CieL
A tasting menu in a Thao Dien villa that pairs French technique with Vietnamese flavours; one Michelin star.
The Restaurant
CieL occupies a modern villa in Thao Dien. Guests at the ground-floor counter watch the open kitchen against a tropical garden, while the upper floor is more Nordic in feel. Michelin inspectors say it feels like being in a friend’s home.
The tasting menu changes constantly and fuses French technique with Vietnamese flavours. The guide singles out one dish, fish maw with custard, as an East-meets-West creation, and praises the thoughtful service and wine pairings.
Good to Know
CieL holds one Michelin star in the 2026 guide and sits in the top price band. It is open Tuesday to Sunday evenings and closed Mondays, and bookings go directly through the restaurant. For the wider picture see Ho Chi Minh City.
