"The 45th-floor Xinyi steakhouse with a 36oz tomahawk and Taipei 101 views — book it for a team dinner that impresses."
About Morton's The Steakhouse
Forty-five floors up, with Taipei 101 filling the window. Morton's brought its Chicago steakhouse to the top of Breeze Xinyi in 2016, at No. 68 Section 5 Zhongxiao East Road, and the view is half the reason to book. This is the Taipei outpost of the chain founded in Chicago in 1978, and we treat it as a dependable power-dinner room in our Taipei dining guide and our guide to the best steakhouses worldwide. For what separates a great room from a merely good one, read the seven signs of a great restaurant.
The Kitchen
Morton's is a chain, and it does not pretend a celebrity chef is at the pass; the Taipei kitchen runs the same USDA prime playbook the brand has cooked since 1978. What it does, it does consistently. The signature is the 36oz tomahawk ribeye, sliced and served tableside to share, alongside the Cajun ribeye and the double-cut filet mignon. Start with the jumbo shrimp cocktail or bacon-wrapped sea scallops, and finish with the Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake, a molten dessert that has been on Morton's menus for decades. Pricing is firmly premium: the three-course Steak and Seafood menu runs NT$2,988, while à la carte steaks climb from around NT$1,000 to the NT$8,000 to 10,000 range for the big cuts, all subject to a 10 percent service charge. The room sits on the 45th floor of Breeze Xinyi at No. 68 Section 5 Zhongxiao East Road, where it opened in 2016. You are paying for dry-aged American beef cooked correctly and a view of Taipei 101, not for invention. As steakhouses go, that is a fair trade for a business table.
The Room
The draw is the height: floor-to-ceiling glass on the 45th floor with Taipei 101 close enough to feel like a centrepiece, plus an outdoor terrace for cocktails. Inside it is classic Morton's, with dark wood, leather banquettes and white linen, lit low and warm. The sound level is a comfortable hum, with tables spaced for private conversation and large booths that suit groups. Dress is smart to business; jackets are common at dinner though not strictly required. It is a big room that handles corporate parties and private events without feeling crowded. Ask for a window table at sunset.
Best for a Team Dinner
Book Morton's for a team dinner for three reasons: the 45th-floor view gives the night an occasion before the food arrives, the shareable cuts like the 36oz tomahawk are built for a table to pass around, and the private rooms and set menus make billing and headcount simple. A typical scene: a dozen people around a long table, the tomahawk carved tableside, bottles of Napa red, and the Taipei 101 light show through the glass. It works the same way for impressing clients who expect a steakhouse done properly. Pre-order the set menu to keep the evening moving.
Not for
Not for a tight budget or a quiet date: prices are high and carry a 10 percent service charge, and the big room is built for groups and views, not intimacy.
Frequently Asked
Is Morton's The Steakhouse Taipei worth it?
It depends on what you want. For a reliable, well-executed American steakhouse with a 45th-floor view of Taipei 101, yes; for cutting-edge cooking or value, no. Morton's serves consistent USDA prime beef, a 36oz tomahawk carved tableside and the brand's hot chocolate cake, all at premium prices. For a business dinner or a celebration where the room matters, it earns its place. See our best steakhouses guide.
How hard is it to book Morton's Taipei?
Not hard, with some planning for prime times. Morton's takes reservations on OpenTable, by phone and through its site, and weeknights are usually available a few days out. Weekend dinners and window tables at sunset go first, so book those a week or more ahead. For groups or private rooms, contact the restaurant directly; it handles corporate events regularly. It serves lunch and dinner daily.
What is the dress code at Morton's Taipei?
Smart to business casual, with jackets common but not required. Morton's is a polished steakhouse on the 45th floor of Breeze Xinyi, so a collared shirt and trousers or a dress are right, and many diners come from the office in business attire. Neat smart-casual is acceptable at dinner. For a client dinner or a celebration, most people dress up a little.
What is the average meal price at Morton's Taipei?
The three-course Steak and Seafood menu is NT$2,988 per person, while à la carte steaks run from around NT$1,000 to NT$8,000 to 10,000 for the largest cuts, all plus a 10 percent service charge. With starters, sides and wine, a full à la carte dinner easily reaches NT$4,000 to NT$6,000 a head. It sits at the expensive end of Taipei steakhouses, with the view built into the price.
What should I order at Morton's Taipei?
Order the 36oz tomahawk ribeye if you are a group; it is carved and served tableside to share. Solo or as a pair, the Cajun ribeye or the double-cut filet are the cuts to get, with the jumbo shrimp cocktail to start and the Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake to finish. Add a Napa or Bordeaux red.
