Michelin SCA yesterday released its second Michelin Guide Taipei, awarding 24 eateries for culinary excellence, recognitions that are bound to boost their revenue and customers by double-digit percentages.

The 260-page book, cosponsored by the Tourism Bureau, has helped attract food lovers from around Taiwan and the world, lending force to Taipei’s gastronomical presence on the global stage, Deputy Minister of Transportation and Communications Chi Wen-jong (祁文中) said.

For this year’s guide, 127 dining establishments were reviewed, 24 of which were given from one to three stars based on reviews by anonymous food inspectors, Michelin Guide international director Gwendal Poullennec said.

Le Palais (頤宮), the Cantonese restaurant of Palais de Chine (君品酒店) near Taipei Railway Station, was again awarded three stars, the highest honor, which indicates a restaurant with exceptional cuisine that merits a special journey, Poullenec said.
