One Michelin Star

Often compared to the “Oscar” in the culinary world, the Michelin Guide is the symbol for evaluating the quality of restaurants and the skills of chefs. Also, the list of Michelin-starred restaurants, which is always the category that food lovers look forward to the most every year, is the ultimate hallmark of culinary excellence

Among the Michelin-starred restaurants on the list, Gia is the only one restaurant to pursue innovative Vietnamese cuisine. This event is not only a recognition for the effort of Gia’s team, but also a recognition for Vietnamese cuisine.

The Michelin Young Chef Award

The Michelin Young Chef Award honors a young chef working in a selected restaurant who has impressed the inspectors with his or her extraordinary talent and potential.

With her own unique cooking style and the way she shares some interesting stories in each dish, Chef Sam Tran has gradually conquered the fastidious diners in Vietnam over many years, and now is the Michelin Guide inspectors with this prestigious award.

One of the first restaurants that offer tasting menus only in Vietnam, nestled at the heart of Hanoi and right by the very first prestigious university in Vietnam, Văn Miếu. Our core team at the very beginning had a great diversity in background and experience, yet we all shared one goal: to present Vietnamese culture through flavors, local ingredients, creativity and technicality – one dish at a time. And then, put Vietnamese cuisine on the world’s gastronomy map.

At the time, Sam had spent nearly 10 years living and working in Melbourne, Australia. She started her career as a chef at Bawa Cafe, one of the most reputable restaurants in Melbourne, and then moved on to Sunda Dining. She built her culinary career in the 2-hatted restaurant in Melbourne, while the restaurant made it to the Top 50 in World’s 50 Best Discovery list. After years of working, learning, and cultivated her cooking techniques, Sam decided to come home to embark on a journey of her own.
