“Highly recommended for that special occasion with your special someone. “
The services and the asking price definitely were worth the Michelin title. Taste is a subjective thing, but we did find those dish designs can be a bit repetitive (e.g use of the “sauce rings” on the plates). Although there were some (good) surprises along the way, I was expecting for more “fairy dust sprinkling” moments. Perhaps in their next season’s menu?
Overall an amazing experience from the food and services, also thanks Fleur de Sel for celebrating the special occasion with us.

I had the pleasure of dining here and I must say, the experience was truly remarkable. From the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine, everything was top-notch. The restaurant even has a special parking lot for its guests, which is a great convenience.
The French-inspired dishes were a work of art, and the chef's attention to detail and use of high-quality ingredients truly shone through in each dish. Every bite was an explosion of flavors, and the creativity behind each dish was truly impressive.
Not only were the dishes delicious, but the presentation was beautiful and elegant. It was like enjoying a piece of art with each course. Although the prices were on the higher side, the chef and servers were happy to share their techniques and stories behind each dish, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, I highly recommend Fleur de Sel for anyone looking for a dining experience that is both luxurious and creative.

It was artistic, it was delicious, it was beautiful.
For the first time in my life I actually liked sea urchin. The amuse bouch was warm and served with steamed egg, rice crispy, sesame, and seaweed. A well balanced taste and great way to start a meal in the cold winter.
Amazing squid rice - delicious and surprising every bite. It looks like rice but its not.
Lobster is fresh in a cute caterpillar presentation. The crisp explodes with flavour!
OMG blown away by the best onion soup I have ever had. Sweet and savoury, fragrant but light, I was in heaven, swimming in cheese, truffle, onion and beef broth.
Cod, scallop, and pigeon are all delicate and delicious! Very nice fusion of Taiwanese flavours in French cuisine. Pigeon has strawberry sauce but was cooked in Chinese herbal flavours. Chestnut sauce lingering your mouth for a whole minute, very fragrant.
Oh did I mention its bread? Its amazing. 3 out of 4 choices were quite designed to "Taiwanese" taste buds in a way they were very soft and light, but all freshly baked and packed with flavours. Rose croissant, vanilla mango, rye bread... yum! Well done on the salt sprinkle too, staying true to the name of the restaurant.
Pallet cleanser is beautifully Taiwanese with Guava ice cream, sea salt, oolong jelly. Classic flavours I grew up with in Taiwan, refreshing and distinct. Only wish the oolong taste can be a bit stronger (use 重烘培烏龍 instead of 輕烘培烏龍 for the jelly).
Dessert trio has lots of ways to eat it, fun and enjoyable. A surprise in every bite.
Finisher of longan chocolate truffle is beautiful. A perfect finishing touch to end the meal.
A beautiful symphony down to the last note.
The service was one of the best too. Friendly and attentive. A cup of warm water served immediately after I had light coughs. I dropped the menu card from my seat and they rushed over to pick it up (Michelin star test) all passed with flying colours!
One of my best meals in 2022. Definitely lived up to my long anticipation and high expectations of this famous restaurant.

Awesome French Cuisine located at Taichung! Took HSR from Taipei just because of this meal💕💕
The chef is very talented! Not only the decorated of dishes but also delicious! Great service with wonderful meals. How you ask for more!! 👍👍👍
Exquisite food, and very good service. Very inspiring food combines mainly Asian-sourced ingredients with European cooking style.
We tried the tasting menu and all dishes were amazing, including the desserts, cooked to perfection. Highlights were the scallops with limoncelo foam, and the flame grilled lobster tale. Presentation of every dish was also great.
Price was on the higher end (for Taiwanese standards), but having said that, the restaurant could easily stand next to London/Paris Michelin starred restaurants.
Would absolutely recommend.
This is a Michelin star winning restaurant in Taichung, we booked a table for 6:00 pm of four about a month in advanced, but we were stuck in the traffic jam, thus we called the restaurant to inform the situation, and the restaurant defers our booking for 30 minutes, although it says reservations could not be defer or cancel on the website. The meal we order is NTD 3800 no menu set per person, excluding wine pairing, it is the set most people order in this restaurant. In the set, there are ten delicate molecular gastronomy dish, it is quite interesting to have this dish, every bite is a surprise, you could never know what it is before putting it into mouth or asking the waiter. Although we do not have wine pairing this time, we’ve order Italian white truffle as a pairing for the main dish, it adds a different flavor to the dish, it is around NTD 980 per gram, and thus we end up over NTD 5500, it is a bit over the budget, but it worths. All the dishes are well seasoned and nicely cooked, and the waiters are nice and friendly, no wonder this restaurant win a Michelin star in 2020.
Good dishes, good service, & good wine. Not cheap, but it's worth a try(NTD2,880~5,880/dinner set/per person.. Actually,the price of dinner set is 30~40% off than Michelin 2~3stars restaurant in Paris.
Still mesmerized by their creation. Great for anniversary or special occasions.

It was a wonderful experience what I've had. They've serviced the birthday cake to me after I had told them it was my birthday dinner. The dishes are also delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant!
