Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

Formerly the Executive Chef at the three-Michelin-starred French restaurant Le Jardin des Sens and named one of Asia’s Top 10 Best Young Chefs, André Chiang has announced his return to Taiwan to open the “RAW” restaurant. After a period of preparation, “RAW” is set to begin an “internal soft launch” on November 20 and officially open on December 9.

RAW will commence its “internal soft launch” on November 20, with the official opening scheduled for December 9. However, both the opening day and December 10–11 are by invitation only, with public access starting December 12. As reservations are only accepted for the first two weeks, booking will open on November 26 (i.e., two weeks before December 12).

Pricing at RAW is NT$850 for lunch and NT$1,850 for dinner (both include a 10% service charge), with new menus introduced each season or for special holidays. During the soft launch period, only the NT$1,850 set menu will be available.
