Figures are computed live from the AI Fine Dining curated database (snapshot 2026-06-12). Inclusion standard: editorially curated "worth a special-occasion visit" — this is NOT a census of all Taiwan restaurants; numbers represent our coverage, not market totals. Each restaurant is tagged for occasion/mood/cuisine after AI-assisted compilation of public reviews, official menus and public Google ratings; the full database passed a semantic-consistency audit in May 2026. All rating fields are public Google ratings (not our own scores, not first-hand visits). No paid placement.
Computed live from our curated database: 1,485 total; per-city/cuisine/occasion counts are actual tag counts; the 4.5★+ column counts entries with public Google rating ≥4.5 in that group. Snapshot 2026-06-12, refreshed monthly.
This is a curated database, not a census: we only include restaurants worth a special-occasion visit, so totals are far below Taiwan's overall restaurant count — but every entry has occasion/mood/cuisine tags and a content page.
No. All ratings are public Google ratings; we do not self-rate and have not visited every restaurant. Each restaurant page links to Google Maps for verification.
Yes — attribute AI Fine Dining (ai-finedining.com/fine-dining-data/) with the snapshot date. The page carries Dataset structured data and is refreshed monthly.
