雋
Kaohsiung's first Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant, specializing in set menus and signature crispy roast pigeon, ideal for formal gatherings.
GEN was awarded one Michelin star in 2024, becoming Kaohsiung's first starred Cantonese restaurant, and remains on the one-star list for 2026. From 2026, it is led by an experienced Hong Kong chef, blending classic Cantonese techniques with innovative dishes, offering set menus at three price points as well as à la carte options. The signature crispy roast pigeon uses pigeons sourced from Southern Taiwan, prepared using the oil-dousing method to ensure crispy skin and tender meat. The hand-shelled mud crab with shrimp broth rice vermicelli and the aged tangerine peel sweet and sour pork are also highly recommended. The dining space is spacious and bright, with horse sculptures echoing the restaurant's name. Reservations can be made online or by phone. Lunch sets previously started from NT$2,680; please check with the restaurant for current pricing. The restaurant is located on Fuxing 4th Road in Qianzhen District.
