HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 5 June 2026 - Michelin officially unveiled the 2026 restaurant selection of the MICHELIN Guide Hanoi | Ho Chi Minh City | Da Nang at The Ascott Tay Ho Hanoi on June 4, 2026. Now in its fourth edition, this year's selection also celebrates at a moment of exceptional significance. The MICHELIN Guide awarded its first restaurant Stars in 1926 - one that would go on to shape the way the world eats, travels and celebrates excellence at the table. Over the decades, that legacy has travelled far and discovered new gastronomic experiences, expanding the boundaries of what excellent dining can mean. The ceremony in Vietnam today joins the celebration of this milestone, marking the 100^th year since the first Star was awarded. The newly released restaurant selection showcases 193 establishments, featuring 11 One MICHELIN Star (2 new), 72 Bib Gourmand (11 new), 110 MICHELIN Selected (9 New), alongside 3 restaurants in the MICHELIN Green Star community (1 new). New additions include 7 from Hanoi (1 One MICHELIN Star, 3 Bib Gourmand, 3 MICHELIN Selected), 11 from Ho Chi Minh City (1 One MICHELIN Star, 5 Bib Gourmand, 5 MICHELIN Selected) and 4 from Da Nang (3 Bib Gourmand and 1 MICHELIN Selected). One Ho Chi Minh City restaurant newly joins the MICHELIN Green Star community for its inspiring commitment to zero-waste philosophy and plant-based gastronomy. Most significantly, this marks the first time in the Guide's four-year history in Vietnam that the number of Starred restaurants has reached double digits: a clear sign that Vietnam's culinary world is entering a new level of excellence. Behind that achievement is a generation of culinary talent whose ambition and identity have never been more sharply defined. "In four years, we have watched Vietnam grow from an exciting discovery into a clear and confident culinary destination. What excites us most this year is the talent and passion behind each restaurant. A new generation of Vietnamese chefs is leading the way, with young cooks who have trained abroad and come home to cook food that is unmistakably their own: rooted in local ingredients, local memories and local pride. That is exactly what the MICHELIN Guide has always sought to honor," said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide. "As we mark a century of the Star, Vietnam reminds us that local gastronomic stories are still being written, and that some of the most exciting chapters are unfolding right here."One MICHELIN Star: A New Chapter for Vietnamese Fine Dining 11 restaurants are awarded One MICHELIN Star this year, marking the first time the total has surpassed single-digit since the MICHELIN Guide arrived in Vietnam.
