    The most incredible service, the most mediocre food. For an exorbitant amount the food was exceptionally unoutstanding with courses such as an OK steak, and a miso toothfish. My brother has made better fine dining food. This was definitely NOT the Michelin level meal I was expecting. What a disappointment. To be seated in such a beautiful area, served so wonderfully by the staff, just to eat ... that. And to pay so much, yikes.

    We hadn't planned on La Maison 1888 for our 14th-anniversary dinner. That's because of our previous "not so great" experience. However, the team at the club lounge insisted we give La Maison another shot and promised it would be different this time. They took the liberty to secure a reservation for our special day before we agreed to go. They went as far as to arrange for La Maison Manager Florian Dabezies and Head Sommelier Jimmy Chang to personally meet us and present their current set menu. As we don't eat beef, we suggested some lamb or fish, namely Dover Sole, which would be lovely to have as a main. However, we wanted to cancel the reservation after Florian presented the set menu for the evening and when fusion Vietnamese dishes popped up. We didn't want to be disappointed for the fourth time. Our preference was quite simple for a fine dining restaurant featuring a celebrity, Michelin Starred chef Pierre Gagnaire. We wanted authentic classic french cuisine. On my first visit to La Maison in 2015, we wrote about our experience with Pierre Gagnaire's French fusion (confusion) cooking style, which incorporates many local flavours and ingredients. It would be great if the flavour profile worked and the presentation didn't look like it came from a food cart? We argue that if we wanted fine dining Vietnamese food, we would go to an excellent Vietnamese restaurant that specialises in the local dishes, not a famous french chef's version of the same thing. But, of course, he's renowned for a reason. Plenty of people love Chef Gagnaire's food, and he doesn't need to prove that to anyone at this stage in life. After three tries, we were somewhat sceptical that La Maison could not create the taste of France we were dying for or couldn't convince Chef Gagnaire to allow them to create a menu that suited us? But Florian and his team persisted, pulled no punches, and completely changed our minds. From the excellent service, we got from Toan, Florian to Chef Pierre Emmanuel's interpretation of the classic French meal he prepared and served tableside. Not to mention the beautiful bouquet they gave us to celebrate our special night. It was what we wanted, simple and elegant in both flavours and presentation. He told us that he enjoyed the challenge presented. Was it like Chef Pierre Emmanuel just cooked from the heart and his childhood memories? To our surprise, Chef Pierre Emmanuel was a pastry chef, but he was a master that night. Appetiser was a Terrine of French duck foie gras with a fig sweet onion chutney and toasted brioche. Can you get more French than that? The next dish was a delicious Pan-sautéed Langoustine paired with Paris mushrooms duxelle and white butter sauce with truffle; doesn't that sound sexy? For the star of the night, the mains. We had the Turbot meuniere with mashed potatoes, and caviar osciètre. The other main was a double-cut lamb chop with potatoes and garlic croquettes. Can't complete the meal without the chef's specialities, dessert! A duet of soufflés, decadent Chocolate and naughty Grand Marnier. Just describing the dishes made us salivate all over again. Thank you, Chef Pierre Emmanuel, for taking us on a culinary journey through France. And thank you, Chef Gagnaire, for signing off on our special menu. Finally, we can't forget the great wine recommended by Jimmy. No French cuisine would be complete without a great bottle of wine. He chose a 2014 Margaux for us that paired exquisitely with the Lamb. After reading my review on TripAdvisor in 2015, Seif Hamdy, who at the time was the F&B Director at the hotel, personally contacted us and expressed his apologies for our experience at La Maison, he invited us back to try a new menu prepared just for us. Seif is now the hotel's General Manager. If it weren't for Seif convincing us to come back and give it another try, we probably would've ended our Intercontinental Danang experience on that first trip in 2015.

    This was about $300 USD for the 4 course menu & 2 drinks. It was way too experimental for my tastes. The piece of steak I was served was so fatty, I only ate about 25% of it. The service and atmosphere were excellent.

    Went for dinner there a few years back and was a memorable experience. The hotel that Maison is located in is truly beautiful. You have to use their cable car to get to the restaurant and that creates a dramatic entrance. Overall the food and beverage is typical French fine dining and a little expensive but worth the experience. The food was presented well. Wines were served at the right temperature and they had a cozy bar as well.on the side.

    Excellent service 5 star We had a 16 course meal. And honestly I had higher expectation knowing this is a 3 star Michelin Chef restaurant. Give a 4 star for food But their staffs are very attention to detail. Even knowing that I am allergic to yeast and offered an alternative instead of pasta or bread We weren’t also expecting a surprise dessert making it a 17 course meal. We were really full after eating so much but we truly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!

