The Albion by Kirk Westaway · Restaurant · Saigon
Modern European cooking on the 23rd floor of Hotel des Arts, from the chef behind JAAN in Singapore.
The Albion occupies the twenty-third floor of Hotel des Arts Saigon, an MGallery property in District 3, and the room is built around the view: floor-to-ceiling glass on the city side, with the Saigon skyline running out past the window line after dark. Dinner is the only service, from 5:30pm, which means the room fills as the light goes.
The kitchen is led by Kirk Westaway, the British chef behind JAAN by Kirk Westaway in Singapore, which holds two Michelin stars. The cooking here follows the same line of thinking: modern European technique applied to British ideas, plated with restraint rather than decoration. The Albion is listed in the MICHELIN Guide Vietnam, and in 2025 it appeared on Tatler's Best Restaurants lists for both Asia Pacific and Vietnam.
Expect a tasting format rather than a long a la carte. Produce drives the menu and it changes with what is available, so the specific dishes move through the year. Service is formal without being stiff, and the pacing assumes you are staying for the evening rather than eating and leaving.
This is a dinner for an occasion, and it reads that way: the room is quiet enough to talk across the table, the wine list is serious, and the floor is one of the few in the city where the view and the cooking are both the reason you came. Book ahead for a window table, which is the seat everyone wants and the first to go.
Address: 23F, Hotel des Arts Saigon, 76-78 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon
