  4. A café tucked inside a two-floor clothing boutique on Phung Khac Khoan Street, where the menu runs to European cooking with Vietnamese touches and plating that matches the surroundings for effort. Sit in the glass-roofed garden room or climb to the mezzanine for something quieter. The pho broth made with consommé and roasted duck breast is the dish that earns its own conversation. Selected by the Michelin Guide.

  7. A steak and seafood restaurant on the second floor of the Sheraton, with floor-to-ceiling views over West Lake that do a lot of heavy lifting on a humid Hanoi evening. The menu roams freely, pulling beef and seafood from whichever hemisphere is having a good season. The surf-and-turf format is the move here, with premium cuts alongside fresh seafood. It's a hotel restaurant, polished and unhurried, and the lake view makes it feel less like one.

  16. Rank 168. La Villa

    French

    Velvet curtains, a chandelier, and foie gras on the menu: La Villa is a formal French restaurant that seems entirely unbothered by its Ho Chi Minh City address. The kitchen leans into the classics, and the wine list and cheese trolley hold up their end of the bargain. On warmer evenings, the garden terrace offers a little breathing room from all that starched Gallic dignity.


  17. Rank 168. Labri

    French

    The awards


  18. Rank 168. Lamai Garden

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    The awards


  19. French fine dining inside the Sofitel Legend Metropole, where the crystal chandeliers and blue velvet banquettes have survived every renovation the twentieth century could throw at them. An old-school institution, the kind where lobster bisque arrives from a guéridon and crêpe Suzette is flambéed tableside with a seriousness that feels entirely earned. The tasting menu threads in quiet Vietnamese notes, which keeps things from feeling like a museum piece.

  24. Rank 168. Lüne

    Modern French

    A Lyon-trained French chef doing modern European fine dining in a quietly elegant room on Le Thanh Ton, the street Ho Chi Minh City has quietly handed over to this sort of thing. Private dining rooms make it a natural choice when someone has news to share over several courses. The cooking leans into precision and presentation, with classic French foundations pulled in a cleaner, more contemporary direction.

    The awards


  25. Rank 168. Madame Lam

    Modern Vietnamese

    Indochine-meets-Art-Deco interiors set a relaxed tone at this contemporary Vietnamese restaurant, where the chef draws on the central region where he grew up. Dishes from that tradition arrive with a refined, creative edge, and the grilled abalone with spring onion oil and fish sauce makes a strong case for ordering from the sea. The banana ice cream with coconut milk and crushed peanuts is a quietly satisfying way to finish.

  31. The awards


  32. A beachfront seafood restaurant on Da Nang's main coastal strip, with a terrace that puts the East Sea more or less in your lap. Live tanks at the entrance set up a feast of fresh shellfish and fish cooked to order. Mantis shrimp in typhoon-shelter style, fried with golden garlic and crispy rice, is the thing to order, and Hoi An mud crab shows up here when it seemingly doesn't elsewhere in the city.

  37. Rank 168. Nephele

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    Dinner ends at the bar with mignardises and vinyl, which tells you something about how seriously this place takes the whole arc of a meal. Nephele is a tasting-menu restaurant tucked into an alley inside a renovated historic building, and the kitchen leans hard into Vietnamese flavors through sauces that drive each course. The sourdough, fermented 36 hours and charcoal-baked, arrives with truffle butter and housemade miso and makes a strong case for bread as a destination.

    The awards


  38. Rank 168. Ngon Garden

    Vietnamese

    The patio wraps around Thien Quang Lake with enough tropical greenery to make you feel like you've stumbled into someone's very well-connected garden. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that pulls from the whole country, with Hanoi-style phở alongside bún bò huế and live seafood, plus Thai and Chinese dishes rounding things out. The Indochinese villa setting fills up fast, so book ahead unless you enjoy standing near other people's prawns.

    Vietnamese Noodle Shop

    The awards


  53. A pho shop near Ben Thanh that makes its rice ribbon noodles from scratch, which already sets a certain tone. The menu runs through the usual suspects plus shank, flank, oxtail, and ribs for anyone who wants to think about texture. Order the pho tho da and the broth arrives in a heated stone bowl, staying volcanic to the last mouthful, with beef and noodles served alongside so you control how much the heat finishes the meat.

    The awards


  54. A colonial villa with a garden courtyard does a lot of heavy lifting for a casual Vietnamese restaurant, and Quán Ăn Ngon leans into every square foot of it. The menu roams the whole country, with photographs to help you navigate, and the kitchen's rice flour rolls, thin-skinned and generously filled, are a good reason to order before you've settled in. Prices stay well on the friendly side of the bill.

    The awards


  63. Rank 168. Stoker (Saigon)

    Steakhouse

    Antler chandeliers and dark wood wainscoting spread across the upper floors signal exactly what kind of place this is: a proper steakhouse, doing things the old way. The focus is grass-fed and grain-fed beef, much of it dry-aged well past three weeks, with house-made sauces that cover the range. The wood-fired mashed potato is quietly the dish people keep mentioning. End with whisky and feel no guilt about it.

    The awards


  67. Rank 168. The Monkey Gallery Dining

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    A concrete counter faces an open kitchen on the third floor of a Mac Thi Buoi address, and the minimalist, Japanese-leaning room is spare enough that the food has nowhere to hide. The chef grew up in Central Vietnam and trained in Europe, and the tasting menu pulls that tension into something interesting. Named for three founders all born in the Year of the Monkey, which is either a charming origin story or a great excuse for the name.


  68. Rank 168. The Temptation

    Contemporary French

    A spun-sugar egg, shaped like a nest and presented in a bamboo cage, is a reasonable first clue about what to expect at this upmarket contemporary French restaurant in a modern Da Nang villa. The chef grew up in France and brings that lens to the menu, with plating that leans playful and flavors that do not. The courtyard and dining room are dressed for a celebration, and the crowd treats it as one. Book ahead.

  80. A love story between a Japanese merchant and a Vietnamese aristocrat from the late 1600s became the blueprint for this riverside luxury hotel, split into two wings that each take one side of the romance. The Japanese wing has dark wood and lanterns; the Vietnamese side leans Art Nouveau with lavish drapery. Four-poster beds, silk pillows, and freestanding tubs run throughout. The rooftop lounge looks over the Thu Bon river and the old town.

    The awards


  81. A private islet on the Thu Bon River, screened by palms, with villas that have their own pools and terraces facing the forest or the water. This wellness resort outside Hoi An organizes itself around the spa, which leans into ancient Vietnamese remedies, herbal steam rooms, and cold plunge rather than facials and serums. Two farm-to-table restaurants work with local produce and freshly caught seafood, and a sunset dinner cruise is an option for those who need a reason to leave.

    The awards


  82. Every room faces the ocean, and with sage green and navy paired against pale timber, the 330-room resort pulls off something unusual: a sense of calm at a scale that usually sacrifices it. Part of the larger Hoiana complex, it leans hard into families without losing the thread for everyone else, with 20 restaurants, a coastal golf course threading through sand dunes, and a casino waiting for anyone whose relaxation requires higher stakes.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
