Since the first Taipei Michelin Guide was announced last year with a scheduled release in the first quarter of 2018, it has not only been a hot topic among restaurants and food enthusiasts, but also which establishments might make the list has become a major point of discussion.

The official announcement date for the Taipei Michelin Guide has been set for Wednesday, March 14, 2018, when the list of awarded restaurants will be revealed.
The evaluation criteria, and the standards used to judge Taipei’s dining scene, are the same as those used in other countries. The five key criteria are as follows:
1. Quality of ingredient preparation
2. Technique in food handling
3. Creativity and the chef’s intended message conveyed through the food
4. Consistency of the dining experience
5. Value for money
According to past Michelin Guide releases, the range of restaurants covered is quite broad, with even affordable eateries and street food vendors potentially making the list. In the future, aside from Taipei, whether other cities in Taiwan will also receive Michelin Guides will be a topic of discussion and an expected focal point.
