  1. Rank 101. A Bản Mountain Dew

    Northwestern Vietnamese

    The awards


  2. Rank 101. An's Saigon

    Vietnamese

    A 20th-century villa tucked far enough from the tourist trail that you'll need a cab, An's Saigon is an innovative Vietnamese restaurant spread across a garden, a lounge, and an eight-seat chef's table where the menu shifts into something more personal. The kitchen leans on artful plating and creative riffs on familiar flavours, with each course leaning into Vietnamese culture and nature as loose inspiration.

  3. Rank 101. Apero

    Italian

    The awards


  4. Rank 101. Azabu

    Japanese

    A blonde wooden sushi counter on the second floor of a Hanoi hotel, with chefs working in full view, sets the tone for this Japanese restaurant. The menu runs from kaiseki to sashimi, and the omakase counter draws regulars willing to plan ahead. Lunch is the quiet move for value. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected restaurants, and the team runs the room like they've done this a thousand times.

  17. Rank 101. Bếp Prime

    Vietnamese

    A Vietnamese restaurant in a crumbling old building on Hang Dieu Street, Bep Prime pulls from the full breadth of the country's regional cooking with a clear soft spot for Hanoi. The kitchen's signature pigeon and mushroom hot pot arrives in a bird cage, which is exactly as theatrical as it sounds. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected restaurants. Book ahead; the room is small and the regulars know it.

    Central Vietnamese

    The awards


  26. Chả cá, grilled catfish rubbed with turmeric until it turns a burnished gold, is essentially the whole menu here, and that's a fine way to run a restaurant. This family-run Hanoi spot has been at it forever, with cheerful murals, checkered tablecloths, and service that moves with purpose. Fish spring rolls and fish soup round things out if you want to make an afternoon of it.

    The awards


  27. Rank 101. Chapter

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    The awards


  28. Rank 101. Cồ Đàm

    Vegetarian Vietnamese

    The terracotta arched entrance and ornate facade, drawn from Buddhist and Champa traditions, set expectations before you've even sat down. Cồ Đàm is a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant spread across four floors, though the ground-floor pond and stone Buddha make a case for lingering there. Two set menus only, both modern takes on Vietnamese classics, with plating that suggests the kitchen takes presentation as seriously as flavor.

  37. 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.

  40. 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.

  49. Rank 101. 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.


  50. Rank 101. Labri

    French

    The awards


  51. Rank 101. Lamai Garden

    Contemporary Vietnamese

    The awards


  52. 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.

  57. Rank 101. 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


  58. Rank 101. 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.

  64. The awards


  65. 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.

  70. Rank 101. 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


  71. Rank 101. 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.

    The awards


  86. 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


  87. 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.

  96. Rank 101. 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.

          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.
