March 2023: The Michelin Inspectors' Favorite New Restaurants

The MICHELIN Guide Inspectors reveal some of their latest favorite additions via live updates monthly.

Kaohsiung Live Updates Taichung Tainan Taipei

MICHELIN Guide Inspectors spend all year on the road uncovering the best restaurants to recommend and reveal some of their latest favorite additions monthly ahead of the annual launch event.

Restaurants in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung will be added to the selection monthly, on the second Wednesday of every month. The newly selected venues will feature on both the website and the app. There’s a special entry “New” created for those newly-listed restaurants and those restaurants will be highlighted with a ‘New’ symbol, for easy identification.

Some of these newly recommended establishments might go on to earn distinctions at the MICHELIN Star Revelation ceremony, so follow the monthly releases closely and watch this space!

For March 2023, the inspectors share 6 of their favorite newly recommended restaurants across Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung, including a newly-open French restaurant helmed by a chef that has developed over the year in the Robuchon system, as well as a famous braised pork rice that has run through 3 generations.  Why not add them to your list and give them a try?
