ZEA Modern Latin American Fine Dining

14/09/2026

Receiving One Knife from The Best Chef Awards is a meaningful milestone for us. Now that the plaque has arrived at the restaurant, it marks a new chapter on our wall.

It is a quiet encouragement to stay true to our work, our philosophy, and the collective effort behind every service — continuing to share what is meaningful to us.

Danny, our Sommelier, shares what makes a w**e worth sharing with our guests.

We take pairing as an essential part of a complete dining experience at ZEA, and Danny helps bridge the connection between our gastronomy and the w**e universe.

He has worked alongside Chef Joaquin for four years already. When he first joined us, our cuisine was relatively unfamiliar territory for him. Over the years, through tasting and understanding ZEA’s intentions, ingredients, flavours, and cultural references, he gradually developed a deeper understanding of our Latin American identity.

This curiosity naturally extended into w**e. He began exploring Latin American producers, regions, and grape varieties more closely, discovering a world of w**e that offered far more diversity than he had previously encountered. As his understanding of our cuisine grew, so did the dialogue between the kitchen and the cellar, allowing Danny to bring his own expertise and perspective into each new menu.

His approach to w**e selection is personal. Rather than choosing a bottle simply because it pairs well with a dish, he chooses labels that he genuinely wants to share with our guests—labels that tell a story of terroir, tradition, heritage, the character of a specific year, or the philosophy of the maker.

At ZEA, Chef interprets nature, while Danny completes the experience with vibrant, soulful storytelling and graceful, intuitive hospitality

We are deeply honoured to receive one MICHELIN Star once again.

Retaining this recognition reminds us that there is always more to learn, refine, and discover within our identity.

With every service, we continue to look more closely at how we can better showcase Taiwan’s treasures, create space for meaningful collaborations with local artisans and producers, and approach every detail with greater care.

We move forward with humility and curiosity, believing that meaningful growth is not about reaching perfection, but about becoming more thoughtful, precise, and true to who we are.

Four years ago, we opened our doors with a simple dream: to share the flavors, stories, and ingredients of Latin America through the lens of Taiwan.

Today, we are deeply honored to retain our Michelin Star for the fourth consecutive year.

This recognition belongs first and foremost to our team, whose dedication, discipline, and care make every service possible. It also belongs to the farmers, fishermen, artisans, and producers who place their trust in us and whose work inspires everything we do.

Most importantly, thank you to our guests. Your support allows us to continue exploring, learning, and growing.

We remain committed to cooking with honesty, curiosity, and respect for the ingredients, traditions, and people that shape our cuisine.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Join the ZEA Team.

At ZEA, we believe curiosity and genuine hospitality are at the heart of every great experience.

We are looking for an Assistant Sommelier—or someone passionate about w**e and hospitality who is ready to grow into the role.

Working closely with our Head Sommelier, Danny, you will receive daily mentorship while becoming part of a beverage program that explores the dialogue between Latin America and Taiwan through carefully curated w**es, thoughtful non-alcoholic pairings, and genuine hospitality.

Whether you're already working in w**e or looking to take your first serious step into the world of fine dining, we value attitude, commitment, and the willingness to learn above all else.

If you believe hospitality is a craft, we'd love to meet you.

Please send your CV and a brief introduction to [email protected]

Over the past four years, we’ve been taking small steps, learning more about Taiwan, and about ourselves along the way.

With each passing year, we’ve grown to understand who we are a little better, growing together with the people who have become part of this project and this journey.

What began as an idea slowly became a space shaped by countless hands, conversations, discoveries, late nights, and moments of genuine connection around a table.

Every season has changed us. Every producer, farmer, fisherman, artisan, guest, and team member has left something behind that now lives within ZEA.

Through ingredients, memories, landscapes, and stories, Taiwan continues to teach us humility, patience, and curiosity.

To everyone who has sat at our table, trusted our vision, supported us quietly from afar, or worked alongside us with care and intention — thank you. Your presence has allowed us to continue evolving while staying honest to who we are.

Four years later, we still feel like we are only at the beginning. And maybe that feeling is what keeps us moving forward.

Gracias por caminar con nosotros.

We came across a passionate plantain producer in Kaohsiung, and the idea was born as soon as we got our hands on this treasure.

In Central America, plantains are enjoyed at every stage—from verdes to maduros, from green all the way to overripe.

We decided to create a dessert that showcases the full spectrum of this beautiful fruit.

At the base, we start with a mazamorra of panela (unrefined cane sugar), plantain, and spices, prepared when the fruit is just ripe.

Surrounding it, a crispy tuile made from overripe plantain flesh.

On top, tostones made from green plantains.

And to make the most of this precious ingredient, an ice cream crafted from plantain skins.

Taiwanese ingredients inevitably intertw**e with Latin American traditions.
