CieL
A changing tasting menu of French technique and Vietnamese flavour in a Thảo Điền villa; one Michelin star.
A friend’s house in Thảo Điền
CieL is in a modern villa in Thảo Điền, Ho Chi Minh City, and holds one Michelin star in the MICHELIN Guide Vietnam 2026. The Michelin inspectors say it feels like dining in a friend’s home: the ground-floor counter faces the open kitchen against a lush tropical garden, while the upper floor has a Nordic elegance.
The tasting menu changes constantly and fuses French technique with Vietnamese soul. The guide’s must-try is fish maw with custard, an East-meets-West creation, and it praises the thoughtful service and wine pairings.
