  • 1. Anan Saigon

    $$$$ | District 1

    Voted one of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2021, Anan Saigon puts a whimsically modern twist on Vietnamese street food. Talented Vietnamese-American chef-owner Peter Cuong Franklin is credited for pioneering Vietnamese fusion cuisine, often elevating Vietnamese flavors with French cooking techniques. The main restaurant is on the ground floor but also explore the upper floors to Nhau Nhau (third floor) for cocktails with an Old Saigon vibe, Pot Au Pho noodle bar (fourth floor), and the rooftop bar (sixth floor) for views of the neighboring wet market backed by one of Saigon's tallest buildings.

  • 2. L'Escale

    $$$$

    The finest dining in town, on a beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the Hau River, L'Escale serves a mix of French and Vietnamese dishes, accompanied by an extensive wine list and a jazz soundtrack, along with attentive service. The restaurant, in the Nam Bo Boutique Hotel, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but you can also slide into a seat at the bar and enjoy a drink and the view. Time your visit around 5 pm, when the light on the river is the most magical.

  • 3. La Maison 1888

    $$$$

    As one of Vietnam's leading fine-dining experiences, this restaurant resembles an old French mansion with elaborately decorated themed rooms. The aesthetics have earned La Maison a spot among the World's Top Ten Designed Restaurants in Architectural Digest, and the cuisine of three-Michelin-star chef Pierre Gagnaire only adds to the illustrious status.

  • 4. La Villa

    $$$$ | District 2

    An experience rather than a meal, La Villa serves elegant but not pretentious fine French dining on a quiet street in District 2's Thao Dien area. Whether you sit in the garden by the pool, surrounded by fairy lights and greenery, or inside in the airy salon, the attentive service and the cuisine add to the memorable experience. For an extra-special meal try the Menu Villa Gourmet, and for something extra-extra special ask for Chef Thierry's wine pairings from the extensive wine list. Don't miss the homemade Camembert Calvados (apple brandy camembert) from the cheese cart.

  • 5. Le Longanier

    $$$$

    Reminiscent of an elegant colonial mansion, Le Longanier is a lunch-only restaurant set in tropical gardens that's part of the Victoria Hotels empire, and so is a regular stop on Victoria Cruises. Independent travelers can stop in (a reservation is required) to enjoy the set menu of Mekong Delta classics. Do take some extra time to take a refreshing drink in the downstairs salon and take a stroll through the gardens before you leave.

    Phu An Village, Cai Be, Tien Giang, Vietnam
    1800-599--955

    Known For

    • Beautiful colonial-style decor

    • Lush gardens

  • 6. Mekong Lodge Restaurant

    $$$$

    The hotel restaurant uses only local ingredients and happily accommodates vegetarians. Specialties include crispy elephant ear fish and other local seafood. The multicourse meals here are pricier than those in town but, because Mekong Lodge supports several charities, including a school and a training center for disadvantaged locals, a meal here gives back to the community.

    An Hoa, Dong Hoa Hiep, Cai Be, Tien Giang, Vietnam
    08-9663--3269-cell phone

    Known For

    • Elephant ear fish
    • Good vegetarian options
    • Supporting the disadvantaged
  • 7. Noir

    $$$$ | District 1

    The concept of dining in pitch blackness, served by vision-impaired waiters, has been a huge hit since Noir opened its doors in mid-2014. The theory is that because sight is our dominant sense, if you take it away other senses are heightened, resulting in a more intense experience of the food's aromas and taste. Diners divest themselves of light-emitting devices such as mobile phones and order three-course Eastern, Western, or vegetarian set menus in a well-lit entry area before entering the blacked-out dining room. Noir's founders and kitchen team have extensive fine dining experience, which is evident once the first morsel is navigated through the darkness to awaiting taste buds. Identifying ingredients in the dark is harder than you'd expect. After the meal, diners learn the specifics of the dishes they've enjoyed.

    180D Hai Ba Trung, Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    028-6263–2525

    Known For

    • Blind waiters
    • Pitch-black interior
    • Surprising menu
  • 8. Nous

    $$$$ | District 1

    If Top Chef ever came to Vietnam, it would likely look like Nous. With just eight seats surrounding an open kitchen once per night, this modern minimalist space is all about elevating Vietnamese flavors to fine dining heights. Tasting menus change every few months, but diners can expect familiar flavors and often local ingredients transformed into adventurous modern cuisine incorporating foams, gels, smokes, and cures. One meal might include a deconstructed banh xeo eaten like a taco and a sweet treat of lotus ice cream and longan shaved ice inspired by a humble street food dessert.

