The restaurants and chefs that were selected and those who successfully obtained Michelin stars have increased their status and reputation immeasurably.
The Michelin Guide Taipei has built a platform to showcase the food service of Taiwan to the world. Not only has it spread the fame of Taiwanese chefs, but the abundance of local produce has also drawn the attention of many internationally renowned chefs to pay a visit to the island and exchange knowledge and experiences. Chef of the 3 Michelin starred restaurant Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée, Alain Ducasse, once said during a visit to Taiwan: “Since Taiwan has so many natural, delicious, and nutritious ingredients, it definitely deserves the world’s attention.” Aisha Ibrahim, known as a future star chef, who once worked in the 3 Michelin starred Azurmendi Executive Chef, is also amazed by the sweetness, taste, and quality of Taiwan’s agricultural products. He even created a new menu using 90% local ingredients from Taiwan’.
