I really enjoyed the dinner. Great that so much is locally sourced. Yet the clam in the fish dish and the bonito I found was a tad bit off. Everything else was great.

Saw some negative reviews going in so was a little apprehensive but absolutely delicious series of dishes. Highly recommend. Service was great, loved the atmosphere and fit-out, excellent wine served by a knowledgeable sommelier. Also the presentation of each dish was gorgeous. We loved it.

I really enjoyed the whole experience over the course of 2.5 hours at MUME. The dishes were carefully prepared and plated, with a focus on flavours, textures and colours. Each dish was unique but worked well hand in hand as a dinner course and you progressed through it. Definitely worth the visit, and I think the more casual atmosphere also helps to appeal towards a younger crowd. The cocktails were interesting, so definitely consider them to go along with your dinner course!

A unanimous vote of 'one of the best meals of our lives' was present in my group. MUME is underrated and I would 10/10 travel just to Taipei to have another meal there. Not only was the food memorable, but the service was impeccable and their craft beers and cocktails were curated and thoughtful.

In NYC this would be the average "farm to table" restaurant you find every 2 blocks. Nothing daring, special, creative or inventive. Yes, the food is fresh and high quality but the chef is playing it too safe. I found the quail to be tough - quail is very difficult to cook right and if you are not certain you can master it, it's better to omit it from menu. I didn't like having to get my own utensils from the table drawer. For a Michelin star restaurant (and top 50 in Asia restaurant), servers should handle everything for the patrons. In short, I'm glad I tried it but it was a very forgettable experience.

Tucked in a quiet lane in Da ‘An district, an unassuming restaurant with dim ambient lighting, brass fixtures and wooden textures, and a small bar at the entrance, is Mume. I’m specifically intrigued by their savoury cocktails, so we ordered “Croissant”, a buttery and fruity rum-based and “New York Strip”, a smokey and silky whiskey-based with frothy beef drippings. The tasting menu consists of 10 courses (2 of which are sweets and 4 are seafood). I really didn’t mind the focus on a surf menu because I am all about the “umami” and each course was delectably savoury! I also particularly like the use of Chinese cuisine ingredients such as pickled radish, preserved mustard greens, water bamboo and olives – which really amped up the flavour profile and left a very well balanced palate. The abalone and cuttlefish were my 2 favourite dishes. Definitely will come back on my next visit to Taipei!

Everything was perfect on that night.
Food was innovative and undoubtedly delicious. A great combination of western/ modern cooking techniques with touches of traditional/ locally sourced ingredients.
I also ordered wine pairing with 4 glasses of wine. Every single one goes with the dish very well. A very good work from a talented sommelier.
And or course staff was friendly and the service was meticulous.
No wonder so many awards and recommendations, no one should miss it.
