This continued recognition affirms Hemispheres’ consistent pursuit of culinary excellence, refined service, and a distinctive philosophy that celebrates global gastronomy through a Vietnamese lens. The restaurant is widely regarded as a fine-dining pioneer in Hanoi, known for harmonizing European culinary techniques with the richness of local ingredients.
In 2024, Hemispheres underwent a comprehensive renovation that introduced a more modern and youthful dining atmosphere. Alongside the refreshed interiors, the restaurant unveiled a new menu that further embodies its "culinary passport" concept – taking guests on a sensory journey across hemispheres. Signature offerings such as Nha Trang Lobster Thermidor, Oven-roasted New Zealand Lamb Rack with Ly Son black garlic, and the Australian Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye showcase this creative fusion of East and West.
The recognition is also a testament to the leadership of Chef Nguyen Cong Chung, Asia’s Best Chef 2017, and Chef Nam Nguyen, who represented the restaurant at the Michelin Guide Ceremony 2025 held in Ho Chi Minh City. Speaking about the honor, Chef Chung noted: "Being recognized by the Michelin Guide for three years in a row is a proud milestone for our entire team. It reflects our passion and dedication, and inspires us to continue innovating while promoting Vietnam’s culinary identity on the global stage."
Since its first Michelin distinction, Hemispheres has seen a significant increase in both local and international diners, particularly among discerning travelers seeking premium dining experiences in Hanoi. Its growing acclaim has further strengthened Sheraton Hanoi Hotel’s positioning as a destination for world-class cuisine.
Tiffany Hwang, General Manager of Sheraton Hanoi Hotel, added: "We’re incredibly proud to see Hemispheres not only recognized as a flagship dining experience within our hotel but also celebrated internationally. This award is a true reflection of the commitment and talent of our culinary and service teams."
As Hemispheres continues its journey of culinary discovery and innovation, its Michelin recognition reinforces the restaurant’s role in elevating Vietnam’s fine-dining scene to new heights.
