Da Nang’s 2026 MICHELIN list has 1 one-star restaurant and 23 Bib Gourmand picks, 47 in total including the Selected restaurants.
This guide lists the star and all 23 Bib Gourmand places, each with its address, what it serves and a Google Maps link, so you do not have to compare a dozen blog posts.
Compiled from the official MICHELIN Guide website, 2026 edition (checked September 2026). Openings and closures follow the guide and each restaurant’s own announcements.
- We went through the 2026 Da Nang list on the official MICHELIN Guide website one restaurant at a time.
- Almost every Bib Gourmand is a small shop: walk in, queue, busiest in the morning. The single star sits inside a resort on the Son Tra Peninsula, so book early.
Stars, Bib Gourmand and Selected: what is the difference?
The MICHELIN Guide arrived in Vietnam in 2023, starting with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Da Nang was added later, and the list is re-evaluated every year.
You will see three marks on the list, and they mean different things:
- Stars (⭐): for the cooking. One star means high quality, worth a stop. Da Nang has 1 one-star restaurant and no two- or three-star ones.
- Bib Gourmand: good quality at a friendly price. Da Nang has 23, almost all local noodle and snack shops.
- MICHELIN Selected: inspected and recommended, but without a star or a Bib this year. Da Nang has 23.
What makes Da Nang different from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City is the balance: only one star, with almost everything in the Bib Gourmand list. So rather than planning a MICHELIN dinner here, plan your street food.
Da Nang MICHELIN Star restaurant 2026 (1)
Da Nang’s only star is not in the city. It sits inside a resort on the Son Tra Peninsula and serves French cuisine.
It is roughly 30 to 40 minutes by car from the centre, up a winding road, and rides are hard to find late at night, so most people either stay the night or book a car both ways.
Da Nang Bib Gourmand 2026 (all 23)
These 23 are the heart of the Da Nang list: mostly small shops where you sit down and order one bowl, and two or three in a day is normal. They are grouped below by what they serve.
Noodles and noodle soups
Da Nang snacks: pancakes and rice cakes
Vietnamese, seafood and international
You can see how concentrated the list is: fish cake noodles, Hue beef noodles, Quang noodles, banh xeo and banh beo. Each has two or three options, so if one is closed, try the next one nearby.
First time in Da Nang: which should you pick?
- Only two or three days and you want local flavours: go straight for the Bib Gourmand shops and start with fish cake noodles and Quang noodles.
- Staying near My Khe Beach: the Ngu Hanh Son entries are a walk or a short ride away, no need to head into the centre.
- With family, and you want to sit down: pick the places with seats and air conditioning, such as Thìa Gỗ, Quê Xưa or Ăn Thôi.
- Vegetarian: Ngọc Chi and Shamballa are the vegetarian entries on the list.
- Something different: Rang and Indian Aroma serve Indian food, a good break after several days of Vietnamese meals.
A one-day Hai Chau street food route
The city-centre entries cluster in Hai Chau, on the Han River side, and link up on foot. This is the order we usually suggest:
Morning: a bowl of fish cake noodles on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street for breakfast
Late morning: walk along the Han River to the Dragon Bridge and the Pink Church
Lunch: Quang noodles on Le Hong Phong Street, or cross to Hoa Cuong for banh xeo
Afternoon: a cafe break, out of the hottest hours
Early evening: cross the river to My Khe Beach for sunset
Evening: the Ngu Hanh Son shops, or seafood back in the centre
Small shops keep their own hours and a midday break is normal. The centre and My Khe sit on opposite sides of the Han River, so allow time when you cross.
For how many days to spend in Da Nang and where to stay, see our Da Nang travel guide.
Before you go
- Bring cash: most street food shops are cash only, so change some small notes first. See our Vietnam money guide.
- Seating: tables and stools at these shops are small and sharing a table is normal, so leave your luggage behind.
- Timing: noodle and rice cake shops close once they sell out, so go early.
- Which side of the river: the centre (Hai Chau) and the beach (Ngu Hanh Son) face each other across the Han River, so try to keep one meal on one side.
- The list changes: MICHELIN re-evaluates every year, and addresses and opening hours change too. Check again before you go.
Fitting MICHELIN meals into your Da Nang trip
The city centre is the easy part. What takes time is crossing the region: the star on the Son Tra Peninsula, Ba Na Hills, Hoi An Ancient Town and Hue are all some distance apart, and the return trip eats up the day.
If you also want to see the sights that day, these make it easier:
To choose between Hoi An, Ba Na Hills and Hue for your day trip, see our Da Nang day trip guide.
