What to know | What's on Ruth's Chris's 2026 Fall Set Menu? Dazhi Branch Also Houses Lee Kuo-Min Photography

Ruth's Chris Steak House launched its limited-time fall set menu on October 16, 2026, opening with garlic escargot paired with artichoke, followed by a choice of filet, ribeye, or New York strip steak, and finishing with pumpkin cheesecake. Another noteworthy element lies at the Dazhi branch: the restaurant permanently houses Lee Kuo-Min's photography collection '30 Years of Devotion,' bringing seasonal dining and long-accumulated photographic work into the same space.

Escargot, Three Steak Cuts, and a Pumpkin Dessert

The main course offers a choice of three cuts—filet, ribeye, or New York strip—each differing in fat distribution and texture: filet is lean and tender, ribeye has evenly marbled fat with rich flavor, while New York strip sits between the two, offering firm chewiness and pronounced meaty flavor. This combination of cuts preserves the core logic of a steakhouse: letting diners choose their main course according to their preferred fat content and texture, rather than limiting options to a single fixed combination. Dessert concludes with pumpkin cheesecake, echoing seasonal autumn ingredients and transitioning the overall flavor arc from the garlic-forward starter and rich steak to a sweeter, creamier finish.

What Does the '30 Years of Devotion' Collection at the Dazhi Branch Document?

'30 Years of Devotion' documents Lee Kuo-Min's photographic career from 1985 to 2015, a timespan entirely different from a single seasonal set menu. According to the restaurant's introduction, this body of work has also been permanently collected by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and the National Center of Photography and Images; viewing the work within the restaurant offers a different viewing context, one that requires understanding the actual display arrangements and on-site opening hours.

According to HSH Group, the Dazhi branch established the concept of 'enjoying art while dining' from its very opening, and the process of finding a suitable work took over a decade to bring this collection to fruition. HSH Group President Robert Ke noted at a related photo event that Lee Kuo-Min's thirty-year photographic journey echoes, along a certain timeline, Ruth's Chris's own thirty-plus years of brand operation in Taiwan; the group's CFO Pauline Yang also attended the event alongside the artist.

Planning to Both View the Artwork and Dine on the Set Menu—What Should You Confirm Beforehand?

The menu update and the in-store collection can be considered separately: the fall set menu offers a seasonal dining sequence, while the Dazhi branch's photography collection constitutes a longer-term spatial feature. The work's relationship with public institutional collections offers a lead for further exploring the artist, but this need not be used to pre-judge the dining experience of the restaurant as a whole.

If you specifically want to see '30 Years of Devotion' on this visit, you need to confirm the dining and viewing arrangements at the Dazhi branch specifically—this collection should not be assumed to extend to other branches. If you're mainly visiting for the fall set menu, you can inquire about the set menu's contents, pricing, and daily availability based on your preferred steak cut. The dining options and the artwork's location are two separate pieces of information, and checking them separately is what turns a reason to look beyond the menu into a concrete plan.
