WMC Group Announces The Rebirth Of Vietnam House

08 June 2017

The restored colonial building once housed the famed Café L’Imperial in the early 1900s, and was a popular destination for the city’s affluent business class. The new Vietnam House Restaurant is set to bring back the nostalgia and charm of the storied street corner. Waiters and waitresses serve classic and modern Vietnamese dishes in a setting featuring hues of vibrant blues and greens complemented by wood accents adorning walls and ceilings.

The menu of Vietnam House Restaurant spans the country with classic dishes selected from North to South delivering a traditional style while reflecting modern trends with culinary impressions from Chef Luke Nguyen. With experiences and knowledge gained by travelling throughout Vietnam, Chef Luke invites diners on a rich gastronomic journey with unique presentations of classic recipes.

Open for lunch and dinner, Vietnam House Restaurant presents a curated menu of the country’s favorite dishes. The signature flavors of Vietnam House revolve around the high quality, fresh produce elegantly prepared and presented in a modern style. Chef Luke and his culinary team source local markets daily to ensure only the freshest fruits and vegetables are used in the kitchen, and use cooking methods that retain and enhance the flavors of the ingredients and spices.

Watch the city’s traffic bustle quietly by through classic arched windows while sipping premium coffees and classic ca phe sua da brewed from the finest Arabica and Robusta beans. To complement your lunch or dinner, select from the expansive wine list featuring 500 varietals including award-winning brands from vineyards around the globe.

The rebirth of Vietnam House takes inspiration from the storied corner of Dong Khoi and Mac Thi Buoi, but inspires guests with a dining experience that complements their unique lifestyle, dining at the highest level with world-class service delivering the best of Vietnamese gastronomy. With the launch of Vietnam House Restaurant, WMC Group and Luke Nguyen have carefully crafted a uniquely “Vietnamese” dining experience worthy of promoting Ho Chi Minh City as a budding destination for global gourmands and tourists to Vietnam.
