A curated dining guide to the best restaurants in Da Nang, by Secret Experiences.

Da Nang’s restaurant scene has quietly become one of Vietnam’s most interesting. In just a few years, the city has moved from beachside seafood and hotel buffets to a cluster of serious, story‑driven restaurants that can hold their own on a regional stage.

Today, a night out in Da Nang might mean a Michelin‑starred French tasting menu in a colonial mansion, a hyper‑local Vietnamese “story menu” built around a single aromatic herb, or a Moroccan riad‑style dinner just off the Han River. Here are the places defining the city’s current dining moment.

We continue to update this list as we discover new inspiring venues.

French & European Fine Dining

Le Comptoir – The Heart of the House

Address: 16 Chế Lan Viên, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Đà Nẵng 

Le Comptoir describes itself as more than a restaurant: it is a “lieu de vie”, a living space built around its counter. The counter is where guests engage with the chef, share a glass of wine, or watch the brigade at work.

Tucked into a hidden corner of Da Nang, the space is intimate and refined, reimagining French cuisine with modern global influences and a carefully curated wine list. It’s the kind of place where the meal feels like a conversation, and the details – from plating to service – are designed to linger. In 2024, Le Comptoir was recognised as a Michelin‑selected restaurant, underlining its position in the city’s fine‑dining landscape.

La Maison 1888 – Haute Cuisine in a Colonial Mansion

Address: InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Bãi Bắc, Sơn Trà, Đà Nẵng

La Maison 1888, at InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, is Central Vietnam’s only Michelin‑starred restaurant, retaining its star for three consecutive years. The setting is a meticulously recreated colonial Indochine mansion, evoking the “joie de vivre” of Paris in a rainforest environment.

The cuisine is inspired by three‑Michelin‑star Chef Christian Le Squer, who approaches flavour like a perfumer or couturier, layering tastes, textures and colours into signature dishes. The result is classical French technique pushed into modern, highly creative territory, using fresh seasonal ingredients and an exceptional wine programme.

Si Dining – Italian Craft, Vietnamese Ingredients

Address: 01 Giang Châu 2, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Đà Nẵng

Si Dining is a Michelin‑recognised restaurant that has held its place for two consecutive years. Founded by Chef Alessio Rasom, it blends Italian technique with Vietnam’s seasonal produce, working closely with local farmers and fishermen.

The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting what’s freshest from the region, while the dining room – filled with art, warm lighting and a thoughtful wine selection – encourages long, unhurried meals. Whether you sit indoors or on the terrace, the focus is on an intimate, refined Italian experience grounded in Da Nang’s terroir.

Vietnamese Identity & Innovation

Nén – Vietnam’s First Green Star

Address: 16 đường Mỹ Đa Tây 2, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Đà Nẵng

Nén is perhaps the most conceptually ambitious restaurant in the city, and the first one in Vietnam to hold a Michelin Green Star. The name refers to “nén”, a Central Vietnamese aromatic herb that sits between shallot and garlic, and which the team uses as a symbol of Vietnam’s hidden culinary potential.

Led by Chef Summer Le, Nén builds its “Sto:ry Menu” around 99% indigenous ingredients, turning local staples into fine‑dining narratives. The brand now spans Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Tokyo, but the Da Nang original remains its philosophical core: a restaurant that is consciously Vietnamese, deeply researched and unapologetically local.

An Thoi – French Colonial Charm and Bánh Xèo Done Right

Address: 114 Bạch Đằng, Hải Châu, Đà Nẵng 

An Thoi leans into Da Nang’s French colonial past with a two‑storey blue‑and‑yellow façade near the Han River and Han Market. The vibe is relaxed and the location convenient, making it a popular post‑shopping stop.

The menu is concise but well executed, with a particular focus on bánh xèo: crispy, golden Vietnamese pancakes stuffed with carrot, pork, shrimp and squid, praised for their seasoning, aroma and the courtesy of the front‑of‑house team. It’s a reminder that some of Da Nang’s most satisfying meals don’t need tasting menus – just great ingredients and confident cooking.

Luk Lak – Modern Vietnamese in a Stylish Setting

Address: 28 Bạch Đằng, Hải Châu, Đà Nẵng

Luk Lak positions itself as a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant with an emphasis on design, service and a polished take on familiar dishes. The menu balances approachable classics with more refined presentations, aiming to make Vietnamese cuisine feel both comforting and special.

With its sleek interiors and central location, Luk Lak appeals to diners looking for a reliable, stylish option for business lunches, family dinners or occasions where the food needs to please a range of palates.

Global Flavours in Da Nang

The Gypsy – Mediterranean Views and Global Plates

Address: 20 Đống Đa, Street, Hải Châu, Đà Nẵng

Founded by hospitality veteran Zacharie Ben and French chef Olivier Corti, The Gypsy is built on the idea of bringing diverse culinary worlds together. The menu ranges from classic French dishes to innovative fusion creations, all prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Perched with sweeping city views, the restaurant pairs its global cuisine with a relaxed, almost travel‑inspired atmosphere. It’s a spot for long dinners where the food, the view and the conversation are all part of the experience.

Bladi – A Moroccan Detour in Da Nang

Address: 80 Tô Hiến Thành, An Hải, Đà Nẵng

Bladi is a boutique‑sized restaurant dedicated to Moroccan cuisine, a rarity in a city dominated by Vietnamese, Japanese and Western options. Owner Samir focuses on signature dishes, fresh ingredients and attentive service to create a memorable, transportive experience.

The chef’s recommendations – often rich, spiced and slow‑cooked – are positioned as the best way to experience the kitchen’s range. For diners who want something completely different from the usual Vietnamese fare, Bladi offers a compact but vivid detour into North African flavours.

RANG – Elevated Modern Indian with a Twist

Address: 384 Võ Nguyên Giáp, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Đà Nẵng

RANG brings elevated modern Indian cuisine to Da Nang, blending Indian foundations with international influences in what it describes as a “Mediterranean fusion Indian” experience. The menu moves from refined small bites like lump crab pani puri and lotus seed & yogurt kebabs to more ambitious plates such as masala prawn ravioli, twice‑cooked masala pork belly and king prawn linguini in makhni cream sauce. Organised “United Colours of Curries” and a strong tandoor and kebab section round out a menu that feels both creative and rooted. 

Set in a beautifully designed house with attentive service, RANG is a destination for diners who want Indian flavours presented with fine‑dining sensibility and a clear sense of play
