The Michelin Guide Unveiling: A Taste of Vietnam’s Culinary Capital

The upcoming official announcement event promises an elegant evening of culinary celebration. The highlight of the night will be the unveiling of the Michelin Guide selections for three dynamic cities. This event goes beyond recognizing exceptional dining experiences; it aims to foster community unity and inspire a journey towards culinary excellence.

Over 300 distinguished guests from the restaurant industry, official partners of the Michelin Guide, and local and international media will grace this exclusive event. It serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the culinary community and those who passionately support it.

The Michelin Guide selections for this year will be an anticipated reveal, including the Special Awards, the Michelin Selected, the Bib Gourmand exclusive to Da Nang, and the coveted Michelin Stars. These recognitions are a testament to the diverse and vibrant dining scenes within these cities.

The dining establishments featured in the guide have undergone a rigorous evaluation process by anonymous Michelin inspectors. Five key criteria are meticulously assessed: quality of ingredients, mastery of cooking techniques, flavor harmony, the chef’s unique culinary expression, and consistent excellence across the menu. These standards, applied globally in over 40 destinations, ensure a fair and prestigious selection process.

As the evening progresses, guests will be treated to a premium cocktail reception, showcasing delicacies prepared by Michelin-starred and Michelin-selected restaurants from Vietnam and beyond. It promises to be a culinary journey like no other, offering unforgettable dining experiences that will linger in guests’ memories.

The awards ceremony will be live-streamed on the Michelin Guide Asia YouTube channel, inviting food enthusiasts and professionals worldwide to join this extraordinary celebration of gastronomy. It is an opportunity to unite the global culinary community and shine a spotlight on the talented chefs and restaurants that define the art of dining.
