Vietnam House Restaurant will reopen its doors early next month to serve Vietnamese cuisine with a modern twist at the heart of HCM City.

Through a unique partnership between Australian-born Vietnamese celebrity chef Luke Nguyen and Windsor Property Management Group Corporation (WMC Group), the restaurant returns to its former location with fully renovated interiors and a façade accenting the historic building on the corner of Đồng Khởi and Mạc Thị Bưởi.

The restored colonial building housed the famed Café L’Imperial in the early 1900s, and was a popular destination for the city’s affluent business class. The new Vietnam House is set to bring back the nostalgia and charm of the storied street corner.

Its menu will span the country with classic dishes selected from north to south delivering a traditional style while reflecting modern trends with culinary impressions from Chef Luke Nguyen.

With experience and knowledge gained by travelling throughout Việt Nam, Chef Luke invites diners to a rich gastronomic journey with unique presentations of classic recipes.

Open for lunch and dinner, Vietnam House presents a curated menu of the country’s favorite dishes.

The signature flavours of Vietnam House revolve around the fresh, high-quality produce elegantly prepared and presented in a modern style.

Chef Luke and his culinary team scour local markets daily to ensure only the freshest fruits and vegetables are used in the kitchen, and use cooking methods that retain and enhance the flavours of the ingredients and spices.

The rebirth of Vietnam House takes inspiration from the storied corner of Dong Khoi and Mac Dinh Chi streets, but inspires guests with a dining experience that complements their unique lifestyle, dining at the highest level with world-class service delivering the best of Vietnamese gastronomy in the heart of Saigon. — VNS
