three generations since the 1960s. Ranked among Opinionated About Dining's top restaurants in Asia in both 2024 and 2025, it earns its place through sharply seasoned Taiwanese cooking — twice-fried pork ribs, wok-fired bottarga rice — at a price point well below most starred addresses in the city.
Hosu
1 Michelin star
A 14-course set menu in Da'an District that traces Taiwan's five major population groups through local produce from mountains and coastal waters. Hosu relocated to its current address in 2024, bringing eco-conscious interiors — oyster shell paint, a courtyard pine — to a format built around seasonal Taiwanese contemporary cooking.
Impromptu by Paul Lee
1 Michelin star
Tucked below the Regent Hotel in Zhongshan, Impromptu by Paul Lee holds a Michelin star and a 2025 Opinionated About Dining Top 257 Asia ranking for its tasting menu that reframes Taiwanese street food through haute cuisine technique. Asian and European references converge in dishes built around quality local produce, with a non-alcoholic pairing program that draws serious attention on its own terms.
INITA
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred tasting counter in Taipei's Songshan District, INITA merges Italian technique, Japanese sensibility, and Taiwanese produce into a 10-plus course seasonal menu. The name encodes its three-way cultural debt: Italy, Nippon, and Taiwan. Tuesday through Saturday evenings only, with a price point ($$$$) that places it firmly in the city's upper tier of contemporary dining.
Ken Anhe
1 Michelin star
Ken Anhe holds a Michelin star in Taipei's Da'an District, serving omakase-only menus that shift daily between raw fish and nigiri at lunch and kappo-style cooked courses at dinner. Chef Wachi Isao's approach centres on freshness and layered flavour, with a soup course notable for its minced fish dumpling paired with kelp bonito stock. Reservations are essential; the restaurant closes Mondays and Sundays.
Kitcho Sushi
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred sushi counter in Da'an District, Kitcho ranks among Taiwan's most carefully sourced Japanese restaurants. Niigata rice seasoned with three vinegars, a rotating sake list tied to seasonal ingredients, and OAD Top Asia recognition across three consecutive years place it inside Taipei's premium omakase tier. Cooked dishes are available on request, making it one of the more flexible counters in the city.
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon (Taipei) / 侯布雄法式餐廳
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
The Taipei outpost of the Robuchon group holds two Michelin stars as of 2025 and consecutive Opinionated About Dining recognition across three years, positioning it among the more consistently decorated French tables in the city. Situated on the fifth floor of a Xinyi District address, the counter-format dining room follows the signature red-and-black aesthetic of the global Atelier concept, with Chef Yohei Matsuo leading the kitchen.
Le Palais
3 Michelin stars
Le Palais holds three Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 91 points (2025), placing it among the more decorated Cantonese restaurants in Asia. Plan well ahead: tables at this level rarely open on short notice.
logy
2 Michelin stars
A two-Michelin-starred counter in Taipei's Neihu District, logy operates at the intersection of Japanese technique and Taiwanese produce, under chef Ryogo Tahara of the Florilège lineage. The menu architecture reflects a dialogue between two culinary traditions rather than a fusion compromise. Ranked 26th among Asia's Best Restaurants in 2025, it occupies the upper tier of Taipei's fine dining circuit.
Mipon
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred Taiwanese restaurant on the third floor of a Zhongshan District building, Mipon earns its star through disciplined, ingredient-led cooking rooted in traditional technique. The kitchen's stewed Chinese cabbage with fish skin and honey mustard-glazed ribs with black jujube dates signal a menu that respects classical Taiwanese flavour structures without drift into fusion. Lunch and dinner service run daily, with earlier weekend evening sittings from 5:30 PM.
Molino de Urdániz
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
For those tracking Spanish contemporary cooking across Asia, this is the reference address.
Moon Moon Food (雙月食品社)
2 Michelin stars
The structured format positions it within Taipei's growing cohort of European-rooted tasting menus, where precision of execution and sourcing logic matter more than volume.
Motoichi
1 Michelin star
A Michelin Plate-recognised tempura counter in Taipei's Da'an District, Motoichi runs an omakase format across 16 counter seats split between two rooms. Seasonal ingredients arrive in a light, grease-free batter with clean, defined textures. For Taipei diners seeking the discipline of a Japanese specialist kitchen applied to tempura, this is a serious address.
Mountain and Sea House
1 Michelin star
Mountain and Sea House occupies a restored mansion on Ren'ai Road, framing Taiwanese banquet traditions through a lens of seasonal produce, multi-layered cultural influence, and architectural grandeur. Holding a Michelin star since 2024 and ranked among Opinionated About Dining's top 200 restaurants in Asia for 2025, it represents Taipei's most considered argument for the formal preservation of indigenous and Hokkien-inflected cooking.
Mudan Tempura
2 Michelin stars
Mudan Tempura holds two Michelin stars and a place on the 2025 Opinionated About Dining Asia rankings, making it one of Taipei's most decorated specialists in Japanese tempura. Lunch and dinner sittings run Tuesday through Sunday in a format built around precision frying rather than multi-course spectacle.
NOBUO
2 Michelin stars
Awarded a Michelin star in its opening year, NOBUO operates from a quiet lane in Dongmen, Taipei, serving a single tasting menu that fuses Franco-Japanese technique with Taiwanese seasonal produce. The sparse, Scandinavian-inflected interior contrasts with the intensity of the cooking. Open Wednesday through Sunday for dinner, with lunch service Thursday to Sunday.
