The story
Principe, whose name means "principle" in Italian, brings a distinctly refined vision of French cuisine to Genoa. The restaurant, recognized by the Michelin guide, operates with a quiet confidence, welcoming guests into an intimate setting of just twelve seats. Service begins promptly at 18:30, with all diners served together, creating a focused, communal dining experience.
The restaurant's approach is rooted in a philosophy of deconstruction and reconstruction—a "table alchemy" that transforms classic French techniques. While the kitchen draws on French culinary foundations, the menu reflects a thoughtful dialogue with local ingredients and traditions. The result is a tasting menu that evolves with the seasons, priced between NT$3,380 and NT$4,000 plus service. Dishes are built from scratch, with an emphasis on precision and depth of flavor.
Principe offers a private room for groups of four or more, and the restaurant is available for buyouts. For those marking a special occasion, a chiffon fruit cake (four inches, NT$780) can be pre-ordered. The space is also equipped with a projector and screen, available free of charge for private events. With air conditioning and nearby parking, the restaurant balances elegance with practical comfort.
