La Maison 1888, the first restaurant in Da Nang to be awarded a Michelin star, located in a resort on the Son Tra peninsula, offers French cuisine combining local ingredients.
La Maison 1888 was awarded one star by the world-famous culinary guide Michelin Guide at the Michelin Guide 2024 Vietnam announcement ceremony on the evening of June 27 in Ho Chi Minh City and is the first restaurant in Da Nang to receive a Michelin star.
Opened 11 years ago at the resort on Son Tra peninsula, La Maison 1888 is the work of American “architectural wizard” Bill Bensley. The restaurant is designed like an ancient French mansion in the Indochina style, located in the middle of the green space of the primeval forest.
The restaurant is divided into many areas such as La Veranda with 24 seats, Buffalo Bar with 14 indoor seats, 30 outdoor seats.
The restaurant serves a seasonal menu, offering French cuisine combining local ingredients and fresh seafood from Son Tra beach. Must-try dishes include Hokkaido-style grilled scallops and Vietnamese boiled snails rolled in Italian cannelloni noodles.
The ingredients used to prepare the dish are all high-quality, such as Foie Gras (fatty foie gras), a type of “brown diamond” from France. Foie Gras is one of the most expensive dishes in the world. It is soft and smooth and does not give you the greasy feeling of other types of foie gras.
On the menu, diners can also choose salted sturgeon caviar, Wagyu beef tenderloin, black truffle mushrooms, and shaved Melanosporum. The restaurant also serves vegetarian menus and Pescatarian diet menus.
The menu leader is chef Pierre Gagnaire with the philosophy of embracing the diversity of global cuisine to enrich his creations. His love for Vietnam has a great influence on his style at the restaurant.
The wine cellar at the restaurant has been awarded excellence for 7 consecutive years by Wine Spectator – one of the largest wine awards in the US – with many precious wines.
The restaurant’s menu changes seasonally. Pierre Gagnaire, original menu costs 5,000,000 VND per person; Esprit Pierre Gagnaire, 6,000,000 VND per person. The vegetarian menu also has 2 sets with similar names costing 4,200,000 VND and 4,800,000 VND per person respectively.
World Travel Awards awarded the restaurant the title of World’s Leading Luxury Hotel Restaurant in 2017.
