Anyone know how to reserve at RAW Taipei?

Haii everyone~

I am new to this forum so excuse me for my poor etiquette but I’m in dire need of answers, as I’ve tried the conventional way of finding information “google” I have found myself reach a wall, and just so you know my chinese ability sucks so don’t expect me to even search using chinese :cry:. But I came accross forumosa and I’m very happy that I could ask fellow foreigners or Taiwanese to help me find the solution to this.
So as the title suggest, how do you reserve a 2 person seat in the 2 michelin star restaurant by Andre Chiang, RAW Taipei. And I’m not talking about the reserve system in their website but through these “AGENTS” people are referring about :thinking:. It would be a big help If you could tell me how to contact one of them~

Bonus question : How much does the menu cost? I believe there’s 1850 ntd and 2680 ntd meal course excluding the wine addons. But there’s the new Andre Is Back menu, is it the same one or just for 2680?

Sorry can’t help with the “agents”, since I simply used the RAW booking website when I went there.

But just wondering, while we wait for an answer: what is this agent thing, and why would one prefer it over the booking system? My experience with that system was good, despite people claiming it’s “impossible to get reservations, booked months in advance”…

Haii~

I’m also not that familiar with this so called agents but I do read it once in an article and it said that it would be VERY VERY HARD to get a reservation through their website as a lot of agencies are constantly booking them~ atleast that’s what I read it from.

Can you tell me how you booked it in more detail? Cause every time I go there it’s always full even though now RAW has opened till 3 months in advance, still no hope. Thank you for your reply :smiley:

Ah I see.

Uhm… I went to the reservation website, looked for the next free tables, and booked one. But: that was maybe two years ago. Looks like nowadays indeed nothing available over that website.

Maybe check at exactly 12 noon, when they update cancellations - and be super quick?

Try blowing the maitre’d.

If it works for a bear, it’ll work for you. (Pun intended)

That sounds interesting! I might have to do that haha, but if you don’t mind can you tell me how to contact them :sweat_smile:, I’m not associated with any of the employees there lol.

If the restaurant is that popular, the food will probably be disappointing. Just a general rule in the Taipei dining scene.

Thank you for your reply~ if you don’t mind can you share some restaurants in Taipei that has great fine dining experience with delicious food :sweat_smile:, I’m running out of options…

Preferably a modern europe restaurant that serves set meals rather than just 1 meal.

Le Blanc. Reservations go fast but it’s not impossible like Raw. Also, during the week should make the reservation easier.

Bellini does decent Italian. Be sure to go to the one on Fuxing N. Road.

Robuchon is OK for French.
