LA VIE BY THOMAS BÜHNER IN THE MIRROR OF CRITICISM
From the Google reviews, translated from Chinese.
„Ruili should be considered the pinnacle of fine dining in Taiwan. Whether it’s the price or the presentation of the ingredients …“
„The full menu is very enjoyable to eat and each dish is exquisite and beautiful, both visually and in flavour. There aren’t too many artificial ingredients or over-the-top presentation, but you can clearly feel the skill and effort put into the cooking. … Although the price is not cheap, the food, environment and service are really worth the money. This is how a Michelin-starred restaurant should be.“
„The staff were well trained, professional and experienced. The service was more than perfect, … Each dish looked like an individual work of art.“
„I’ve eaten here twice in two months. I definitely want to visit Fine Dining all the time.“
„You can feel the chef’s thoughts and the elements he wants to express in each dish. … The service is also very exquisite and considerate. There is a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. I feel very comfortable. Overall, the cuisine is very skilful, but not ostentatious. Eating for more than three hours was like watching a marvellous concert performance. It’s definitely worth a visit.“
„A smooth and comfortable dining experience, the overall atmosphere is elegant and meticulous, LA VIE has an amazing command of ingredients and cooking methods and every detail of the dish is a testament to flavour, nobility and sophistication. Will visit again another day.“

„Legendary German Michelin-starred chef Thomas Bühner (one of the 100 most famous chefs in the world) will move his restaurant „La Vie“, which has been awarded three Michelin stars for seven consecutive years, from Germany to Taipei. The best gourmet restaurant in Taiwan. Everything is perfect. Everything is fantastic. Whether catering, wine accompaniment, service, decoration, furnishing or utensils, everything is exquisite, first-class ingredients, first-class cooking skills, professional and considerate service, you don’t need to say many words, just feel it with your heart.
