This marks the first time that the number of Michelin-starred restaurants in Viet Nam has reached double digits, highlighting the country’s rapid rise on the global culinary map.
The two new additions among the 11 one-star restaurants recognised during the Michelin Guide’s fourth edition in Viet Nam are ONVIT in Ha Noi and Upstairs in Ho Chi Minh City.
The remaining nine restaurants retained their one-star status after receiving the distinction in previous editions: Gia, Hibana by Koki, and Tam Vi in Ha Noi; Long Trieu, Anan Sai Gon, Akuna, CieL, and Coco Dining in Ho Chi Minh City; and La Maison 1888 in Da Nang.
This year, a total of 193 establishments across Ha Noi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City were honoured by the Michelin Guide in various categories.
The Michelin Guide first introduced its restaurant star rating system in 1926, a milestone that helped shape the way the world dines, travels, and celebrates culinary excellence.
All dining establishments included in the Michelin Guide selection are assessed and rated by anonymous inspectors according to five globally consistent criteria: the quality of ingredients, mastery of cooking techniques, harmony of flavours, the chef’s personality as expressed through the cuisine, and consistency both over time and across the menu.
Widely regarded as the world’s most prestigious dining guide, the Michelin Guide not only recognises culinary craftsmanship but also celebrates exceptional gastronomic experiences around the globe.
The Michelin Guide currently features restaurants in more than 40 countries and territories. Published for the first time in 1900 by the French tyre manufacturer Michelin, the guide was created to help international travellers and local diners discover the world’s finest restaurants, while promoting gastronomy and tourism. This year’s selected restaurants are expected to further enhance the international standing of Vietnamese cuisine and tourism on the global stage.
