Da’an District, Taipei City｜Longtail

Decided to try this place and was not disappointed.. We opted for the tasting menu and everything tasted wonderful. The servers/host explained everything and even went the extra mile to look up some of the ingredients to explain what they were in English and Japanese. We were also treated to the Kaya french toast as it was also a birthday celebration. Kaya french toast is part to the regular menu and should not be missed. Can't wait to try the next tasting menu on our next visit.

Came here for our wedding anniversary. Great food, atmosphere and service. The only complaint is the loud concertation carried over from the adjacent tables and the bar. That being said, the culinary event definitely exceeded our expectation after enjoying fine dining in many major cities in the US and Europe . Although we reserved it in the last minute, Longtail saved a romantic window table for us. For starters, we had the uni rice crisp, the shrimp sliders, and the quail lemongrass noodle. The uni crisp was artfully done, (my favorite) the umami of the uni was captured in a mousse form, playfully balanced with yuzu and shiso flavor. Main courses: hubby ad the pork chop and I had the grouper. Dessert: matcha French toast and espresso ice cream. All had a bit of some Asian flair in it but exquisitely done. Sparkling wine was excellent with just the right amount of acidity to go with my turmeric grouper. Amazing! Thanks for a great evening.

Ordered from the ala carte menu because we wanted variety/flexibility. The stand outs were the fig toast, shrimp sliders, and eel gua bao. Kanpachi sashimi was also delicious. Tried 4 different mains, all pretty good but the appetizers were just way more memorable.
