At the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, the Hotel & Hospitality Dining category honours destinations where cuisine and travel intertwine. From Saigon’s skyline rooftops to seaside tables on pristine shores, these restaurants and bars transform every stay into a memory — where each flavour tells a story of place, culture and artistry.

Every memorable journey begins with a place that inspires. Vietnam, with its rich cultural tapestry and breathtaking landscapes, has become a stage where hotels, resorts, and destinations transform travel into something deeper—an experience where culture, comfort, and innovation intertwine. From glittering city skylines to tranquil coastal retreats, the country’s finest establishments are shaping experiences that resonate long after guests depart.

Regent Phu Quoc’s signature scenographic pop-up dining experience, Taste Studio, returns this November with A Spectrum of Contrasts. The immersive event merges gastronomy, art, dance, and music into a choreographed sensory journey inspired by Vietnamese culture and the harmony of dualities. 

Amid Saigon’s restless energy, three new destinations invite pause. NÚC Kitchen & Bar, ÚNU Cocktails & Eatery, and Ômm Mixology Saigon transcend dining and drinking, transforming hospitality into philosophies of craft, memory, and reverence. Together they mark a shift toward intimacy, storytelling, and mindfulness in Vietnam’s evolving culinary scene
