MiRaWan in Taipei, Taiwan
Wrapped up my Taiwan trip at MiraWan, a restaurant recognized by the Michelin Plate in the 2020 Taipei & Taichung Michelin Guide. Imagine stunning city views from the 47th floor, incredibly delicious food, and an overall vibe that screams "WOW."

about MiraWan
MiraWan, short for “Miracles of Taiwan,” uses local ingredients from Taiwan to create beautiful French dishes, implementing both traditional and innovative concepts. The head chef, Josh Cheng, aims to create original French cuisine using nature and unique Taiwanese local ingredients, creating unforgettable experiences for diners.

getting there
MiraWan is located inside the trendy Breeze Nan Shan Mall (微風) — think high-end shops and other fancy restaurants. It's right across from the iconic Taipei 101, so you really can’t miss it.
The moment you step out of the elevator, you’ll see an amazing architectural sign, MiraWan, that’ll lead your eyes to the small entrance.
🌟 TIP
Head to the dedicated MiraWan elevator which is hidden between the designer shops. A host will be waiting in front of the elevator. So keep an eye out!

stepping inside
Once you step inside, you’ll see soft, pastel lights dance across the room, and the ceiling features these cool pyramid shapes that shimmer like birds in flight. Seriously, it's breathtaking!
A friendly server guided me to our table by the window, offering a panoramic view of the Taipei city. Every detail, from the crisp white tablecloths to the comfy chairs, is thoughtfully designed to make your experience unforgettable.

food highlights
Some dishes, like the Lobster Pasta and the Boston Lobster with White Asparagus and Caviar (which I highly recommend ordering!), require pre-ordering. We went all out and pre-ordered both when we were reserving our spot!
At the table, we couldn't resist adding some perfectly crispy French Fries to the mix (because fries are life!).
Everything arrived looking like tiny works of art. The taste? Absolutely magnificent. Each bite melted in our mouths, making us want to devour the whole dish instantly. Paired with the stunning views of the Taipei city and the night sky, it was such a memorable dining experience.
One thing to keep in mind is that MiraWan only offers bottled water, sparkling or still. This is pretty common for high-end restaurants in Taipei. While I typically prefer free tap water, the rest of the experience definitely made up for it!
✴︎ Please note that MiraWan changes its menu frequently to align with what’s seasonally fresh and in the current market. Therefore, what I’ve ordered may not be listed on the menu.
