Vietnam HOME Restaurants Unveil Menus Celebrating Local Cuisine and Culture - TRAVELINDEXHanoi, Vietnam, November 17, 2024 / TRAVELINDEX / Situated in Vietnam’s north, centre and south Viet Deli’s three HOME restaurants have launched exquisite menus underpinned by fresh, locally grown produce, paying tribute to the country’s rich agricultural traditions.

Nguyen Gia Thien, the executive chef of Viet Deli, the company behind some of Vietnam’s most popular dining establishments, and chef Nguyen Thanh Tung, the executive chef overseeing HOME Hanoi, HOME Hoi An and HOME Saigon, have crafted the a la carte menus, each of which bring together street food, home-cooked favourites and refined dining dishes.

Highlights from HOME Hanoi’s new menu range from the likes of street food favourites ‘Bun Cha’ (grilled pork and noodles) and ‘Pho’ (noodle soup) to home-style classics such as ‘Than Bo Xao Ngong Toi’ (stir-fried beef with garlic bud’) and refined dishes including ‘Ca Chinh Nuong Rieng Me’ (char-grilled Eel fish with local spices).

Located at 75 Nguyen Dinh Chieu Street in a grand, four-story French villa, down a quaint lane that gives way to a private courtyard strung with lanterns, HOME Hanoi’s meticulously maintained villa’s interior is defined by brickwork, timber beams and Vietnamese art.

HOME Hoi An’s new menu brims with local specialties like ‘Cao Lau’ (traditional Hoi An noodles with char-siu pork), ‘Mi Quang’ (traditional Hoi An noodles with prawn and char-siu chicken) and ‘Thit Nong Heo Chien Mam’ (caramelized pork jowl with mam sauce) and refined options such as ‘Cua Sot Ot Hoi An’ (stir-fried crab with Faifoo chili sauce).

At 14 La Hoi Street in Hoi An’s Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Vietnam’s central coast, HOME Hoi An is near many of the town’s famed attractions including its street markets and Thu Bon River. In a villa bathed in a distinctive golden-hue, like most of the Ancient Town, the restaurant’s 19th century-themed interior is adorned with lanterns, vintage photography of Hoi An and more.

‘Hau Nuong Trung Muoi’ (grilled oyster with salted egg), ‘Tom Su Sot Ot So Diep Kho’ (steamed prawn with lotus leaf and hot rock salt), ‘Heo Quay Kho Nuoc Dua’ (glazed pork belly in coconut juice), and ‘Tom Hum Nha Trang Nuong Tieu Xanh’ (grilled Nha Trang lobster with green peppercorn) are among specialties served on HOME Saigon’s new menu.

Nestled in an alley at 216/4 Dien Bien Phu in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 3, HOME Saigon calls an historic French colonial villa home. Once the abode of South Vietnam’s vice president, the storied building’s preserved architecture and tasteful décor are rounded off by a green, shaded courtyard.

“As we welcome diners into our friendly, family homes, offering authentic local dishes to be shared between family and friends, each dish on each of our three new menus embraces the daily bounty of Vietnam’s fertile landscape,” Viet Deli country general manager Nguyen Quoc Hoa said. “From fresh herbs and vegetables from nearby markets and our partnerships with local farmers to sustainably sourced seafood and meats, our new menus have a deep connection to our lands. Every bite at HOME celebrates Vietnam’s rich agricultural traditions and supports local farmers and communities.”

HOME Hanoi and HOME Hoi An are open daily from 11am-2pm for lunch and 5-10pm for dinner. HOME Saigon is open from 11am-10pm. The HOME restaurants have been recognised in the 2024 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, placing them in the top 10% of restaurants worldwide. Since Viet Deli, headquartered in Hanoi, began in 2015, it has launched a diverse mix of successful restaurants in Vietnam.
