The Gourmet Vietnam Awards return with a spotlight on creativity, passion, and talent across the country’s vibrant dining scene. This year, the People’s Choice categories invite food lovers to champion the chefs whose flavours and philosophies have reshaped the way Vietnam eats. From Italian mastery to French finesse, from bold Vietnamese reimaginings to soulful storytelling, these culinary leaders embody the energy and diversity of modern gastronomy.

Following the success of its first season, Gourmet Vietnam Awards returns for Season 2 with a new collection of names and stories to celebrate. The Best Fine Dining Restaurant nominees reflect a dining scene that is becoming more confident, more personal and, above all, more exciting. 

“Italian technique, Vietnamese ingredients and an unwavering belief in the people who produce them. At Si Dining, Chef Alessio Rassom is building more than a restaurant. Through close relationships with farmers, fishermen and local producers, he is exploring what Vietnam’s extraordinary ingredients can become when knowledge, craftsmanship and trust come together.” by Tracie May
