Mr. Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of Michelin Guide, commented: "With 13 new dining establishments receiving Bib Gourmand awards in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City this year, our 2024 selection is an invitation to diners to explore the charm, quality and endless diversity of Vietnamese cuisine." According to Mr. Gwendal Poullennec, whether traditional or modern style, fine dining or street food stalls... the dining establishments that Michelin's anonymous appraisers loved when discovering and selecting for this list are all a guarantee for diners. "We want diners to enjoy authentic culinary experiences at affordable, attractive prices and explore Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City life through one of the most important "assets" of these cities," said the International Director of Michelin Guide. Value for money is a very important factor in evaluating every culinary business on the Bib Gourmand list. The award has been in place since 1997, and dishes must cost VND850,000 or less, according to the Singapore Tourism Board. In 2023, Michelin will come to Vietnam for the first time to assess and award stars to restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. The first four Vietnamese restaurants to be awarded one Michelin star include Anan Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City; Gia, Hibana by Koki and Tam Vi in Hanoi. "Star" is the rating system of the Michelin Guide, the world's most prestigious culinary rating organization. One star is for a restaurant that "has delicious food, worth stopping to enjoy". Two stars is for "a restaurant with excellent food quality, worth visiting". Three stars (the highest) is for a place where "the food quality is excellent, worth planning to come and enjoy".
