What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
ZEA offers a highly praised fine dining experience with a unique fusion of Argentinian and Taiwanese flavors. Diners rave about the inventive dishes, impeccable service, and the captivating open kitchen. While most find the culinary journey exceptional, some note that dishes veering towards typical Taiwanese fusion can be less successful than those rooted in the chef's heritage.
"One of the best fine dining experience in Taiwan. Perfect blend of Taiwanese ingredients and South American cuisines. Joaquin and Di are both great host. Will definitely come back again."

"Liked the open kitchen, can see the choreography of the brigade. Incredible crescendo of flavours. The chocolate dessert was a bomb. Very nice wine pairing too, first time I did really like South American wines. Attentive service."

"January 2025
Our dining experience here was absolutely delightful! Every course was delicious and inventive. It was clear that exceptional service was a priority here - from the attention to detail, the little personalized note in the end and the gift bag, they went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dining experience. I had mentioned in my reservation that I was allergic to shellfish and still hoped to dine at the restaurant, even though they typically don’t accommodate food allergies. I was happy to skip any courses if necessary. They offered to remove the allergen from one of my courses. To my surprise, although they couldn’t modify one other course, they offered me a complimentary drink pairing course in its place. It was an incredibly thoughtful and unexpected gesture—and I was absolutely thrilled."
