Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2026 Unveils Its Official Shortlist

Behind every exceptional experience lies a story of passion, dedication and imagination. As Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2026 reveals its official shortlist, the spotlight turns to the remarkable people, inspiring destinations and creative visions shaping Vietnam’s gastronomic and hospitality landscape, where heritage meets innovation and excellence becomes an art.

Behind every unforgettable dining experience lies a story. A chef who has spent years perfecting a single dish. A hotelier who believes true luxury is measured not only in beauty, but in the warmth of a welcome. A bartender who transforms an ordinary evening into a lasting memory. A visionary who dares to imagine something different and brings that dream to life.

These are the stories that deserve to be told. These are the passions that deserve to be celebrated.

Returning for its second edition, Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2026, initiated by Epicure Vietnam, proudly unveils its official shortlist, recognising the exceptional individuals, establishments and destinations whose dedication continues to redefine Vietnam’s culinary and hospitality landscape.

Under the theme “Celebrating Excellence in Vietnam’s Gastronomy & Hospitality,” this year’s Awards mark a remarkable new chapter. From 195 entries in its inaugural edition to an impressive 437 nominations in 2026, the platform has grown significantly, reflecting the creativity, ambition and dynamism of the industry.

Following an evaluation by the editorial board and industry experts, 360 finalists have been shortlisted across 67 sub-categories within six principal categories, representing the diverse expressions of excellence that are placing Vietnam firmly on the world’s gastronomic map.

Yet beyond the numbers lies something far more meaningful: a portrait of a nation increasingly confident in its identity, embracing its heritage while finding new ways to share its creativity with the world.

A CELEBRATION OF THE ART OF LIVING

Vietnam has always been a land of extraordinary flavours, generous hospitality and deeply rooted culinary traditions.

From the delicate balance of herbs and spices in a family recipe to the quiet precision of a chef’s hands, from the timeless charm of a heritage retreat to the architectural beauty of a contemporary sanctuary, the country’s hospitality landscape is an ever-evolving expression of culture, creativity and human connection.

Today, a new generation of chefs, restaurateurs, hoteliers and creative entrepreneurs is carrying this heritage forward, embracing international influences while remaining inspired by the soul of Vietnam.

The Gourmet Vietnam Awards were born from a belief that such dedication deserves more than recognition. It deserves a platform where stories can travel, talents can flourish and excellence can inspire future generations.

The 2026 shortlist celebrates this beautiful convergence of tradition and innovation, local identity and global ambition.

SIX PILLARS, COUNTLESS STORIES OF EXCELLENCE

Culinary Excellence - Where Heritage Meets Imagination

Every remarkable dish begins long before it reaches the table. It begins with memories, ingredients, years of practice and the courage to create something entirely one’s own.

From the refinement of fine dining to the comforting authenticity of Vietnamese cuisine, from the artistry of Japanese omakase to the vibrant expressions of international gastronomy, Culinary Excellence honours those who transform ingredients into emotion and dining into an experience that lingers long after the final course.

Among the distinguished shortlisted names are CoCo Dining, CieL Dining, The Albion by Kirk Westaway, Square One at Park Hyatt Saigon, Long Triều at The Reverie Saigon, Pink Pearl by Olivier E. and Ăn Ăn Sài Gòn, alongside an impressive collection of culinary destinations reflecting the richness and diversity of Vietnam’s dining scene.

For great cuisine is never simply about what is served. It is about what is remembered.

Beverage & Mixology - The Poetry Within a Glass

There is an art to creating the perfect moment.

Sometimes it arrives in the delicate aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the elegance of a beautifully aged wine or the unexpected harmony of a thoughtfully crafted cocktail.

The Beverage & Mixology category celebrates the storytellers behind the glass, whose creativity, knowledge and craftsmanship are transforming Vietnam’s beverage culture into an experience of discovery and connection.

From celebrated cocktail destinations such as CoCo Bar, Firkin Bar, 2 Lam Son and Ink 360, to the sophisticated wine culture of Terroir Wine Bar and the distinctive coffee experiences of Lacàph Coffee Experiences Space, the shortlist reflects an industry where tradition and innovation come together.

For the finest experiences are not merely tasted. They are felt.

Hotel & Hospitality Dining - Destinations Worth Discovering

Some of life’s most beautiful memories are made around a table, far from the familiar rhythms of everyday life.

A breakfast overlooking the sea. A candlelit dinner beneath the stars. An exquisite meal enjoyed in the intimacy of a remarkable hotel or resort.

