Details

Upstairs is one of eleven restaurants awarded one MICHELIN Star in Vietnam’s 2026 guide, which currently covers Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. This Vietpik profile places the official selection in practical travel context: where the restaurant is, what style of cooking to expect, which dishes or menu formats MICHELIN specifically highlights, and what should still be reconfirmed before a visit.

History & story

Upstairs sits above a wine bar and keeps the room to only a few tables. Chef Hiep Truong builds a modern Vietnamese tasting menu from Central culinary references and a restrained, intimate service style. The restaurant appears in the official MICHELIN Guide Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang 2026 selection with one MICHELIN Star. Vietpik records the year and source because distinctions can change between editions.

Why this restaurant stands out

The small scale makes this a focused dining experience rather than a casual drop-in. Familiar regional ideas are reassembled with fine-dining textures and contemporary presentation.
