Vietnam's presence in the list of world's top fine dining venues reflects its growing stature on the global culinary map.

In recent years, it has repeatedly emerged as a bright spot in international gastronomy.

The Michelin Guide's 2025 edition named a record 181 restaurants across Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, nine of them one-starred.

Hanoi also won the "World's Best Culinary City Destination" at the 2024 World Culinary Awards.

Topping this year's Tripadvisor list is Fogón Asado in Buenos Aires, Argentina, a steakhouse celebrated for its traditional wood-fired grilling experience. Singapore's KOMA took second place, while The Witchery in Edinburgh, Scotland, was fourth.

The "World's Best Fine Dining Restaurants" ranking is part of Tripadvisor's annual Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Restaurants awards.
