From the succulent Da Lat organic tomatoes, combined with a sauce made according to a unique recipe, to the cool mint ice cream and the characteristic aroma of basil leaves. All blend together to bring diners into a unique culinary experience.
Chef Kirk and his partner Chris worked together to create a menu honoring the quintessence of British cuisine in Vietnam. Diners are surprised with creative preparations, variations on classic dishes such as strawberries and cream, grilled chicken and thyme; and of course the famous “fish & chips” dish of England.
A whole roast chicken, the chicken breasts are slow-roasted in the oven and drizzled with a rich thyme and chicken marinade, while confit chicken feet and crispy stuffed wings add flavor and texture to this dish.

Besides, grilled chicken is served with mashed potatoes, salad, charred corn and chicken sauce with the characteristic aroma of thyme.
Chef Kirk and his team tried 20 different types of scallops and chose Hokkaido scallops for their unique flavor.

These scallops are grilled on a Josper grill using Japanese charcoal, creating a unique smoky flavor. The base underneath is a perfect combination of grilled leeks and fresh salted lemon. And to complete the dish, chef Kirk sprinkles it with rich bacon sauce, promising an unforgettable aftertaste!
Each dish is made from the freshest ingredients, some sourced from organic farms in Da Lat and leading suppliers around the world. With The Albion by Kirk Westaway, this Michelin-starred chef has brought the spirit of innovation into an intimate space, inviting diners to enjoy exquisite dishes, suitable for sharing with loved ones. .
Christian chef with “haute couture” style – high fashion on the dining table
With a bold “haute couture” style, each dish that Chef Christian prepares is created like a work of art.
Chef Christian Le Squer continues his culinary journey at La Maison 1888 by bringing the restaurant’s classic French cuisine to a new level combining with the quintessence of Vietnamese cuisine. Each dish created under his talented hands is a work of art that brings a wonderful visual experience: bright, brilliant and beautiful.
The culinary style is extremely unique when each dish has a unique and delicate mark like a unique bottle of perfume or a high-end outfit performed at Paris Fashion Week.
With creative thinking, Christian’s menu changes seasonally, using the freshest local ingredients, especially fresh seafood caught on the day. Housed in an elegant Indochina-style mansion designed by Bill Bensley, La Maison 1888 is one of the gems in Southeast Asian cuisine.
Dining Saigon with unique chef Peter Cuong Franklin
The $100 sandwich is a typical example of Anan Saigon’s efforts to change and elevate its cuisine.
With hard work and ingenuity, Vietnamese people can make delicious bread for about 20,000 VND (about 1 USD). However, at Anan Saigon, chef Peter Cuong Franklin created a product worth 100 USD (equivalent to 2.5 million VND) because as Mr. Cuong shared: “I wanted the banh mi to be luxurious with Expensive ingredients but at the same time still maintain the integrity and balance of the scent. This has created a sense of curiosity and attracted more people when talking about our traditional cuisine.”
Anan Saigon is the first restaurant to own a Michelin star in Ho Chi Minh City by Vietnamese-born chef Peter Cuong Franklin, the restaurant’s founder. The restaurant was honored at an award Asia’s 50 Best Restaurantstakes place in Singapore. Of the more than 670 diners who left reviews after dining here, 419 people commented that this place was “excellent”.
A La Carte menu with typical dishes such as Da Lat Pizza, taco pancakes, foie gras spring rolls or Saigon Tasting Menu with 10 dishes and Chef’s Tasting Menu with 12 dishes
Saigon Tasting Menu is a modern interpretation of “classic” Vietnamese dishes like banh xeo. The Chef’s Tasting Menu includes dishes from all over Vietnam such as Hanoi fish cakes and fish sauce ice cream with Phu Quoc fish sauce flavor.
