  1. Rank 139. Miên Saigon

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    The awards


  2. The awards


  3. 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.

  8. Rank 139. 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


  9. Rank 139. 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


  22. Rank 139. Phở Hùng (Cầu Ông Lãnh)

    Vietnamese Noodle Shop

    The awards


  23. Rank 139. Phở Tiến

    Vietnamese Noodle Shop

    The awards


  24. 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


  25. 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


  26. Rank 139. Quán ăn Ngự Bình

    Huế Vietnamese

  33. Rank 139. ST25 by KOTO

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    The awards


  34. Rank 139. 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.

  35. Rank 139. Tales by Chapter

    Vegetarian Vietnamese

    The awards


  36. Rank 139. Tanh Tách

    Vietnamese Seafood

    The awards


  37. Rank 139. The Albion by Kirk Westaway

    Contemporary British

    The awards


  38. Rank 139. 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.


  39. Rank 139. 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.

  46. Rank 139. Zao

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    The awards


  47. 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


  48. 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


  49. 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.

    The awards





  50. Rank 254. OKKIO

    Coffee


  51. Stone fireplaces and rattan lampshades sit inside rooms that blend French colonial bones with Vietnamese village details, about an hour outside Hanoi in the Ba Vi mountains. The Meliá resort offers a spa using locally sourced ingredients, a restaurant mixing Vietnamese and international cooking, and a colonial-era terrace bar where local spirits and mountain views compete for your attention. The kind of place where the city feels further than it is.

    Vietnamese Coffee Shop








  54. Rank 267. Margherí

    Neapolitan Pizzeria

    A Neapolitan-style pizza spot in the international enclave of Phu My Hung, where the dough is contemporary and the crust comes out soft and pronouncedly airy. The menu reaches beyond pizza into arancini, fried nibbles, and regional Italian dishes, with an all-Italian wine list to match. Bright, plant-touched room, relaxed vibe, the kind of place you bring the whole table. It holds a spot on 50 Top Pizza World.

  61. A twelve-room boutique hotel on Unicorn Island in the Mekong Delta, which is either the best address in Vietnam or something a child made up, and it turns out to be both. The style is classic craftsmanship over design theatrics, the pace is slow by design, and the restaurant mixes Vietnamese cooking with French fare named for the hotelier's grandparents. Bicycles and local markets fill the gaps. The Michelin Guide has selected it among its hotels.

  63. Rank 284. La Viet Coffee Saigon

    Vietnamese Coffee Shop



  64. The smell of freshly roasted beans hits you before you're through the door, which is probably the point. RAAW is a specialty coffee roastery and café in Thanh Xuân, fitted out in the kind of stripped-back minimalism that lets the coffee do the talking. Pour-overs and cold brews are the moves here. Laptops are quietly tolerated, and the room stays calm enough that you might actually get something done.

          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.
