At the Michelin Guide Taiwan 2025 official unveiling ceremony in Taipei on August 19, eight restaurants received their first star while three were elevated from one- to two-star status.

Now in its eighth edition, the Taiwan guide has expanded its coverage for the first time to encompass New Taipei City and Hsinchu.

“This is a testament to Taiwan’s openness and confidence in embracing both tradition and innovation,” said Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guide.
