Nen Restaurant’s trademarked “Sto:ry Menus” are constantly updated and allow diners to experience a range of narratives through dishes specially prepared to convey stories that have been inspired by Vietnamese culture, tradition, and philosophy. Nén Danang can guarantee only the freshest seasonal ingredients make it to the table as the restaurant has its own farm, quite literally on its doorstep. The Nen Farm champions sustainable agriculture and supplies the kitchen with a wide variety of vegetables, fruit, herbs, and edible flowers. A commitment to hyper-local ingredients means every component at Nen Restaurant Danang offers an authentic Vietnamese flavor. Nen Farm allows the Nen restaurant team to do research into rarer hyper-local ingredients and partners with a nearby school to raise awareness among younger people about the importance of organic farming, fresh food, and the concept of sustainability.

Nén Restaurant – An Avant-Garde Addition to Vietnamese Fine Dining in Danang
Nestled in the heart of Central Vietnam’s most vibrant city, Nen Restaurant offers Vietnamese fine dining in Danang in an oasis of calm elegance, away from the distractions of the metropolis. Deliberately designed to be modern and minimalist, sophisticated yet intimate, diners stepping through the doors of Nen restaurant find themselves in a relaxed yet intimate and elegant setting of subtle lighting and charming decor where every element is carefully curated to guarantee an exquisite dining experience. Keeping things interesting is the Nen Danang fine dining set menu which is constantly tweaked and completely revamped every few months. Each dish is carefully paired with wines from around the world that add to the unique narrative of the cuisine. Each plate comes with a handwritten card that explains Chef Le’s inspiration and the story behind the ingredients used.
Although much of the inspiration behind the Nen Danang fine dining tasting menus is steeped in the culture and traditions of Vietnam, the talented team under Chef Le is determined to use their creativity to push the envelope and find new ways to champion the country’s cuisine in exciting and innovative ways and ensure that diners leave wanting to explore Vietnam’s culinary delights further. Among the delights to be found on the Nen Restaurant ‘Light’ menu is the ‘kaleidoscope’, a dish that Chef Le says proved difficult to create but was determined to get right because kaleidoscopes represent such an important analogy for life as no two kaleidoscope images can ever be the same and every turn of the cylinder produces a million random facets of light. Other treats on the Nen fine dining menu demand similar complicated approaches to highlight the essence of Vietnam’s unique flavors and Chef Le’s team are given the freedom to explore, craft, and create the exquisite dishes served to the tables of Nen restaurant’s diners.

Nén Danang – The First Vietnamese Restaurant to be Awarded the MICHELIN Green Star
Nén Danang’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and outstanding gastronomy caught the attention of the highly selective team at MICHELIN who only award the MICHELIN Green Star to restaurants that meet exacting environmental and ethical standards. Nen restaurant Da Nang has consistently shown a dedication to working with sustainable suppliers and producers, eliminating non-recyclable materials from the restaurant and throughout their supply chain, and implementing zero-waste practices. What set Nen Restaurant apart from other Vietnamese fine dining restaurants in Danang to earn the award in 2024, was Michelin’s recognition of Nen Restaurant Danang’s combination of culinary excellence, exquisite dining experience, and eco-friendly commitment that is an inspiration not only to keen foodies but also to the whole of the hospitality industry.
Nen Restaurant Da Nang’s sister restaurant in Saigon, the Nen Light Restaurant, has also caught the attention of MICHELIN and has been recognized for its outstanding contribution just a year after opening its doors. And it is unlikely that the accolades will stop there as Chef Le recently announced that she and her team would be taking their Vietnamese “Sto:ry Menus” cultivated at Nen restaurant Da Nang to an eager audience in Japan. Chef Le said that receiving the MICHELIN Green Star has given her the confidence to continue developing the stories of Vietnam through her creations to diners as well as using Nen Restaurant as a way of introducing more customers to sustainable cuisine. However, the Green Star will not distract Chef Le and Nén Danang from the long-term mission to remain authentic by not following trends or copying others and continuing to embrace local ingredients, local farmers, and local culture. Sophisticated, warm and welcoming, Chef Le hopes that Nen Restaurant will continue to attract diners from home and abroad with its delicious food and the stories of Vietnam.
