The story
Huí Huí (迴回) occupies a modest space on Dongding Road in Ruifang District, just outside Keelung. The restaurant’s name and setting hint at a retreat—a place where the pace slows. Here, a team of just two people handles both the cooking and the floor, crafting an evening that feels personal and unhurried.
The kitchen focuses on European contemporary cuisine served as small sharing plates. The menu is designed for guests to sample a wide range of flavors rather than a single large dish. Portions are intentionally modest, and for groups of four or more, the restaurant recommends ordering multiple portions of several dishes. This style encourages conversation and a relaxed, wine-driven pace.
Huí Huí’s beverage program centers on natural wines, which are also available for takeaway at a lower price than dine-in. The restaurant does not permit outside alcohol. Given the small team, dishes take time to prepare—the owners make clear that this is not a spot for a quick meal. Instead, they hope diners will settle in with a glass of wine and enjoy a long, easy evening. For those who wish to drink without driving, the team can arrange taxi pickups from Ruifang Station or other locations.
In 2026, Huí Huí earned a Michelin Recommended mention, a nod to its focused, heartfelt cooking and distinctive atmosphere. Reservations open on the 10th of each month at 8 PM for the following month, with a deposit required. The space is intimate—maximum five guests per party—and private events can accommodate up to 16. Pets are welcome on the floor, but the restaurant notes that its long dining times and limited seating may not suit every child.
Huí Huí offers a rare kind of dining: intimate, attentive, and centered on the pleasure of shared plates and good wine. It is a restaurant that asks for your time and rewards it generously.
