How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.

  • Akuna

    1 Michelin star

    Akuna occupies the ninth floor of Le Méridien Saigon in District 1, where a Michelin-starred kitchen under Chef Sam Aisbett bridges European technique with Vietnamese produce. Dishes like red-braised goose with Venus clams and smoked Australian pork cheeks sit inside a space defined by 1,200 suspended light rods that replicate the quality of a sunset over moving water. La Liste has scored it 75 points in both 2025 and 2026.

  • Anan Saigon

    1 Michelin star

    Anan Saigon on Tôn Thất Đạm holds a Michelin star while operating at a ₫₫ price point, a combination that positions it at the sharper end of Vietnam's street-food-rooted fine-dining conversation. Chef Peter Cuong Franklin reframes familiar southern Vietnamese flavours through technique, and the restaurant has ranked in Opinionated About Dining's Casual Asia list every year from 2023 through 2025, landing at #17 in the 2025 edition.

  • CieL

    1 Michelin star

    CieL holds a 2025 Michelin star under chef Viet Hong, operating at the summit price tier of Ho Chi Minh City's innovative dining scene from its Thảo Điền address in Thu Duc. The restaurant draws milestone diners seeking a formal creative menu in a neighbourhood better known for riverside cafes and expat brunch spots. It sits among the city's most critically consistent addresses.

  • Coco Dining

    1 Michelin star

    Coco Dining holds a Michelin star earned in 2025, placing it among a small tier of Ho Chi Minh City restaurants where innovative cooking meets serious sourcing intent. Under Chef Chris Sanchez, the kitchen operates at a price point that signals premium ambition without the full omakase formality of peers like Akuna. The address on Nam Kỳ Khởi Nghĩa in District 3 puts it at the quieter, residential edge of the city's fine-dining corridor.

  • Long Trieu

    1 Michelin star

    The only Cantonese restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City to hold a Michelin star, Long Trieu sits on the Nguyễn Huệ and Đồng Khởi corridor and has retained its recognition across consecutive guides (2024 and 2025). La Liste placed it at 75 points in its 2025 rankings. The ₫₫₫₫ price tier positions it among the city's most formal Chinese dining rooms.

  • Upstairs

    1 Michelin star

    A four-table modern Vietnamese dining room set above a wine bar in District 2, where chef Hiep Truong translates Central Vietnamese traditions into a refined tasting format. The Michelin Guide recognition in 2024 flags the kitchen's technical precision, while the boutique wine programme and intimate scale keep the focus on ingredient quality and sommelier curation.
