TT Taipei

TT sits on Lane 165 in the Songshan District, a fifteen-minute walk from the Eslite Bookstore. The kitchen focuses on contemporary, modern, and creative cooking, a direction that has earned the restaurant a Michelin star.

The restaurant is dressier than the casual noodle shops that define much of the surrounding streets. While many venues in this part of Taipei lean toward quick, high-turnover service, TT carves out a slower pace that feels intentional. It is the better choice for a long dinner, as the room runs smart and avoids the frantic, fluorescent atmosphere common to the nearby blocks. You go here for the precision of the kitchen, which separates the experience from the heavier, more traditional fare found throughout the rest of Songshan.
