Hemispheres Restaurant and the prestigious Michelin Selected 2025 recognition

This is a proud milestone that not only affirms the restaurant’s premium culinary quality and outstanding service, but also marks the result of continuous innovation, creativity, and the preservation of Hemispheres' unique identity over more than 20 years of operation.

In particular, in 2024, the restaurant underwent a complete renovation with a more modern and youthful design, and introduced a refreshed menu that strongly embraces the spirit of global culinary exploration – harmonizing Western techniques with local Vietnamese ingredients. The Michelin Selected 2025 honor, therefore, becomes even more meaningful as it recognizes the restaurant team's year-long transformation.

"Being honored by the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years is an incredibly proud milestone for the entire Hemispheres team. We see this as motivation to continue elevating the dining experience and affirming Vietnam's culinary identity on the global map."
– Mr. Nguyen Cong Chung, Director of Culinary and Executive Chef, Sheraton Hanoi Hotel

Where global cuisine meets the essence of Vietnamese ingredients

Hemispheres is one of the few fine-dining restaurants in Hanoi that follows a culinary philosophy inspired by the concept of the 'hemispheres' – representing global exploration and human connection through cuisine. Under the leadership of Mr. Nguyen Cong Chung – named Asia’s Best Chef 2017 – and current Chef Nam Nguyen, the menu showcases the perfect blend of refined European techniques and exceptional local ingredients such as Quang An kumquat, Ly Son garlic, Phu Quoc pink pepper, and Nha Trang lobster.

Signature dishes recognized by Michelin

The dishes that have made Hemispheres’ name with the Michelin Guide include:

• Hemispheres Cured Salmon – representing the Northwest hemisphere, crafted with Atlantic salmon cured by hand, served with avocado mousse, truffle, and sour cream.

• Nha Trang Lobster Thermidor – representing the Northeast, featuring succulent lobster with creamy mushroom sauce.

• Oven-roasted New Zealand Lamb Rack with lemongrass and Ly Son black garlic – inspired by the chef’s travel memories and combining local flavors with European elegance.

• Tomahawk Wagyu Ribeye (MB4-5) from Australia – a true “Steak” highlight, grilled to perfection, tender and juicy.

Each dish represents a chapter in Hemispheres’ 'culinary passport' – inviting diners to explore the world through taste.
