"Sur- moved to Central district in 2023 and now occupies the third floor of a quaint building. The minimalist room dotted with wooden furniture and vintage couches sports dark colours. The owner-chef elevates everyday Taiwanese ingredients to haute cuisine using traditional techniques like tempering, charbroiling and smoking in the tasting menu that changes every season. The wine and zero-proof pairings are highly recommended." - Michelin Inspector

I had a day trip to Taichung and had the pleasure of dining at the Michelin starred Sur. The use of local produce done in creative refreshing ways were delightful and delicious. Do come by should you be in Taichung!

Modern, elevated interpretation of traditional Taiwanese cuisine. Thoughtful use of local ingredients that showcases the flavors and quality. The space is set in a preserved historical building. The server explained the concept behind the decor and the restaurant’s objective to create a comfortable space. 😋 The dishes are full of innovation and fun details. Most importantly, they taste delicious and you will be full by the end of the meal (don’t be deceived by the small portions 😂). 🍷 Interesting wine pairing and we appreciate the flexibility of the sommelier in accommodating our preferences. It would have been great to have a wider wine list (for ordering by the bottle), but I understand the restaurant’s desire to create a curated experience where they can control the pairing. Overall an enjoyable fine dining restaurant that I would recommend. The house made fortune cookies was a fun touch to wrap up the meal 🥠 If you are familiar with Taiwanese cuisine, the meal will be particularly resonating - it certainly plucked at my heartstrings.

IG: @jojo_gourmand I usually walk into restaurants serving contemporary takes on traditional cuisine with skepticism—too often, European techniques dilute the character that gives it identity. But Sur- proved me wrong. Chef Ed Lin deftly applies the French approach of building depth through sauces, reductions, and precise seasoning to amplify Taiwanese flavors without severing their roots. It’s nuanced, modern, and unmistakably local. The highlight? Honestly, the whole tasting menu—which is a rarity. What happens when you teach Taiwanese flavors to speak a little bit French? 🗺️ Taiwanese Contemporary ⭐️ Michelin One-Starred 🏷️ NT$4000+

Great place for a creative Taiwanese dinner. Fresh seasonal ingredients, warm and professional service, and mixture of old and modern interior design.

Sur is undoubtedly my top three favorite restaurants in Taichung. I’ve been dining at Sur ever since their soft opening couple years ago and the menu has really gone through a huge evolution. There is always so much excitement into discovering a new ingredient that I’ve never eaten before..not to mention very out of the blue combinations that just turns out amazing! The Chef puts in so much hard work and effort in creating new dishes that I’ve been coming back every season to try what’s new. I’m really in awe in his effort to educate his customers about the culture of Taichung (through new immigrant flavor), sustainability, and what type of food to each during each season. I highly recommend Sur!

I didn’t set any expectations before visit Sur, but its services and food quality really made up good dining experiences. I was impressed by the non-alcoholic mocktail pairing where it’s gave me another level of understanding of Taiwanese teas. My favorite non-alcoholic drink of the night was 3rd drink - Jinxuan tea mixed with white gourd,bergamot and orange blossom. As for food, I would recommend the Spring roll, and Goose dish 😋.

This is a Taiwanese cuisine with some creative thinking. The chef does work hard to present the creative ideas. However, it’s still a long way to go for further improvement. It’s supposed to be 4 stars, but without wine pairing so losing one star. Good food should be paired with suitable wines. All the names of plates are with typical Taiwanese familiar dishes. If it was opened in Taipei, it might have attracted more customers with the current price range.

A cozy and beautiful space with a creative prix fixe menu and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic pairing options. A lot of elements of local culture and ingredients are incorporated in the food and drink which makes it almost a little nostalgic. Everything was good and the presentation was beautiful. The staff is super friendly as well.
