The Anam Cam Ranh’s fine dining restaurant The Colonial has introduced an indulgent degustation menu that celebrates an eccentric array of Vietnamese ingredients, albeit with French finesse.

Replete with an open kitchen, grand piano, and courtyard with a canopy of established gardens, The Colonial is serving a new six-course menu crafted by The Anam Cam Ranh’s executive chef Duy Anh Nguyen with optional wine pairing.

The feast begins with an amuse-bouche comprising a giant clam with sausage and daikon jams, caramelised miso glaze, herbs and salmon roe, as well as Vietnamese beef tartare with caramelised cashew, fish sauce, crispy garlic and betel leaf.

Following an entrée of salted mackerel with fermented star fruit, sour broth, chrysanthemum, and coriander oil, the first main dish is a 14-day dry-aged duck breast with pumpkin flower, black apple amazake, brown butter fermented tofu sauce.

After mango and passion fruit sorbet with oolong tea cordial and yellow raisin to cleanse the palate, the second main is grain 150-day Black Angus tenderloin with eggplant puree, beef jus infused with homemade chili and basil, accompanied with Vietnamese ST25 fragrant rice with corn and green beans.

The degustation is rounded off with Tahini ice cream with sesame chip, caramelised hajikami and coconut milk sauce, Nha Trang tofu pudding.

Wines from Australia, France and Italy complement each course as part of an optional wine pairing.

“Vietnamese cuisine is renowned the world over for its distinct flavour combinations thanks to vibrant ingredients such as aromatic herbs, spices and sauces,” Mr Duy Anh said. “Our new menu celebrates Vietnam’s combinations of ingredients and contrasting textures with an undeniable French influence.”

With a design that is an echo of Vietnam’s bygone Indochine-era, The Anam Cam Ranh’s The Colonial specialises in modern European and French dishes with Vietnamese nuances.

Located near The Anam Cam Ranh’s open-air lobby and to the left of the quaint Saigon Bar, The Colonial serves a premium European buffet and a la carte menu for breakfast and is the resort’s club lounge by day for guests of premium suites and villas.

Guests booked into the Ocean View Pool Villas, Ocean Front Pool Villas, Honeymoon Villas, Terrace Sea View Suites and The Anam Terrace Suites may use the club lounge from 7am until 5pm daily before it becomes the resort’s fine dining restaurant by night.

The Anam Cam Ranh was recently recognized as one of the 100 best hotels in the world, landing on prestigious Fodor’s Finest Hotels list for 2025.