    42 Ly Tu Trong, Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    090-965--4096

    Known For

  • 9. On the Rocks

    $$$$

    Mango Bay Resort's in-house restaurant serves excellent Asian and Western fusion cuisine from a wooden deck (with rocks peeking through) over the water. The views of the sunset over the Gulf of Thailand are fantastic, the cocktails delicious, the staff attentive, the music mellow, and the food, including the tapas, is some of the best on the island.

  • 10. Peppertree Restaurant

    $$$$ | Long Beach

    La Veranda's in-house restaurant provides a full sensory experience, with refined Pacific Rim cuisine, stunning views over the ocean, and elegant French colonial style. One of the priciest options on Phu Quoc, it's well worth it for the service, setting, food, wine list, and sunset views. It's the perfect location for a romantic dinner.

    Tran Hung Dao, Phu Quoc, Binh Thuan, Vietnam

  • 11. The Deck

    $$$$ | District 2

    A stylish lounge and restaurant on the banks of the slow-flowing Saigon River, The Deck is a place to spoil yourself with sublime seafood-focused pan-Asian cuisine, fine wines, and professional service. The beauty of the entry courtyard, with its tall trees, black marble pond, and potted lotus plants, is almost forgotten once you enter the restaurant, where the river views take center stage. The weekend Champagne brunches are sophisticated yet casual and the executive set lunches are perfectly suited to the business crowd.

    38 Nguyen U Di, Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    028-3744–6632

    Known For

    • Stylish decor

  • 12. TUNG Dining

    $$$$ | Hoan Kiem District

    One of only two restaurants in Vietnam to feature in Asia's 100 Best Restaurants in 2021 (the other being Anan in Ho Chi Minh City), TUNG Dining offers an astonishing fine-dining experience. Head chef and owner Hoang Tung worked in various Michelin star restaurants in Scandinavia before returning to his home city of Hanoi, and his experience is reflected in both the cuisine and the minimalist decor. There is only ever one set menu that consists of 15 to 20 courses, each one illustrating Tung's culinary wizardry. The menu changes with the season and the restaurant can make adjustments if you have dietary requirements, but be sure to let them know when you make your booking, which is essential.

    $$$$

    Nonguests are welcome at the luxury Six Senses Con Dao's main restaurant, which is the perfect venue for a romantic meal of freshly caught local seafood and fine wine overlooking Dat Doc Beach. It's just as stunning by moonlight as it is during the day. The menu is Asian fusion with a hint of French influence.

  • 14. El Gaucho

    $$$$ | Tay Ho District

    The West Lake branch of a chain of Argentinean steak houses with outlets in Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, El Gaucho Hanoi is modern and assured. A variety of cuts are imported from the United States and Australia. Sides range from macaroni-and-cheese and creamed spinach to healthier choices, like arugula salad and corn on the cob.

  • 15. Le Beaulieu

    $$$$ | Hai Ba Trung District

    Opened in 1901, Le Beaulieu was the first-ever French restaurant in Hanoi. The spacious dining room doesn't lend itself particularly well to intimacy, but an extensive wine list and expert sommelier service heighten the allure.

    Inside the historical Azerai La Residence Hue, this pricey brasserie rivals anything you might find in Paris. The French fusion degustation menu (which must be requested eight hours in advance) features six exquisite courses, ranging from smoked duck carpaccio to beef tenderloin with rosemary. International wines are paired with each course, including an impressive dessert of molten chocolate with red hibiscus coulis served under a crystallized sugar dome.

  • 18. Masu

    $$$$ | Hoan Kiem District

    When it comes to Japanese food in the capital, Masu has indisputably raised the bar. The menu is inspired, the ingredients are top-notch, the interior design is becoming, and the staff are appropriately attentive. The sets, which start at 1,500,000d, are difficult to pass up, but you can also order a la carte.

  • 19. Sandals

    $$$$

    For the most romantic dining experience in Nha Trang, reserve a table for two and sink your toes into the sand at Mia Resort's beachfront barbecue restaurant, just a stone's throw from the water. Tiki torches and lanterns surround your private table. The chef prepares fresh lobster, squid, scallops, lamb, and chicken on a fiery grill right on the beach. Private dining on the sand is not available on windy or rainy days, and must be booked two hours in advance. Isolated from the main Sandals dining room, this is a true VIP experience.

    $$$$

    Even if you're not staying at the Azerai, it's worth taking the free speedboat over to the islet for a leisurely lunch or a refined dinner. The menu ranges from Mekong specialties to Mexican favorites (the tacos are particularly good), or you can order one of two four-course set menus (625,000d). There's also a comprehensive wine list and a slew of creative cocktails.
