At the Michelin Guide ceremony in Ho Chi Minh City on June 27, 2024, Michelin awarded stars in Vietnam for the second time. Seven Vietnamese restaurants received a Michelin star.
Four of these restaurants retained their stars from last year: Gia, Hibana By Koki, Tam Vi, and Anan Saigon. The three newly recognized restaurants are Akuna (HCMC), La Maison 1888 (Da Nang), and Le Pavillon Royal (HCMC). Each year, these restaurants undergo a rigorous evaluation process.
The list of Michelin star restaurants in Vietnam in 2025:
Located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Ănăn Saigon blends Vietnamese street food with modern techniques under the guidance of Chef Peter Cuong Franklin. Ănăn, which means "eat eat," uses fresh ingredients and French cooking methods to transform street food into fine dining while maintaining Vietnamese characteristics. A Michelin-starred restaurant in Chợ Cũ, it's housed in a traditional 'tube house' and features a rooftop bar, Pot Au Pho noodle bar, Nhau Nhau cocktail bar, and Anan's modern cuisine.

This Hanoi restaurant stands out for its contemporary approach to Vietnamese cuisine, using modern techniques to reinvent traditional recipes. It’s no surprise that Michelin selected Gia as a starred restaurant in Vietnam—where Vietnamese flavors are reimagined with creativity while staying true to their roots.
