Michelin Restaurants in Da Nang (2026 Guide): Star, Green Star & Bib Gourmand
Da Nang has quietly become one of Vietnam’s most exciting food cities. On June 4, 2026, the MICHELIN Guide released its fourth Vietnam selection covering Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, and Da Nang once again earned a place at the top table. This guide covers every level of Michelin recognition in Da Nang, from the city’s only starred restaurant to the affordable Bib Gourmand spots where locals actually eat.
Michelin in Da Nang 2026 at a Glance
- One MICHELIN Star: La Maison 1888, Da Nang’s only starred restaurant, which kept its star in 2026.
- MICHELIN Green Star: Nén Danang, Vietnam’s first Green Star recipient (2024), recognized again in 2026.
- Bib Gourmand: Around two dozen Da Nang eateries, most of them local specialists serving dishes for just a few dollars.
- MICHELIN Selected: A further group of recommended restaurants across the city.
What Do the Michelin Awards Mean?
- One Star: High-quality cooking that’s worth a stop.
- Green Star: An extra award for restaurants leading the way in sustainable gastronomy. It sits alongside the restaurant’s main listing and isn’t a replacement for a star.
- Bib Gourmand: Good food at great value, often the best bang for your buck on the whole list.
- MICHELIN Selected: Restaurants recommended by inspectors for quality cooking.
1. La Maison 1888 – Da Nang’s Only Michelin-Starred Restaurant
- Michelin status: One MICHELIN Star (awarded 2024, retained 2025 and 2026)
- Cuisine: French fine dining
- Location: InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Bai Bac, Son Tra Peninsula
- Price: ₫₫₫₫, one of the most expensive meals in Da Nang. Tasting menus run to several million VND per person before wine.
Set inside a grand colonial-style villa at the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, La Maison 1888 is the city’s benchmark for fine dining. The kitchen applies classical French technique to premium ingredients, including many sourced from Vietnam, with a menu that changes with the seasons. The villa has several distinct dining rooms and a terrace looking out over the sea and the Son Tra mountains. It also has one of the most impressive wine cellars in Vietnam, and its sommelier team has previously won Michelin’s Sommelier Award.
Why go: It’s the only place in Da Nang where you can have a true Michelin-starred meal. It’s ideal for anniversaries, proposals, and once-in-a-trip splurges.
How to book: Reserve through the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort’s website or by phone at +84 236 393 8888. Book well ahead in peak season (roughly February–August) and around holidays. Expect a smart dress code, so leave the beach shorts at the hotel.
2. Nén Danang – Vietnam’s First Michelin Green Star
- Michelin status: MICHELIN Green Star (Vietnam’s first, awarded 2024) and MICHELIN Selected
- Cuisine: Contemporary Vietnamese tasting menu
- Address: 16 My Da Tay 2 Street, Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang
- Price: ₫₫₫₫
Chef-owner Summer Le’s Nén Danang is one of the most original dining experiences in Vietnam. Each tasting menu tells stories about Vietnamese land, history, and people. The restaurant uses almost entirely hyper-local ingredients, many grown on its own farm right in front of the restaurant. That commitment to sustainability, including working with local schools to share green ideas with young people, earned Nén Vietnam’s first-ever MICHELIN Green Star.
According to Michelin’s inspectors, the single set menu is tweaked every few months and completely reinvented every six months. That means there’s no fixed “signature dish” list, and returning diners get a genuinely new experience. The interior is modern and minimalist, with dramatic lighting.
Why go: You’ll taste Vietnamese ingredients you’ve probably never heard of, served with storytelling that makes the meal feel like a crash course in Vietnamese culture.
How to book: Nén manages its own reservations. Book through restaurantnen.com, ideally at least a few days ahead, and further ahead for weekends and peak season. Let them know about dietary needs when you book.
3. Da Nang’s Bib Gourmand: Michelin Food on a Budget
You don’t need a fine-dining budget to eat Michelin-recommended food in Da Nang. The city’s Bib Gourmand list is packed with humble, specialist eateries, many serving a single dish they’ve perfected over decades. Most meals cost just a few dollars. Look out for Da Nang’s signature dishes on the list:
- Mì Quảng: Turmeric noodles with pork, shrimp, peanuts, and crispy rice crackers.
- Bún chả cá: Rice vermicelli in a light broth with Da Nang–style fish cakes.
- Bánh tráng cuốn thịt heo: Boiled pork rolled in rice paper with fresh herbs.
- Bún bò Huế: Spicy lemongrass beef noodle soup, originally from Hue but done brilliantly in Da Nang.
The Bib Gourmand list changes every year, with new entries added and some removed. For the full, current list with addresses, check the official MICHELIN Guide Da Nang page.
Insider Tips for Michelin Dining in Da Nang
- Book ahead for fine dining: Reserve La Maison 1888 and Nén several days to a few weeks in advance, especially in peak season.
- Go early for Bib Gourmand spots: Many popular local eateries sell out or close by early afternoon, and some have queues since the Michelin recognition.
- Bring cash for street food: Fine-dining restaurants take cards, but many Bib Gourmand eateries are cash only.
- Mention dietary needs early: Tasting menus are prepared in advance, so give restaurants notice about allergies or vegetarian requirements.
- Visiting in the rainy season? From October to November, heavy rain can make getting around harder. Book a Grab car rather than a motorbike for your big dinner. Read our guide to Da Nang in autumn for more tips.
