The Anam Cam Ranh has introduced a new degustation menu at its fine dining restaurant, The Colonial, offering a fresh take on Vietnamese cuisine with global influences. Designed to bring together different flavours and textures, the new menu reflects a creative approach to modern dining.

Curated by chefs Duy Anh Nguyen and Banh Thanh Toan, the six-course experience is served at The Colonial, a space known for its elegant setting with an open kitchen, grand piano, and a courtyard surrounded by lush gardens. Guests also have the option to enjoy a curated wine pairing alongside the meal.

The dining journey begins with an amuse-bouche that includes a giant clam with sausage and daikon jams, miso cauliflower sauce, herbs and salmon roe, along with Vietnamese beef tartare paired with caramelised cashew fish sauce, crispy garlic, and betel leaf. This is followed by a starter of Hokkaido scallop ceviche with pink pomelo, yellow tangerine, Wakame cracker, kimchi broth, and imperial caviar.

The soup course features poached buttermilk Black Cod fish served with ponzu caramelized onion, green chilli kosho, and a creamy caviar relish sauce. A refreshing laska lime sorbet is then served to cleanse the palate before moving on to the main course.

For the main, guests are served grain 150-day Black Angus tenderloin with eggplant puree and beef jus infused with homemade chili and basil. It is accompanied by Vietnamese ST25 fragrant rice with corn and green beans, bringing a balanced mix of local and global elements to the plate.

The experience concludes with a dessert of dark chocolate custard made with 75% cacao, paired with fermented coffee sauce and coconut ice-cream, offering a rich and satisfying finish. Wines from Italy, Australia, Chile, France, and Portugal are available as part of the optional pairing, complementing each course.

“We set out to push the boundaries by pairing Vietnamese ingredients with international flavours and techniques in unexpected ways,” Mr Duy Anh said. “The menu is about contrast,  delicate and bold, familiar and surprising, coming together in a way that tells a contemporary story of Vietnamese cuisine.”

The Colonial, inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine-era design, focuses on modern European and French cuisine with subtle Vietnamese influences. By day, it serves as a premium breakfast venue and club lounge for select guests, and by night, it transforms into a fine dining destination.

Adding to its recognition, The Anam Cam Ranh was recently featured among the 100 best hotels in the world on Fodor’s Finest Hotels list for 2025, further highlighting its growing presence in the global hospitality space.
