There’s only one Michelin-starred ice cream shop in the world. And it’s in Taiwan
kraken

Taiwan’s growth as a fine dining destination shows no signs of slowing, as evidenced by the island’s latest Michelin Guide.

Ten new establishments received stars in the 2024 edition – taking the total number of Michelin-starred restaurants on the island to 49.

But one of them in particular really stands out.

Minimal, in the city of Taichung, is the world’s first and only ice cream establishment to receive a Michelin star.Set in an alley next to the city’s tree-lined Calligraphy Greenway boulevard, its spartan gray and dark charcoal façade makes it look more like a Nordic architecture firm than a dessert shop.

The two-story venue has both a takeaway outlet and a dine-in section that offers a seven-course tasting menu.

“Focusing on ice and ice cream, the restaurant skillfully layers flavors and textures through temperature variations and creative combinations, using unique local ingredients from Taiwan,” says the Michelin Guide’s write-up of Minimal.

“The meticulous flavors, delicacy and mature, skilful techniques all impressed us and reached a higher level, warranting a Michelin star.”
