The Experience
From Michelin Guide
From the chirping of birds and crickets to the custom-made tableware by local artisans, everything in the room conjures up collective memories and heritage. In the same nostalgic vein, a historic map of Taiwan adorns the origami-folded menu. The young chefs turn typical beer snacks, banquet dishes and rustic treats that are close to every Taiwanese’s heart into fine dining gems. Expect to spend a leisurely three hours on the multicourse meal.