Sens
1 Michelin star
A 20-seat French Contemporary counter in Taipei's Songshan District, Sens runs a single seasonal tasting menu that changes with the market while keeping its celebrated pâté en croûte as a standing fixture. The kitchen's command of classic French sauces and fresh herb work places it in the upper tier of Taipei's fine-dining French scene, operating dinner service Tuesday through Saturday with Friday and Saturday lunch sittings available.
Shin Yeh Taiwanese Signature
1 Michelin star
Shin Yeh Taiwanese Signature in Zhongshan holds a Michelin star (2024) and draws on four decades of the Shin Yeh group's institutional knowledge of Taiwanese cuisine. The menu spans the brand's greatest hits alongside newer creations, with a mid-range price point that makes it one of the more accessible starred tables in Taipei. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with split service across both sessions.
Sushi Kajin
1 Michelin star
Among Taipei's Michelin-recognised edomae counters, Sushi Kajin on Jilin Road distinguishes itself through direct sourcing from Tokyo's Toyosu Market and nearly three decades of craft at the counter. A Taiwanese cypress bar, Japanese lacquerware, and measured lighting create the material conditions for serious sushi. The 2025 Michelin Plate recognises a kitchen where fish aging and rice calibration receive the same attention as the catch itself.
Sushi Ryu
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred omakase counter in Taipei's Zhongshan District, Sushi Ryu operates on fish shipped directly from Japan three times a week and a rice seasoned with three vinegars. Chef Yonglong Yang brings nearly three decades of Taipei sushi experience to a counter where only omakase is served. Ranked #297 in Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Asia 2024.
Sushiyoshi
1 Michelin star
Sushiyoshi sits in Taipei's upper tier of omakase counters, where founder Hiroki Nakanoue draws on training in both Japanese and French culinary traditions to produce menus that move between Edomae nigiri and Western ingredients such as caviar and truffle. Ranked 227th in the OAD Top Restaurants in Asia 2024, it operates Tuesday through Saturday with separate lunch and dinner formats across Da'an District.
T+T
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred small-plates restaurant in Taipei's Songshan District, T+T works Asian pantry staples — miso, Dang Gui, Shaoxing wine, red bean — into a tasting format that shifts every three to four months. The OAD ranking and bistronomy-meets-Asian-ingredient approach place it in a distinct tier among Taipei's contemporary dining options, with value credentials that stand apart from the city's $$$$ bracket.
Taïrroir
3 Michelin stars
Taïrroir holds three Michelin stars and a 95-point La Liste ranking for 2026, placing it among Taipei's most decorated restaurants. Chef Kai Ho's nine-course tasting menu threads Taiwanese ingredients and cultural reference through French technique, with dishes named to echo local idioms and sourced from nearby producers. The dining room on Lequn 3rd Road is framed by a copper tile ceiling that signals the kitchen-forward intent before a single course arrives.
The Guest House
1 Michelin star
Formerly a members-only dining club on the 17th floor of a Zhongzheng tower, The Guest House now opens its Huaiyang and Sichuan cooking to a wider audience without softening its standards. Chef Lin Ju-Wei has held a Michelin star since 2024 and consistently ranks among Asia's most recognised Chinese kitchens. The main room runs quiet and spacious; the private dining rooms are purpose-built for banquet-format meals.
Tien Hsiang Lo
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence
Tien Hsiang Lo holds a Michelin star (2024) for its refined take on Hangzhou cuisine, served in a hotel dining room whose decor draws from the Ten Scenes of West Lake. Chef Willy Liao reimagines classical recipes with contemporary technique, while tea sommeliers and in-service calligraphers extend the experience well beyond the plate. A wine list of 2,020 bottles, strong in Burgundy and Bordeaux, rounds out one of Taipei's more architecturally considered Chinese dining rooms.
Wok by O'BOND
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred sister to Tei by O'Bond, Wok by O'BOND operates at the sharper end of Taipei's creative tasting menu circuit. The kitchen applies modern French technique to Taiwanese and broader Asian flavour architecture, rotating its themed seasonal menus through forms that rarely resemble their source ingredients. Taiwanese teas and herb-infused cocktails anchor the drinks program with the same conceptual discipline.
Ya Ge
1 Michelin star
Among Taipei's upper-tier Cantonese houses, Ya Ge holds a Michelin star and consistent placement on Opinionated About Dining's Asia rankings, operating from a classically appointed dining room inside a luxury hotel on Dunhua North Road. The lunch dim sum and the autumn hairy crab menu represent two distinct reasons to visit, and the gap between the two services is wider than it first appears.
Yu Kapo
2 Michelin stars
The appeal is less about spectacle than about the discipline of kaiseki thinking: sequence, seasonality, restraint, and the city’s growing appetite for Japanese formats that read as formal rather than casual.
ZEA
1 Michelin star
Among Taipei's Michelin-starred tasting menus, ZEA occupies a position no other counter holds: an Argentinian chef using Taiwanese produce and technique to work through Latin American culinary tradition. The result earned a Michelin star in 2024 and runs Wednesday through Sunday evenings on Ren'ai Road in Da'an District, with a format that sits squarely at the summit of the city's $$$$ tier.
