Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides, said: “In fact, Vietnam’s three cities: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang have their own characteristics. The country’s culinary scene sees the vitality, passion, and creativity constantly surprising the market. Not to mention that renowned chefs are increasingly opening restaurants in Vietnam, coupled with a new generation of Vietnamese chefs emerging with a growing customer base. Therefore, Vietnam is indeed becoming a more interesting destination on the world’s food map to attentively keep an eye on.”
