Vietnam’s food is taking center stage—not just in markets and street corners, but under the glow of Michelin. In 2025, nine restaurants earned their first or maintained Michelin stars across Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. These accolades reflect an exciting culinary evolution, offering exceptional experiences at every price point.
Culinary evolution: where tradition meets innovation
Vietnam’s dining transformation is rooted in its street‑food culture. Iconic dishes like pho, bun cha, and banh mi have long been national treasures—now they serve as a bridge to refined gastronomy.
- Pho received national recognition in 2024 and has become a creative muse—even inspiring culinary cocktails.
- In cities like Ho Chi Minh, fine-dining chefs still lean on street flavors, such as Anan Saigon’s pho topped with wagyu and bone marrow.
Today’s chefs—educated overseas or inspired by global cuisine—see Vietnam’s bounty as a launchpad. The result is menus that blend tradition, innovation, and presentation: a truly modern food identity.
