The Fine Dining restaurant, located at the Weiwuying National Arts and Culture Center, is meticulously crafted by Chef Jason. The restaurant's concept is derived from local elements and is named after the blue whale in Taiwanese, reflecting its location in the culturally rich city of Kaohsiung, known for its marine heritage. The interior design incorporates natural elements such as wooden collages and fiber weavings, showcasing the spirit of craftsmanship.

Atelier CHUZI, inspired by the characteristics of the blue whale, has designed bamboo weavings in dual colors and streamlined patterns that echo the unique texture of the blue whale's lower abdomen. These "vertical pleats" are the fatty layers within the blue whale's skin, which provide buoyancy during diving and reduce resistance while swimming.

The intricate and transparent bamboo weavings exhibit the majestic and agile qualities of the blue whale. Suspended in the space, they seem to embody the creativity of the culinary artists, guiding us through a journey of taste exploration.

位於衛武營國家藝術文化中心的Fine Dining餐廳由主廚Jason精心打造而成。餐廳主軸取自在地元素，店名以台語的藍鯨命名，呼應了餐廳位於海洋文化豐富的高雄。室內裝潢風格融入木拼貼、纖維編織等自然元素，展現著職人手作的精神。

Atelier CHUZI以藍鯨的特質為概念，設計了雙色的竹編與流線編紋，與藍鯨下腹部特殊紋理的縱行摺形成呼應。這些「縱行褶」是藍鯨皮膚內的脂肪層，能夠在潛水時保持浮力，同時減少游泳時的阻力。細緻通透的竹編紋安排展現了藍鯨壯觀而靈巧的特質。它們懸掛在空間中，彷彿是料理創意人的化身，引領我們悠遊於味蕾探索之中。
