True to the reputation of the world-recognized culinary guide, the Michelin Guide Vietnam Ceremony 2024 event has caused a stir in the domestic and foreign media for many days before the official list announcement on the evening of June 27.
In its second year of presence in Vietnam, in addition to the list of old and new restaurants in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City that were selected and honored, Michelin Guide for the first time brought Da Nang to the podium of the most prestigious culinary "playground" in the world.
Accordingly, the 2024 Michelin Guide introduces a total of 164 dining establishments to residents and visitors. Of these, 7 restaurants were awarded 1 Michelin star (including 2 new restaurants and 1 restaurant upgraded from Michelin Selected); 58 establishments achieved Bib Gourmand (including 28 new establishments and 1 establishment transferred from Michelin Selected); and 99 restaurants are on the Michelin Selected list.
The most prestigious names in the Michelin Guide Vietnam Ceremony 2024 announcement ceremony are 3 new restaurants that have achieved 1 Michelin star, including: La Maison 1888 at the InterContinental Danang Peninsula Resort; Akuna (HCMC), and The Royal Pavilion (HCMC). And the 04 names that won 1 Michelin star in 2023 continue to maintain their titles: Anan SaiGon, Gia, Hibana by KoKi, and Tam Vi.
This year's awards also honored three individuals who won the Michelin Guide Special Awards: Toan Nguyen of La Maison 1888 won the sole Sommelier Award; the Young Chef Award was given to Duy Nguyen of Little Bear, a Michelin Selected restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City; and Mr. Nguyen of Si Dining, a Michelin Selected restaurant in Da Nang, was awarded the Service Award for his outstanding service skills.
Notably, the Michelin Green Star was announced during the event. Nen Danang Restaurant became the first and only restaurant in Vietnam to be awarded a Michelin Green Star. This award honors pioneering dining establishments that aim to build sustainable cuisine, providing an experience that combines the excellence of their dishes with a serious commitment to environmental friendliness.
Representative of Nen Danang was honored to receive the Green Star (Michelin Green Star) and this is the first Green Star in Vietnam.
Mr. Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of MICHELIN Guides, assessed that Da Nang - a new city added in the second announcement of MICHELIN Guide in Vietnam - is a factor that helps make the choices of the 2024 culinary guide edition richer and more diverse.
"In fact, the three cities of Vietnam including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang all have their own colors. Vietnam's culinary culture shows abundant energy, passion and creativity that constantly surprises the market." Mr. Gwendal Poullennec emphasized: "Vietnam has truly become an attractive destination on the world culinary map in the eyes of tourists and diners."
In Da Nang alone, 36 establishments were honored, including 16 establishments in the Bib Gourmand; 19 restaurants/eateries in the Michelin Selected list; and especially La Maison 1888 restaurant in the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula resort, which received 1 Michelin star. Located in the resort that has been honored by the World Travel Awards for 4 consecutive years as the most luxurious in the world, La Maison 1988 was once known as the first restaurant in Vietnam to collaborate with chef Pierre Gagnaire - one of the 10 best chefs in the world, owning prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants.
La Maison 1888 at InterContinental Danang Peninsula Resort achieved 1 Michelin star in this announcement.
Mr. Ha Van Sieu, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, affirmed: "The brilliance of a destination like Da Nang associated with Michelin makes the city's appeal stronger and stronger. Choosing Da Nang to evaluate and award stars is a very correct, accurate and quality direction of Michelin when this is an emerging destination, a city worth visiting and worth living".
Now, Da Nang will not only be known to the world as a modern city, a civilized lifestyle, a capital of Vietnamese tourism with iconic destinations such as the Golden Bridge - one of the 10 new wonders of the world; My Khe beach - one of the 6 most beautiful beaches on the planet, Sun World Ba Na Hills - Asia's leading theme park; or large-scale festival events such as the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival. With the presence of prestigious Michelin stars, Da Nang has become the "kitchen" of even the most demanding diners around the world.
At the event, Mr. Dang Minh Truong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sun Group, shared: "Bringing Vietnam to the world is the goal and mindset throughout the development journey of Sun Group. We understand that this journey is long and arduous. But by cooperating with Michelin Guide, Sun Group is getting closer to the goal, gradually realizing the great aspiration: bringing the quintessence of Vietnamese cuisine to the world".
