About Longtail

Introducing Longtail, an eclectic restaurant tucked into the Da’an District of Taipei that feels equal parts neighborhood hangout and creative playground. Located at No. 174號, Section 2, Dunhua S Rd, this spot has a relaxed confidence that shows up the moment you step inside, from the casual energy of the room to the way flavors and drinks are treated with curiosity rather than rules. Longtail is the kind of place you recommend to friends when they ask for somewhere interesting but unpretentious, a restaurant where conversations flow easily and time seems to slow down. The menu is designed for modern dining habits, which means you can enjoy the experience your way, whether that’s dine-in for the full vibe, grabbing takeaway on a busy day, or opting for delivery or no-contact delivery when staying in sounds better. Drinks are a big part of the personality here, and the offerings cover plenty of ground, including thoughtfully selected beer, expressive cocktails, approachable wines, and even coffee for those easing into the evening. What makes Longtail stand out is how naturally everything comes together, as nothing feels forced or overly polished, yet every detail feels intentional. It’s eclectic without being chaotic, lively without being loud, and casual without ever feeling careless. As someone introducing the restaurant, I always describe Longtail as a place that fits into your routine surprisingly fast, whether you’re stopping by after work, meeting friends for drinks, or planning a laid-back meal that still feels special. Set in one of Taipei’s most vibrant neighborhoods, it reflects the city’s creative spirit while staying grounded and welcoming, making it easy to return again and again without needing a special occasion. The eclectic atmosphere encourages curiosity, inviting guests to sample different drinks, share plates, and settle into the space as if it were already familiar, which is exactly why Longtail feels less like a destination and more like part of everyday city life.

Reviews

Longtail Taipei was a well-known Michelin-starred restaurant from 2018 to 2023. In 2024, it entered a new chapter with a refreshed chef team and a soft interior renovation completed in early 2025. The space now features elegant terracotta walls, a sleek marble counter, and striking Japanese kintsugi details creating a refined yet warm setting for a bold new culinary direction. Taking the reins is Chef Eric Chen, who stepped in as Executive Chef at age 35. With previous experience at acclaimed restaurants like RAW and FRASSI, Chef Chen brings a distinct culinary voice that blends Cantonese flavors with North American fire-grilling techniques. His new menu is centered around fermentation and aging, resulting in dishes that are rich, complex, and deeply satisfying. The à la carte format is back, allowing diners to explore more of the menu in one sitting. Portions are on the smaller side, encouraging variety and making it easier to enjoy multiple dishes. Whether it’s a small bite, appetizer, or main course, every plate is executed with precision nothing feels like an afterthought. A marble counter, terracotta walls, and Japanese kintsugi art make a fitting stage for this eclectic culinary adventure. The food seamlessly melds different Asian cooking styles and ingredients, enhanced by modern Western techniques and elegant plating. The bold flavors are well matched by a creative and thoughtful beverage menu. Despite its fine-dining roots, the vibe at Longtail is casual and inviting perfect for a relaxed night out with friends or a special meal with family. A strong comeback and a must-visit for anyone curious about Taipei’s evolving food scene.

Their food overall was quite delicious, I preferred some dishes more than others, specifically the tuna tartare was amazing!!! Some of the dishes sort of lacked depth of flavor, like the fried crystal dumpling, it was also slightly greasy. I found the pineapple pork and egg sandwich to be a little confusing in flavors, but still not bad, for me it was a touch too sweet. We really enjoyed the fried pork belly and the beef short rib! Their drinks are really really good! I’m sort of sad I missed out on them when they were 1 star Michelin rating, seems like so much potential here but overall we had a great experience. Plating was beautiful, staff super friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself is also very beautifully decorated. The seats are comfy. Will come back for sure!

Our Longtail experince was superb! The Fig Toast was the higlight and the Beef Tartare was delicious. The Beef Tenderloin was tender and melts in the mouth. Deserving of the Michelin star.
