Award-winning flavors, lakeside elegance, and a world of taste waiting in Hanoi.
Sheraton Hanoi Hotel is celebrating a remarkable milestone- its third consecutive recognition in the Michelin Selected list. To mark this achievement, the hotel introduces an elevated new menu designed to captivate international travelers seeking both authenticity and sophistication in Hanoi’s culinary landscape.
The Michelin honor helps shine a brighter spotlight on Vietnamese cuisine on the world stage.
Nestled beside the tranquil West Lake, Hemispheres Steak & Seafood Grill- Sheraton Hanoi’s signature dining venue- ushers in a fresh chapter with the launch of its new à-la-carte menu. Here, global gastronomy harmonizes with Vietnamese ingredients, resulting in dishes that feel both refined and deeply rooted in local inspiration. This culinary intersection has long defined the restaurant’s identity, making it a must-visit for gourmands exploring the capital.
Widely known as one of Hanoi’s premier fine-dining destinations, Hemispheres consistently earns praise from discerning diners around the world. Its philosophy centers on impeccable ingredients and masterful technique, allowing each dish to reflect the craftsmanship and thoughtful detail that have become the restaurant’s hallmark.
This dedication has once again been recognized on the international stage. In 2025, Hemispheres enters its third year of 2023, 2024 and now 2025 on the Michelin Selected list, underscoring its enduring excellence, the expertise of its culinary team, and the genuine warmth reflected in its service. Complementing this achievement, the restaurant has also been ranked among the Top 8 in the “Top 20 Fine Dining Restaurants in Hanoi 2024” by Trip.Best. The accolade, derived from millions of traveler reviews across major platforms, reaffirms Hemispheres’ firmly established place on Hanoi’s fine-dining map.
The Michelin Selected Set Menu is poised to delight diners.
To share this success with guests, Sheraton Hanoi Hotel introduces the “Michelin Selected Set Menu,” a curated journey through Vietnam’s flavors and global culinary artistry. Diners begin with Nha Trang tuna carpaccio enhanced with ponzu pearls, orange jelly, and truffle slices- an elegant tribute to Vietnam’s coastal abundance. The experience continues with Hemispheres-style baked Japanese oysters, followed by the menu’s star: A5 Hitachi Wagyu sirloin, perfectly grilled and paired with truffle mashed potatoes and a delicate Japanese sauce. A warm molten chocolate cake with red wine berry compote brings the journey to a sweet, memorable close.
Executive Chef and Director of Food & Beverage, Nguyen Cong Chung, shares, “What sets Hemispheres apart is not only our premium ingredients but also how we tell the story of each region through our dishes. The 2025 menu is a testament to that journey- one that is enduring, inspired, and deeply rooted in identity.” His philosophy continues to shape the restaurant’s evolution as it welcomes travelers eager to experience Vietnam through taste.
The dish features premium Nha Trang lobster, expertly prepared by the executive chefs of Sheraton Hanoi Hotel.
Alongside this celebration, Hemispheres unveils its “2025 New Menu,” a collection inspired by global exploration. Signature creations such as Hemispheres Cured Salmon, Nha Trang Lobster Thermidor, and Australian Wagyu Tomahawk Ribeye transport diners from the shores of Nha Trang to kitchens around the world. Under the creative leadership of Chef Nam Nguyen, protégé of Chef Chung and a rising name in Vietnam’s culinary scene, the new menu unfolds like a “culinary passport,” connecting guests to landscapes that span the Quang An fields to the distant waters of Patagonia.
For travelers seeking plant-forward indulgence, the “Vegetarian Set Menu” promises a luxurious, mindful dining experience. The journey starts with beetroot tartare brightened by citrus notes, followed by a velvety green pea soup infused with truffle oil. Its centerpiece, the “Golden Bamboo” Cannelloni- filled with truffle mushrooms and finished with a cappuccino-style mushroom sauce- showcases depth, creativity and elegance. The finale, a blueberry chocolate sphere, brings the meal to a light, refreshing finish.
These menus invite diners to explore the world through the flavors and stories of Vietnam, offering travelers in Hanoi a culinary journey that lingers long after the last bite.
