Michelin announced that Da Nang is the next city to be added to the MICHELIN Guide's culinary destination list. This is the third city in Vietnam to be evaluated by the MICHELIN Guide's team of assessors in Vietnam, after two destinations announced last year: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Mr. Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of MICHELIN Guide, said: “We are delighted to continue the MICHELIN Guide journey in Vietnam. After a promising debut early last year in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang joining the MICHELIN Guide 'family' is a testament to the vibrancy and quality of Vietnamese cuisine, along with its rich history and the distinctive flavors of each region. The anonymous assessors have begun their assessment journey and we are proud to be able to announce the selected list of dining establishments for Vietnamese gourmets, along with the international travel community and culinary enthusiasts in June.”
Michelin announced that Da Nang is the next city added to the MICHELIN Guide's culinary destination list.
As a globally recognized tourist destination, Da Nang is a “paradise” for those who love to eat. The culinary center representing the cultural quintessence of the Central region has deeply impressed the anonymous reviewers of the MICHELIN Guide with its excellent food quality and rich culinary heritage – from Mi Quang, Bun Cha Ca, Banh Xeo, countless fresh seafood dishes at restaurants to unique street food stalls that cannot be missed. The reviewers were delighted to sit on the roadside and enjoy the culinary “gems”, such as a bowl of duck porridge.
In addition to the familiar specialties and street food, Da Nang also offers diners an attractive high-class cuisine, diverse in cooking techniques from local master chefs - who are familiar with creating regional ingredients - and international chefs, because of their love for this city, have brought here the culinary quintessence of their country.
Besides the familiar specialties and street food, Da Nang also offers diners an attractive high-class cuisine.
