The story
La Vie by Thomas Bühner is a European contemporary restaurant at No. 200, Lequn 3rd Road, First Floor, in Taipei. The Michelin Guide awarded it one star in 2026 for high quality cooking.
The menu combines ingredients from Taiwan's mountains, fields, rivers and ocean with urban flavors. The kitchen starts from each ingredient's natural taste. Cooks then adjust technique to suit it, and carry flavor through every course so the meal reads as one sequence.
The menus follow the seasons and celebrate the abundance of each period. The restaurant also received Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2025.
