Features:
French chef Yannick Alléno - awarded 3 Michelin stars for his work at Hotel Le Meurice in 2007, and elected Chef of the year by his peers in 2008. Started his own development in 2008, the Group Yannick Alléno.

Comments:
We originally wanted to book for the restaurant dining 'S.T.A.Y' (Simple Table Alléno Yannick) that was located on the next floor up but had limited time to schedule in a full lunch or dinner in this short weekend trip having prioritized other places, so decided to settle for the afternoon tea at their french tea room Sweet Tea.

NTD1200 for the afternoon tea set I thought was a little expensive comparing to tea sets at some other higher end hotels that offered a lot more, but guess you have to pay the price for a more well known chef. Did it pay off? Well, not really as expected.


in the open area on the 4th floor of the Taipei 101 shopping mall



Afternoon tea set for 2 NTD1200 (plus tax)
