The 2025 Michelin Guide Taiwan was unveiled Aug. 19 in Taipei City, with three restaurants retaining their coveted three stars, seven earning two stars and 43 receiving one star.
 
According to the guide, the list includes 43 restaurants based in Taipei, six in the central city of Taichung and four in the southern port city of Kaohsiung.
 
In addition, seven establishments were awarded the Michelin Green Star for dining experiences that combine culinary excellence with a commitment to sustainability. These are Embers, Hosu, Little Tree Food on Da’an Road, Mountain and Sea House, and the Shilin branch of Yangming Spring in Taipei; Thomas Chien in Kaohsiung; and the newly added Tu Pang in Taichung.
 
Lin Kuo-shian, deputy minister of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, commended the guide’s decision to include more cities this year, better spotlighting Taiwan’s unique culture and cuisine. Gourmet food is both a starting point for global visitors to better understand Taiwan and a tool to delve deeper into the country’s cultural and social fabric, he added.
 
Following Lin’s remarks, Tourism Administration Director-General Chen Yu-hsiu praised the guide as a bridge that connects Taiwan to visitors from around the world. The administration will continue to promote Taiwan’s gourmet food and unique travel experiences to attract more foreign tourists, she added.
