Le Palais is Taiwan's only three-star Michelin restaurant. Given its name, one might expect it to serve French food, but no, it’s all Chinese cuisine. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the Palais de Chine hotel near Taipei’s main train station. The hotel has five stars, but feels a bit old-school with extensive dark wooden paneling. Booking a room at the hotel is the easiest way to get a table at the restaurant: the concierge can make a reservation way before they become available online.
Le Palais has a very extensive menu and your experience will probably differ a lot depending on what you order. There is a dim sum menu for lunch, and this is what people talk about when they say that Le Palais is one of the cheapest three-star restaurants in the world.
Dinners can be enjoyed Chinese banquet style in one of several private dining rooms. For a larger party, ordering the restaurant's signature roast duck or goose makes sense (each is enough for 8-10 people, supposedly).
