The Michelin Guide has announced its March additions for Tainan: three new selections — Miewan-li Mutton Restaurant (over 60 years in operation), Lumière (French cuisine using local ingredients), and Zhujichungtsai Duck (est. 1942). From time-honored street eats to refined dining, these restaurants showcase Tainan's deep culinary heritage and once again earn the ancient capital's cuisine well-deserved international recognition.
Mayor Huang Wei-che said Tainan has long been celebrated for its food — whether humble alley snacks or refined dishes, all carry generations of artisan spirit and local flavor. The three new Michelin selections for March again demonstrate the breadth and strength of Tainan's culinary scene. He warmly invites domestic and international travelers to visit Tainan, follow the Michelin trail, and savor the city's unique gastronomic charm.
Bureau Director Lin Kuo-hua introduced each new selection. Miewan-li Mutton Restaurant (est. 1962), now in its third generation, uses domestic mountain goat for its mutton soup and hot pot — prized for consistent, pure flavors. Lumière occupies a Tainan municipal historic site and offers a modern French tasting menu that blends local produce with classical technique in a refined heritage setting. Zhujichungtsai Duck (est. 1942) is a beloved institution for its slow-simmered duck and preserved vegetables broth — clear, sweet, and full-bodied, a familiar household taste that has become essential on every Tainan food itinerary.
The Bureau noted that as the Michelin Guide continues to focus on Tainan's food culture, more locally distinctive establishments are gaining international attention, drawing travelers who explore the city through its cuisine. Domestic and international visitors are sincerely invited to venture into Tainan's lanes, savor classic snacks and specialty restaurants, and experience the irresistible allure of the ancient capital — Taiwan's culinary capital.
