The Michelin Guide Vietnam 2026 lists 193 restaurants across Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. It has 11 One Michelin Star restaurants (2 new), 72 Bib Gourmand eateries (11 new), 110 Michelin Selected and 3 Green Star restaurants. It is the first edition with double-digit stars since the guide arrived in 2023.
The Michelin Guide Vietnam 2026 was unveiled on 4 June 2026 at The Ascott Tay Ho in Hanoi. This fourth edition is the biggest yet, and for travelers it is most useful for its street food: 72 Bib Gourmand spots where a bowl still costs less than a coffee in most Western cities.
We updated this guide in October 2026 using Michelin’s official 2026 announcement. Our Michelin food tour riders ride these streets every week, so we have added what the list means on the ground.
What Is in the Michelin Guide Vietnam 2026?
The 2026 selection covers the same three cities as before and grows from 181 to 193 establishments. Here is how it compares with 2025, using Michelin’s official figures:

| Michelin Green Star | 2 | 3 | 1 |
| Bib Gourmand | 63 | 72 | 11 |

By city, the new names split into 11 for Ho Chi Minh City, 7 for Hanoi and 4 for Da Nang. Vietnam still has no two- or three-star restaurant.
Which Restaurants Have a Michelin Star in Vietnam in 2026?
Eleven restaurants hold One Michelin Star in the Michelin Guide Vietnam 2026. Two are new. ONVIT in Hanoi is the first Korean restaurant in Vietnam to earn a star. Upstairs in Ho Chi Minh City is a four-table room above a wine bar, serving Chef Hiệp Trương’s Central Vietnamese tasting menu.

Which Restaurant Won the New Michelin Green Star?
Tales by Chapter in Ho Chi Minh City joined the Michelin Green Star community in 2026. Michelin cites its zero-waste kitchen and seasonal plant-based menu, sourced from a partner eco-farm in Da Lat and its own rooftop garden. Trimmings become mushroom garum and corn koji, and organic waste is composted back into the soil.
What Are the New Bib Gourmand Restaurants in 2026?
A Bib Gourmand is Michelin’s award for good cooking at a moderate price. For travelers in Vietnam it is the most useful part of the guide. Eleven names are new in 2026:

| Ho Chi Minh City | Bánh Cuốn Tây Hồ 127 | Steamed rice rolls made to order |

What Does the Michelin Guide Vietnam 2026 Mean for Travelers?
For most visitors, the Michelin Guide Vietnam 2026 is a street-food map, not a fine-dining list. A Bib Gourmand bowl in Saigon usually costs around 40,000-100,000 VND (~$1.50-$4 USD). The starred tasting menus sit at the other end and need booking days or weeks ahead.
Three things we tell guests before they go:
- Go early or off-peak. Many Bib Gourmand spots are family shops that sell out by early afternoon.
- Addresses changed in 2025. Vietnam removed districts on 1 July 2025, so Michelin now lists addresses by ward. Search the restaurant name in Google Maps rather than an old “District 1” address.
- The list is not the whole story. Bánh mì still has no Bib Gourmand, and many of Saigon’s best stalls are not listed at all.
Prefer not to queue and navigate on your own? Our Saigon Michelin food tour ($79 USD) rides you between Michelin-listed spots on the back of a motorbike with one of our women drivers. In Da Nang, the Da Nang Michelin food tour ($69 USD) covers the city’s listed eateries. You can book now and pay cash after the tour.
