From timeless street food stalls to refined tasting menus, the 2025 MICHELIN Guide once again affirms Vietnam’s place on the global culinary map—this year expanding its recognition across Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang with new Stars, Green Stars, Bib Gourmand entries, and a celebration of local talent. 

In a quiet kitchen above a Saigon street, Chef Hậu Trần redefines fine dining— not with imported truffles or rare caviar, but with the soulful, often overlooked ingredients of his homeland. At The Monkey Gallery DINING, every dish tells a story. A spoonful of fermented paste, a trace of hand-ground salt—these are his brushstrokes, painting Vietnam not as a destination, but as a memory.
