The Ho Chi Minh City restaurant is the latest addition to Vietnam’s MICHELIN Green Star community, recognised for its commitment to sustainable gastronomy.

The restaurant operates with a zero-waste philosophy, featuring seasonal plant-based tasting menus built around produce from a partner eco-farm in Da Lat and ingredients grown in its rooftop garden.
