Taiwan’s premium steak market is becoming increasingly competitive, and now the renowned American steakhouse Smith & Wollensky has confirmed its expansion into the region. This steakhouse is beloved by many well-known celebrities and athletes, and even Miranda from “The Devil Wears Prada” specifically chooses this brand. The first overseas branch of Smith & Wollensky was established in London, and now it is making its first foray into the Asian market by entering Taiwan. It is set to open at Taipei’s Breeze Nan Shan in December.

Founded in 1977, Smith & Wollensky is widely known for its classic white-and-green color scheme, authentic New York-style ambiance, attentive and professional service, and celebrity clientele. Since its inception, the restaurant has been committed to providing unparalleled dining experiences and the finest USDA Prime steaks—tender, flavorful dry-aged cuts and hand-cut steaks prepared fresh daily.
In addition to its classic steak offerings, the restaurant will also introduce new dishes that incorporate Taiwanese flavors.
The headquarters of Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group is located in Boston, and the group owns and operates seven flagship Smith & Wollensky restaurants across the United States: in Miami Beach, Chicago, Columbus (Ohio), Houston, and three in Boston. Its first international location is in London.
To ensure the quality of its aged steaks, the brand plans to set up a dedicated aging room in Taipei.
For 40 years since its founding, Smith & Wollensky has emphasized the Farm to Table philosophy, insisting on sourcing top-tier USDA Prime beef hand-butchered from contracted farms.
The restaurant also offers a seafood cold platter tower.
This grade of beef accounts for only 2.9% of all beef produced in the U.S. Through Smith & Wollensky’s exclusive dry-aging process, the beef concentrates its essence over four weeks. High-heat cooking draws out the seductive aroma of the marbling, delivering an intensely rich and original flavor in every bite.
Over the past 40 years, Smith & Wollensky has won the hearts of many successful individuals with its high-quality service and exceptional cuisine.
