Câu Chuyện

Về Địa Điểm Này

CieL — tiếng Pháp có nghĩa là 'bầu trời' — đang sở hữu một sao Michelin và thường được so sánh với Gia ở Hà Nội, với cách xây dựng hương vị theo từng lớp, nối tiếp nhau qua hơn 10 món, bao gồm cả amuse bouche. Thực đơn kết hợp kỹ thuật Pháp với nguyên liệu Việt và nét ẩm thực Hoa, trong đó các món hải sản liên tục nhận được lời khen cao nhất từ những thực khách từng trải nghiệm nhiều nhà hàng Michelin khắp Việt Nam.

Chỗ ngồi quầy là lựa chọn đặc trưng: đặt đối diện trực tiếp với bếp, thực khách quan sát đội ngũ hoàn thiện từng đĩa món ngay trước mắt, tạo nên không khí cuốn hút như xem biểu diễn nhưng hoàn toàn không ồn ào. Nhân viên phục vụ thành thạo tiếng Anh, giới thiệu nguyên liệu và cách chế biến của từng món theo nhịp độ bữa ăn, không theo kịch bản cứng nhắc.

Tasting menu có giá khởi điểm 3,6 triệu đồng mỗi người; wine pairing bắt đầu từ 1,8 triệu. Giá đã tăng khoảng 20% sau khi được Michelin công nhận, một chi tiết được nhiều reviewer nhắc đến nhưng không mấy phàn nàn khi xét đến chất lượng thực tế. Địa chỉ trên Đường Số 50 tại Thảo Điền không dễ tìm từ mặt đường — lối vào đòi hỏi phải mò đúng hướng — điều này tự nhiên sàng lọc lượng khách, nghiêng về phía những người thực sự có chủ đích thay vì ghé ngẫu nhiên.

Bữa tối phục vụ từ Thứ Ba đến Chủ Nhật, bắt đầu từ 17:30; nhà hàng nghỉ vào Thứ Hai. Trong bức tranh ẩm thực đa dạng của Thao Dien — với những quán cà phê thoải mái mở cả ngày và các bistro kiểu khu phố — CieL hoạt động theo một chuẩn mực hoàn toàn khác biệt, tập trung toàn bộ vào trải nghiệm tasting menu dài hơi, thư thả thay vì gọi món à la carte. Nơi đây thu hút cả những du khách đam mê ẩm thực lẫn thực khách địa phương muốn ghi dấu một buổi tối đặc biệt. Đặt bàn thường kín chỗ; cần lên kế hoạch trước.

I definitely recommend this place for a personal fine dining experience. This is the 2nd Michelin star restaurant I’ve been to. My husband and I sat at the round table near the kitchen/food preparation area. Tung is a super smiley and friendly person. We spent an hour talking to him after our dinner. We left him a big tip! Unfortunately we forgot to ask his Instagram for keeping in touch. I felt that the staff were on a very personal level. Liam (I think that is his name) is also very friendly. We have already recommended this place to several friends. We definitely will be back here when we are in HCM again.

the best fine dining restaurant in vn. and the best meal i’ve ever had in vn…maybe also in a long while. this was such an awesome dining experience at a michelin star restaurant in saigon. well-deserved. so proud that we have a proper fine dining restaurant in vn that isn’t gimmicky or a fad. the food was fusion and very creative and tasty with so much little details. interesting flavors. every dish made me want more of it. especially the lobster amuse bouche was 🤯. the sweets were okay. the service was wonderful. the place was pretty with a lovely garden and nice decor inside. my only complaint was the open counter kitchen room is super super cold (they lent me a scarf).

Ciel is one of those rare dining experiences where everything just clicks. The food is outstanding—thoughtful, creative, and executed with real precision. You can tell this is a young chef with serious talent: there’s a clear understanding of flavor, balance, and restraint, combined with a willingness to push boundaries. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully composed, and most importantly, perfectly seasoned. The chef’s table setting adds another layer to the experience. Watching the kitchen at work is captivating—the focus, the choreography, the attention to detail. But just as enjoyable is watching the reactions of the other guests as each course lands. There’s a shared sense of surprise and appreciation that makes the night feel even more special. The wine pairings were excellent. Each selection didn’t just accompany the dish—it elevated it. The interplay between food and wine was seamless, enhancing both in a way that shows real care and expertise. Ciel isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. Absolutely worthy of its Michelin star, and one of the best dining experiences in Ho Chi Minh City.

I went into Ciel with some skepticism, having been disappointed by more than a few Michelin-starred and World’s Best restaurants, but this completely exceeded expectations. Easily one of the best meals I’ve had this year. From the first bites, the precision was obvious. The tartelette shells and pie tees in the amuse showed serious technical mastery, perfectly crisp, delicate, and intentional. Seasoning across the menu was dialed in, with a seamless balance of salt, fat, acidity, and umami. Pacing was thoughtful, service was polished without being overbearing, and every detail, from consistently filled glasses to clear, engaging explanations, was handled with care. What really stood out was Chef Nguyễn Việt Hồng’s voice. The dishes draw from multiple cuisines but feel personal rather than derivative, refined, expressive, and technically precise, with every element working in harmony. Ciel is now a must visit for me in Saigon. Huge congratulations to Chef Hồng and the entire team, this is exceptional work. Highly recommend. Also, they have two cats so they very much deserve 3 Michelin stars.

Truly a great experience and the Danish and french influences can be felt, while still making Vietnamese food. The decor is modern and minimalistic. We went through the tasting menu and accompanied wine menu. And already from the first bite, we knew, we where in for an experience. And the pared sake was perfect. Our waiter was attending and precise, not a spot was left unattended, our glasses was always full. Now there is always room for improvement. All the dishes leading up to the lemon palette cleanser was amazing. The main dishes didn't quite live up to starters. The dove was very nice, but the 2 sauses didn't stand out from each other and the dish could use som acidity. But that is maybe just our palette. The wine pairing was for the most part really god, but especially the different sake stod out and most where god pairing to the dishes. All in all an amazing experience and worth going out of your way to go there.
