Where Are the Best Luxury Restaurants in Da Nang?

How do Da Nang's luxury restaurants compare?

Eleven rooms make up the top of the Da Nang scene, and they divide by what you want the evening to do: a tasting menu, a steak, or a view. One holds a Michelin star, three more are in the guide without one, and the rest earn their place on cooking or on position rather than on a listing.

Hours and ratings below were last checked in September 2026. Da Nang restaurants change their hours often, so call before you commit to a Tuesday.

Where can you eat Michelin listed food in Da Nang?

At four addresses. One holds a star and three are in the guide's Da Nang selection without one, and two more rooms on this list cook at the same level without being listed at all.

La Maison 1888

InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Bai Bac, Son Tra. French. Dinner only, 6:30pm to 9:00pm, seven days.

The only one star restaurant in Da Nang, which it has held in both the 2024 and 2025 guides. The setting is a colonial style villa built into the hillside inside the resort, roughly 40 minutes from the city by car, and the kitchen serves a five or seven course menu drawing on Vietnamese, French and Japanese ingredients. That drive is either part of the occasion or the reason you pick somewhere else.

Worth knowing: the reviews are more divided than a star usually implies. People who come for an anniversary tend to leave delighted. People who come purely for the cooking sometimes leave less convinced. Book a week ahead and plan the return trip before you sit down.

Le Comptoir

16 Che Lan Vien, Ngu Hanh Son. French tasting menus. 5:00pm to 9:00pm daily.

A small room near My Khe run by Chef Olivier, in the Michelin Guide's Da Nang selection in both 2024 and 2025. It holds a 4.9 Google rating across more than 2,300 reviews, which is close to unheard of for a room this size. The wine pairing gets mentioned nearly as often as the food, and there is a cheese and wine shop attached next door.

This is where I send someone who cares more about what is on the plate than about the room. Tables are hard to get, and several reviewers mention nearly missing out.

Si Dining

01 Giang Chau 2, Ngu Hanh Son. Contemporary Italian. 5:30pm to 9:30pm daily.

Michelin listed, with Chef Alessio Rasom cooking a seasonal Italian menu built on produce from farmers and fishermen in central Vietnam and on the daily catch. Quiet inside, planted courtyard outside, and the chef usually comes to the table.

The Italian and Vietnamese crossover does not land for everyone. The recurring criticism is that the fusion dishes read better on the menu than they taste. Order the classics and you will be fine.

The Temptation

125 Ho Nghinh, An Hai. French. Lunch and dinner, dinner only on Mondays.

A modern villa with a courtyard on the beach side near the Han River bridge, in the guide in both 2024 and 2025. It is run by Vietnamese chef La Thua An, who was brought up in France and opened the restaurant in 2019. Set menus, heavy on technique, and the bread and butter come up in almost every review.

Nen Danang

16 My Da Tay 2, Ngu Hanh Son. Vietnamese tasting menu. Dinner from 5:30pm, lunch on some days.

A narrative tasting menu built on central Vietnamese ingredients, with a non alcoholic local pairing that is genuinely good rather than an apology for not drinking. The kitchen rewrites the whole concept periodically, which is part of the appeal and also the main complaint, since guests who loved the previous menu sometimes do not love the new one. Its 4.4 rating is the lowest here and reflects that churn rather than sloppiness.

Best for a visitor who has already eaten their way through the banh mi and the bun cha and wants to see what a Vietnamese kitchen does with a white tablecloth.

City High Dining

Down the alley opposite 27/9 Park, Ngo Gia Tu, Hai Chau. Closed Mondays. 5:00pm to 9:30pm.

A small European fine dining room hidden in an alley in the city centre, easy to walk straight past. Crab tartare, lobster, foie gras, and a set menu with a fermented juice pairing. It is the least known place on this list and the one most likely to feel like something you found yourself.

Where should you go for a steak in Da Nang?

Three places, and the choice between them is really a choice about the table rather than the beef. El Gaucho for a guest you need to impress safely, Olivia's for timing and a central address, Red Sky when the steak itself is the whole point.

El Gaucho

862 Vo Nguyen Giap, Ngu Hanh Son. Argentinian steakhouse. 11:00am to 10:30pm daily.

On the beach road near the Crowne Plaza, part of a small Vietnamese chain with rooms in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hoi An. The chain status is the point. The beef is imported, the cooking is consistent, and nobody at the table has to be briefed on what they are about to eat. It is the default answer for a business dinner with a guest you do not know well.

Olivia's Prime Steakhouse

Indochina Mall, 74 Bach Dang, Hai Chau. 11:00am to 11:00pm daily.

Riverside in the city centre, Australian Angus, and tomahawks sized for three people to share. The steaks land well and the sides and desserts are less reliable. It is also open straight through the afternoon, which matters when a client lands at four and wants to eat before their body clock gives out.

Red Sky

248 Tran Phu, Hai Chau. 11:00am to 2:00pm and 5:00pm to 11:00pm.

Smaller and less polished than the other two, and the one I would choose if the steak itself is the whole point. Wagyu MB5 and Japanese A5 by the cut, a short list of drinkable reds by the glass, and staff who notice birthdays. The room is genuinely small, so it is wrong for a group of ten and right for four.

Which rooftop restaurants are worth going up for?

Two of them, and for opposite reasons. Gypsy because the kitchen is as good as the view, Cabanon Palace because the view is the highest in the city and the seat you get decides whether you enjoy it.

Gypsy Rooftop Restaurant and Bar

10th floor, 20 Dong Da, Hai Chau. 5:00pm to 11:30pm daily.

A Mediterranean menu with Vietnamese touches, a poolside lounge with a wide view across the city, and a 4.9 rating from more than 2,500 reviews. Rooftops usually sell the view and coast on the kitchen. This one does not, which is why it is the hardest table on this list to get on a Friday.

Cabanon Palace

21st floor, Cordial Grand Hotel, 27 to 29 Loseby, An Hai. Closed Wednesday and Sunday. 5:00pm to 10:00pm.

French, family run, seafood led, and the highest dining room here, with close to a 270 degree view over the beach side of the city. Book a window table or you have come for the view and then sat away from it. On busy nights there are waits at the lift lobby, so arrive with a few minutes to spare.

What should you know before you book?

Four things, and the first one catches people out most.

• Geography matters more than it looks on a map. Le Comptoir, Si Dining, Nen and El Gaucho cluster on the beach side around My An and Khue My. Olivia's, Red Sky, Gypsy and City High are all in Hai Chau on the river. Cabanon Palace and The Temptation sit on the An Hai side near the bridges.
• La Maison 1888 is the outlier. Roughly 40 minutes out on the Son Tra peninsula, so plan the return trip before you order the second bottle.
• Book ahead, and check the closing day. Le Comptoir, City High Dining and Red Sky are all small rooms, Gypsy fills on weekends, and the closing days are not the ones you would guess: City High shuts on Mondays, Cabanon Palace on Wednesday and Sunday.
• Smart casual is accepted nearly everywhere. La Maison is the one place with a dress code worth checking in advance.

For anyone hosting visiting family or clients, the useful split is this: city centre for anything on a schedule, beach side for anything that should feel like a night out.
