First, I must say, Fleua de Sel French restaurant ,truly lives up to its Michelin-starred reputation. Everything, from the service, the food, the cleanliness, and the meticulous attention to detail, was impressively refined!

Today, We chose two autumn tasting menus:

1.	Longan wood chargrilled pigeon / Persimmon / Salmis sauce
2.	Pan-fried Australian beef filet / Potato / Black peppercorns / Red wine sauce

The amuse-bouche was a delightful start, with each bite both visually appealing and flavorful. The mini apple, with its perfect balance of sweet and sour, was especially captivating and truly awakened our appetite!

My first recommendation would be the Crab Meat Salad: crab meat encased in a yuzu-flavored shell, topped with avocado ice cream. Tasting them together was extraordinary—the rich flavor of the crab, the citrusy yuzu, and the creamy avocado all harmonized in the mouth, creating a complex yet surprisingly cohesive flavor profile. This dish truly outshined the octopus!

Another standout was the Roast Duck Consommé with Asian Mixed Leaves. Made by slow-cooking an entire duck, the broth was rich and robust, with comforting warmth. This was served with a duck meat dumpling and was an option paired with beef tongue.
As for the first main course, Butterfish with Caviar (likely French) served with a lemon butter sauce, was exceptional. The acidic notes of the lemon combined with the creamy butter sauce enhanced the fresh, oceanic flavor of the fish and the caviar. It felt as if I had been transported back to the sea, with the silky smoothness of the sauce adding an almost airy, foam-like texture in the mouth. This was an outstanding dish!

The other main, Abalone , featured South African abalone, which takes 8-10 years to reach a size suitable for consumption, paired with a rich mushroom risotto. Although I’ve lived abroad for years, this dish brought me back to my roots with its nostalgic taste and texture reminiscent of the rice my grandmother used to make. This may sound understated, but this was undoubtedly my top dish of the evening. I felt a deep sense of warmth and appreciation, as if all the hardships I’ve faced were somehow acknowledged and comforted by this one dish. Perhaps it was a hint of sesame oil or the abalone liver crisps, but regardless, I’m deeply grateful to the chef for creating this soul-warming dish on the autumn menu. 🙏
Regarding the Australian premium filet, I suspect the steak was sous-vide before being seared. Having tried many fillets around the world, I’d like to offer a bit of feedback here. While the filet was cooked to perfection, my experience with the wine pairing was a bit mixed. I initially asked for the wine list, but perhaps because I appeared younger, they only mentioned two pairing options—one with three glasses and another with four, including dessert, with explanations of the respective prices.
I’d suggest the restaurant reconsider this approach, as wine preferences, especially for pairing with main courses, can be quite personal. The light French red wine served with the Australian filet, while fine, was not an ideal match, in my view. Given the quality of the meal, why not pair it with a bold red from South Australia? The depth and richness of a South Australian red would elevate the premium Australian filet to another level. I understand that restaurants often curate pairings with specific intentions, possibly even budget considerations, but a South Australian wine would better complement this exceptional filet, bringing out the chef’s skill even more profoundly. For a Michelin-starred establishment, guests are unlikely to forgo an ideal pairing due to minor cost differences, so I recommend exploring a slight adjustment to the main course wine .
I noticed that the entire menu incorporates green elements, reflecting the chef’s meticulous approach to flavor and presentation. I greatly admire the chef’s artistry and extend my gratitude to the entire team for their high level of service.
I’ll certainly return on my next vacation to Taiwan. 👍👍👍👍👍

I recently dined at Fleur de Sel while celebrating my friend's birthday, and it was an exceptional experience. The restaurant kindly prepared a birthday cake for my friend, which made the occasion even more special. The service was superb, with staff clearly explaining each dish to us, enhancing our dining experience.

As a vegetarian, I was delighted to find that they offered a vegetarian set menu, which is quite rare in fine dining. The dishes were thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. Overall, the service was excellent and the attention to detail was impressive. Highly recommend Fleur de Sel for a memorable fine dining experience!

For me, the spring 2024 menu was better than the fall 2023 menu. If I remember correctly, it's lighter, more flavorful and more creative.  The service is nice but I feel the place has too many tables for the space. At full capacity it gets pretty noisy

“Highly recommended for that special occasion with your special someone. “

The services and the asking price definitely were worth the Michelin title. Taste is a subjective thing, but we did find those dish designs can be a bit repetitive (e.g use of the “sauce rings” on the plates). Although there were some (good) surprises along the way, I was expecting for more “fairy dust sprinkling” moments. Perhaps in their next season’s menu?

Overall an amazing experience from the food and services, also thanks Fleur de Sel for celebrating the special occasion with us.

I had the pleasure of dining here and I must say, the experience was truly remarkable. From the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine, everything was top-notch. The restaurant even has a special parking lot for its guests, which is a great convenience.

The French-inspired dishes were a work of art, and the chef's attention to detail and use of high-quality ingredients truly shone through in each dish. Every bite was an explosion of flavors, and the creativity behind each dish was truly impressive.

Not only were the dishes delicious, but the presentation was beautiful and elegant. It was like enjoying a piece of art with each course. Although the prices were on the higher side, the chef and servers were happy to share their techniques and stories behind each dish, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, I highly recommend Fleur de Sel for anyone looking for a dining experience that is both luxurious and creative.
