Michelin officially unveiled the 2025 restaurant selection of the MICHELIN Guide Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang at the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort. The 2025 edition underscores Vietnam’s growing stature as a global gastronomic destination.

“This year, we are proud to witness a rise in the number of Starred restaurants, driven by a new generation of talented chefs. Many are returning to their roots, using modern techniques to tell stories of their hometowns and to revive childhood flavors. At the same time, street food stalls, family-run eateries, and long-standing local shops continue to preserve culinary traditions with authenticity and passion,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. “For our inspectors, the journey of discovering new restaurants in Vietnam remains as exciting as ever. They have been inspired by the dedication, creativity, and pursuit of excellence shown by culinary professionals across the country — and they are eager to uncover even more gems in the years to come.”

Lamai Garden: Hanoi’s First Restaurant to Earn the MICHELIN Green Star
Within the MICHELIN Guide restaurant selection, the MICHELIN Green Star rewards the initiatives of groundbreaking restaurants that fully commit to rethinking their impact and encouraging a strong gastronomic transition. Lamai Garden is newly awarded the MICHELIN Green Star for their remarkable philosophy and commitment towards a more eco-friendly approach to gastronomy. Reimagined by chef-owner Hieu Trung Tran in 2022, the restaurant serves a seasonal tasting menu and vegetarian menu in line with a contemporary Vietnamese farm-to-table concept. Diners pass through a garden to the dining area with counter seating by the open kitchen. They use ingredients from their Phú Thọ farm – garden herbs, ducks, and black pigs. The squid "noodle", inspired by Phở Chua, highlights the chef's creativity.
