A French restaurant located in the central city of Taichung called “Le Moût” has been selected as one of the top 50 restaurants in Asia for the second year in a row.
Le Moût placed 26th in the annual rankings compiled by Italian mineral water brands S. Pellegrino and Acqua Panna. The 2015 list was released on Monday. The Taichung restaurant, ranked 24th last year, was the only restaurant in Taiwan to make the prestigious list.
Le Moût was also selected along with three other Taiwanese restaurants to join some 1,300 French restaurants worldwide in France’s “Good France” campaign on Mar. 19 to celebrate French cuisine.
The top five Asian restaurants on the 2015 S. Pellegrino and Acqua Panna list were “Gaggan” in Bangkok, “Narisawa” in Tokyo, “Untraviolet by Paul Pairet” in Shanghai, “Nihonryori RyuGin” in Tokyo, and “Restaurant André” run by Taiwanese chef André Chiang in Singapore.
