While five new restaurants were awarded one star in Taiwan’s capital, Taipei; two one-star restaurants in Southern Taiwan’s Kaohsiung City drew attention.

For the first time this year, Taipei and Kaohsiung were evaluated in the Michelin Guide. Gwendal Poullennec, the international director of the Michelin Guide, said:
“By adding Tainan and Kaohsiung – two cities with their own distinctive culinary identities, which have impressed our inspectors – to our restaurant selection, we also hope our selection will further satisfy local and international gourmets looking for unforgettable experiences, from fancy places to night food market stalls.”
