[Taiwan: Taipei] 2* Logy

Rating: 5/5

A brilliant meal at 2* Logy in Taipei at its new location! I had a superb meal at Logy 2 years ago so I definitely wanted to revisit the restaurant on this trip. Originally from Hokkaido, Chef Tahara Ryogo had trained in Italy and worked at Tokyo’s Florilege as sous chef before launching Logy in 2018. The restaurant moved to its new location last year, and it is bigger and better with high ceiling and tables instead of counter seats. Using local seasonal ingredients, the menu celebrates the diversity of Asia while staying true to its Japanese and Taiwanese heritage. Flavors were complex and highly sophisticated - highlights included the crab & mango tart with Shaoxing wine, abalone with apricot kernel & gamtae (inspired by the classic pig’s stomach soup with pepper), lamb with mala spiced sauce made from 18 spices, and the signature crispy eel with chocolate & green Sichuan pepper. The meal was complemented with the excellent wine pairing by Asia’s Best Sommelier Kevin Lu and the non-alcoholic pairing designed by Chef Ryogo himself.
