Vietnam’s Central Coast is making waves in the global culinary scene as Da Nang secures a spot in the prestigious MICHELIN Guide, marking a new chapter for the region’s gastronomic excellence. Renowned for its blend of indigenous flavors and international dining experiences, Central Vietnam has solidified itself as a must-visit destination for food lovers and travelers alike.

With the MICHELIN Guide now evaluating Da Nang’s diverse culinary landscape, the city joins Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City as an officially recognized gourmet hub. From authentic Vietnamese street food to high-end fine dining, the region offers an array of dishes that reflect its rich cultural heritage. Local specialties like mi Quang, bun cha ca, and banh xeo continue to captivate food enthusiasts, while standout establishments like La Maison 1888 - Vietnam’s first MICHELIN-starred restaurant in Da Nang—attract a global audience.

Beyond its culinary reputation, Central Vietnam’s golf clubs are also embracing world-class dining experiences. Leading destinations such as Ba Na Hills Golf Club, Montgomerie Links, and Laguna Golf Lang Co offer gourmet menus that complement their elite golfing facilities. Laguna Lang Co stands out with ten diverse restaurants, including Azura, a beachfront Mediterranean dining spot, and Saffron, a signature Thai restaurant with breathtaking hilltop views.

“At Laguna Lang Co, dining is a key part of the guest experience,” said Stephen Banks, Director of Golf at Laguna Lang Co. “We ensure that visitors can enjoy both exceptional golf and standout gastronomy.”

Meanwhile, Montgomerie Links continues to raise the bar with its Birdies restaurant, a venue known for its East-meets-West cuisine. “The golf experience isn’t just about the fairways—it’s about the entire atmosphere, and dining plays a huge role in that,” said Le Vo Hoang Van, Club Manager at Montgomerie Links.

Adding to the mix, Ba Na Hills Golf Club offers a diverse selection of flavors, from Vietnamese delicacies to international favorites, ensuring a memorable post-game dining experience. The club was recently honored with the 2024 Vietnam Golf & Leisure Award for Best F&B Course, further cementing its reputation in hospitality.

With Da Nang’s MICHELIN recognition, Hoi An’s traditional delights, and Hue’s historic imperial cuisine, Central Vietnam is now at the forefront of Asia’s top culinary destinations. The fusion of gastronomy, golf, and culture ensures the region remains a sought-after location for both food lovers and travelers seeking the finest experiences.
