The Anam Cam Ranh’s New French-Inspired Menu Shines

The Anam Cam Ranh Unveils French-Inspired Vietnamese Degustation Menu

Published on March 1, 2025

The Colonial, the fine dining restaurant at The Anam Cam Ranh, has launched an exquisite six-course degustation menu that elevates Vietnamese ingredients with refined French techniques. Crafted by Executive Chef Duy Anh Nguyen, the menu takes diners on a gastronomic journey through a fusion of flavors, textures, and premium ingredients.

Set in an elegant space featuring an open kitchen, a grand piano, and lush courtyard gardens, The Colonial provides a sophisticated ambiance for this new culinary experience. The menu includes a mix of fresh seafood, dry-aged meats, and vibrant local produce, all presented with an artistic flair.

The dining experience begins with an amuse-bouche featuring a giant clam with sausage and daikon jams, complemented by a caramelized miso glaze, herbs, and salmon roe. Accompanying this is a Vietnamese beef tartare with caramelized cashew, fish sauce, crispy garlic, and betel leaf.

A standout entrée follows—salted mackerel with fermented star fruit, sour broth, chrysanthemum, and coriander oil. The first main course features a rich and flavorful 14-day dry-aged duck breast, paired with pumpkin flower, black apple amazake, and a brown butter fermented tofu sauce. A palate cleanser of mango and passion fruit sorbet with oolong tea cordial and yellow raisin refreshes the taste buds before the next dish.

The second main course highlights a grain-fed, 150-day Black Angus tenderloin, served with eggplant puree and beef jus infused with homemade chili and basil. This is accompanied by the fragrant Vietnamese ST25 rice, complemented by corn and green beans.

For dessert, guests can indulge in Tahini ice cream with sesame chips, caramelized hajikami, coconut milk sauce, and a traditional Nha Trang tofu pudding.

To enhance the experience, an optional wine pairing features selections from Australia, France, and Italy, carefully curated to complement each course.

“Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated for its rich and vibrant ingredients, from aromatic herbs to bold spices,” said Chef Duy Anh. “Our menu showcases these elements with a refined French influence, creating a dining experience that is both authentic and innovative.”

A Fusion of Tradition and Luxury

Inspired by Vietnam’s Indochine-era aesthetics, The Colonial is a reflection of European culinary sophistication infused with local flavors. Situated near The Anam Cam Ranh’s open-air lobby, the restaurant serves as a premium breakfast venue and a club lounge for guests in select suites and villas before transforming into a fine dining destination at night.

The Anam Cam Ranh continues to garner global recognition, recently earning a spot on Fodor’s Finest Hotels list for 2025, ranking it among the top 100 hotels worldwide.