Hotel & Hospitality Dining celebrates destinations where gastronomy becomes an essential part of the journey, where the art of cuisine and the spirit of hospitality come together to create a sense of place.

This year’s shortlist features distinguished destinations including The Reverie Saigon, Le Méridien Saigon, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Regent Phu Quoc, Zannier Bãi San Hô and InterContinental Phu Quoc Long Beach, alongside exceptional beachfront, resort and cruise dining experiences.

They remind us that the most memorable journeys are often measured not in miles travelled, but in moments treasured.

Hotel, Resort & Destination Excellence — The Beauty of Belonging

True luxury is not always found in grandeur.

Sometimes, it is the silence of a secluded retreat, the gentle rhythm of the ocean, the character of a beautifully restored building or the feeling of being welcomed somewhere as though one truly belongs.

 The Hotel, Resort & Destination Excellence category honours places that offer more than accommodation. They create experiences, emotions and a deeper connection to their surroundings.

From the timeless sophistication of Park Hyatt Saigon and The Reverie Saigon, to the intimate character of Hôtel des Arts Saigon, and the breathtaking natural settings of Amanoi, Six Senses Con Dao, Azerai Ke Ga Bay and Banyan Tree Lăng Cô, the shortlist celebrates the many expressions of contemporary luxury across Vietnam.

Each destination tells a different story, yet all share a common ambition: to make every guest feel that their journey has become something personal.

Hospitality Design & Services — The Invisible Art of Excellence

The most extraordinary hospitality experiences are often shaped by details we barely notice, yet never forget.
The gentle choreography of attentive service. The warmth of a genuine smile. The thoughtful harmony between architecture, atmosphere and emotion.

Hospitality Design & Services pays tribute to the creators of these moments: the designers who give spaces their soul, the storytellers who bring concepts to life and the dedicated professionals whose care transforms a visit into a lasting relationship.

From inspired restaurant interiors and heritage concepts to innovative culinary presentations, sustainable practices and exceptional service, this category recognises the many dimensions of hospitality that extend beyond the visible.

Because beauty may capture our attention, but it is human connection that captures our hearts.

Industry Leaders & Visionaries - The People Behind the Dream

Behind every great establishment stands someone who once dared to dream.

A chef determined to challenge convention. A hotelier committed to nurturing a culture of excellence. A mentor sharing knowledge with the next generation. A visionary who believes that hospitality can change lives.

The Industry Leaders & Visionaries category honours the individuals whose passion, leadership and generosity continue to elevate Vietnam’s hospitality community.

Among this year’s distinguished shortlisted personalities are Chef Sakal Phoeung, Jimmy Pham, Chef Peter Cuong Franklin and Hélio Guenoun-Tassara, alongside accomplished hotel general managers, pastry chefs, sommeliers, mixologists, food and beverage leaders and culinary educators.

Their achievements are measured not only by the establishments they lead or the accolades they receive, but also by the people they inspire and the legacy they leave behind.

For true excellence becomes even more meaningful when it opens doors for others.

BEYOND THE SHORTLIST, A SHARED JOURNEY

The Gourmet Vietnam Awards have never been simply about choosing the best.

They are about recognising the extraordinary commitment that often unfolds quietly behind the scenes. The early mornings, the late nights, the endless pursuit of perfection and the unwavering belief that every guest deserves something special.

They are about bringing together an industry united by passion, yet enriched by different cultures, philosophies and creative perspectives. Most importantly, they celebrate a Vietnam that is increasingly confident in its identity, ambitious in its vision and generous in sharing its heritage with the world.

With each new restaurant, each inspired culinary concept, each remarkable hotel and each emerging talent, another chapter is being written in the story of Vietnam’s gastronomic renaissance.

And every chapter deserves to be celebrated.

THE COUNTDOWN TO A NIGHT OF EXCELLENCE

On 4 December 2026, the Gourmet Vietnam Awards will culminate in the highly anticipated Grand Awards Ceremony & Gala Dinner at Park Hyatt Saigon.

For one extraordinary evening, chefs, restaurateurs, hoteliers, mixologists, industry leaders and creative visionaries will come together to honour the talents and achievements shaping the future of Vietnam’s gastronomic and hospitality landscape.

There will be awards, applause and moments of celebration. But beyond the trophies, the evening will be a tribute to the journeys, friendships, dreams and remarkable human spirit that give this industry its soul.

To every shortlisted finalist, congratulations.

Your place on this shortlist is already a testament to the passion, dedication and imagination you bring to your craft.

Because excellence is not simply a destination. It is a journey of passion, a lifetime of dedication and a beautiful story that continues to unfold.
