How this list is chosen: Restaurants with a Wine Spectator Restaurant Award or a deep wine list, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
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.
Aleisha
Deep wine list
The address — tucked down a residential lane off Zhongxiao East Road — reflects a broader pattern in the city where ambitious cooking happens well away from hotel dining rooms. At the $$$ price point, it offers a compelling entry into Taipei's non-Asian fine dining circuit.
Bistro Le Jardin
Deep wine list
Located on Tianmu East Road in Shilin District, Bistro Le Jardin has shifted from a full dining format into a wine bar and sommeliers' club, now serving wine alongside light snacks. Close to Tianmu Baseball Stadium, it occupies a quieter corner of a neighbourhood long associated with Taipei's expatriate and international dining community. For wine-focused visitors, it represents a more specialist tier of the city's drinking scene.
Ephernité
Deep wine list
Ephernité brings Chef Vanessa Huang's Parisian training to a quietly elegant room in Da'an District, where a daily-changing menu builds around farm-sourced produce from Taipei's outskirts. Ranked #439 in Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Asia (2025) and recognised with a Michelin Plate, it operates Wednesday through Sunday, evenings only, at a mid-to-upper price point for contemporary French cooking in Taiwan.
FRASSI
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
FRASSI brings Tuscan-rooted contemporary Italian cooking to Zhongshan District through a single nightly tasting menu of seven courses from Chef Iacopo Frassi. The kitchen ages its own meat in-house, and a 400-bottle wine list weighted toward Italian labels carries a Michelin Plate recognition for 2024. Dinner only; advance booking is strongly advised.
Fresh & Aged
Deep wine list
Fresh & Aged sits on the second floor of a Neihu District address, operating within Taipei's premium steakhouse tier and holding a Michelin Plate recognition for 2024. The format follows a dry-aged beef focus at a $$$$ price point, positioning it among a small group of independent steakhouses in a city better known internationally for its fine-dining tasting menus.
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.
LA Vie by thomas bühner
1 Michelin star · Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
LA Vie by thomas bühner occupies Taipei's upper tier of European contemporary dining, earning 81 points in La Liste's 2026 rankings and holding a Michelin Plate recognition. With a wine inventory of 1,520 bottles spanning French, Italian, and German labels, and a kitchen led by Chef Xavier Yeung, it positions itself among the city's most considered addresses for occasion dining. The Zhongshan District address adds a measured remove from Taipei's more tourist-dense dining corridors.
Molino de Urdániz
2 Michelin stars · Deep wine list
For those tracking Spanish contemporary cooking across Asia, this is the reference address.
Paris 1930 de Hideki Takayama
Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence · Deep wine list
Chef Takayama's menu weaves Taiwanese tea into classical French technique, from sauces to amuse-bouches, while a wine list of 2,020 bottles anchored in Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne completes the offer. Dinner runs Wednesday through Sunday; weekend lunches open a second entry point.
Smith & Wollensky Taipei
Deep wine list
Forty-Seven Floors Above the City Grid Arrive at Breeze Nanshan on a clear evening and the view from the lift lobby already does preparatory work. By the time the doors open on the 47th floor, Taipei spreads below in every direction: the grid of...
Tableau by Craig Yang
Wine Spectator Award of Excellence
Tableau by Craig Yang sits in Da'an District, where a Creole-French kitchen meets a 3,000-bottle wine program overseen by a dedicated sommelier team. Earning a Michelin Plate in 2025, the restaurant operates across lunch and dinner at a mid-range price point unusual for this level of wine depth..
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.
TUGA Portuguese Restaurant
Deep wine list
A Portuguese wine bar and restaurant on Da'an's Zhongxiao East Road, TUGA operates in a niche that barely exists elsewhere in Taipei: classic Iberian cooking calibrated to work with serious wine. The format leans hybrid, part wine shop, part dining room, and the kitchen consistently over-delivers against that positioning, producing food that earns its place alongside the bottle list rather than playing second to it.