    Excellent! Had the 3 course (which was more like 6 course because of the petit fours, vodka granita and bread) Fine dining Michelin starred french food Lives up to the hype and price tag Enjoyed every morsel that was served Restaurant ambience was amazing and service even more spectacular One of the few things that was done well at the Intercontinental Danang. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

    The only Michelin-star restaurant in entire Vietnam! French concept Overall I think they deserve only 1 star and not 3 star due to overall food taste and experience which ill explain. Staff forgot to give cutlery, mosquito in my wine, seating arrangement, very disappointing. The manager of the restaurant did nothing to solve the problem. Conversation by email is very responsive from the restaurant side. Located in the intercontinental hotel in da nang but be mindful that the hotel is 30 minutes away from the main area of da nang Restaurant dont accept walk in F&b manager Oliver was very helpful in guiding the way and explaining the property, very professional and very service-friendly attitude! A true hospitality When arrived at the restaurant, immediately I’ll cut a point. I made a reservation one month before and instead of finding a good table for me and giving me the table booth, they arranged for my table to be the last table at the door. Very disappointing for a michelin star restaurant! So disappointing! Also for a Michelin star, tables are too close to each other For amuse boche, the staff served me but forgot to give spoon to eat with, funny haha Watermelon should be more cold to bring out the taste, the other small bite was good Anchovy butter was sooooo goood!! Well done for this! The first dish, caviar with vegetables , sweet potato is quite good, nice caviar, good presentation Recommend - Choose a good white wine to pair with this dish Second dish focuses on scallops and a side of ravioli. Scallop is beautiful cooked! Nice texture! loved the dish! Amazing however ravioli taste is bland, too salty and the ravioli is too hard! Poor Presentation for this dish Turbot escapole : Third Dish Presentation is so bad! Its looks like the fish has died in a murky lake water or baby dish Potato cream is good but the fish is too dry Bad cook and no taste Poor dish, poorly executed Final dish / main dish : kagoshima beef Beef is beautifully cooked Good presentation Macaroni taste is terrible Beef very good but there is no French in it when combined with the side dish! I love really the bread pairing as the bread show case the French culture of the dbakery. The bread is very soft, and nicely baked. Amazing! When ordered wine, there was mosquito in my glass. The restaurant just change my wine and nothing else was done. I believe 1 star is deserved, but not 3. The chef Pierre should come check the restaurant more often More importantly, there is no story to the food which is important for the food, therefore i highly suspect how they got 3 star. Moreoeve, no wow factor! Lastly, the wine has been marked up by more than 400%!

    Beautiful resort, great service BUT honestly the worst expensive meal I've ever had in my life unfortunately. When you can get a better tasting meal for 200X cheaper in Vietnam it's really sad. I even paid extra for the black truffle add-on but it was very tasteless.

    The Wine dinner at La Maison 1888 made us the most memorable birthday ever. My husband and I were finding a restaurant for my birthday and the banner of Albert Bichot wine dinner on the resort wall sounded perfect to spend our special evening. The moment we received a warm welcome and led to the bar, we knew we made the right choice. Looking at the stunning ocean view, we started with fresh champagne and the appetizing canapés on the terrace. One of the scallop canapé and the light wasabi cream balanced each other's flavor fabulously, which reinforced the fresh fruity note of the champagne. Surely a wonderful pairing! The first course was the oyster dish. We still can not forget how amazed we were when we saw the plating. Look how simple, but eye-catching the dish was! Of course, the taste was perfect. The creaminess of the oyster and refreshing sauce was indeed perfect to enjoy the refreshing Albert Bichot Chablis Premier Cru Fourchaume! It was an outstanding experience to hear all the detailed descriptions of the wines from Mr.Bichot and the Head Sommelier. As the second course, the chef slicing the whole pigeon pithiviers brought extra joy to our evening. The pithiviers with morels and duck foie gras were extremely smooth and the buttery pastry was amazing. The way the chef explained the story behind the dish brought our experience to the next level. Moreover, the structure of the paired wine, Château Gris Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Monopole, was wonderful, giving our favorite woody notes but finished with a berry note! The service was phenomenal as the head sommelier nicely described the structure of the wine as the wine changed. The last beef course was an excellent representation of classic French cuisine. The fatty beef was creating a fantastic balance with the Domaine du Clos Frantin Echezeaux Grand Cru. The beef fat enhanced the spicy note and taste of the chocolate note at the finish. We finished both of our dishes before we realize we are very full. I would like to carefully say that this wine dinner was perfect where the taste of Pierre Gagnaire’s spirit blended with Albert Bichot wines. The service was elegant and organized. We can not feel more welcome than this from every one of the staff members, who surprised us by celebrating our special day with a cake and heartwarming words! We genuinely would like to visit La Maison 1888 for their seasonal courses. Thank you for making this great memory that we could take back to Korea. 저희에게 오래 기억될 특별한 시간을 선물해주셔서 감사합니다 :)

    Before that, staff is very considerate and see any food or drinks to be restricted or any allergy. On that night, their service is very professional. Always in right time to come and serve and we have enough time to enjoy each course. They also explain each cuisine in details. They did bear in mind who is needed to avoid alcoholic when serving dishes to us. Foods of course very delicious and tasty and look very nice and in details. Reli amazing! As quite late night, we have difficulty to book Grab and they helped us to arrange taxi also. They show their professional, sincere and friendly. We have a wonderful and memorable night. Reli highly recommend to enjoy dinner there!

    Lovely setting, albeit a bit out of the way. The quality of the food and the service were very inconsistent. From chaotic to good but far from excellent. At the prices they charge, I would expect a far more professional and consistent standards than what we experienced. Would not return nor recommend it.

    Great food great décor and vibes. You’ll have to take a funicular from the hotel to the restaurant which offers great view of the beach and the Citron restaurant. The majority of the menu doesn’t change much but the appetizer so there was no written description of the appetizer when we went. Prepared to eat a lot if you order the full 5 course menu

    The service at the Intercontinental hotel and resort and the restaurant was impeccable. It was a rainy evening but we were well taken care of before dinner. At dinner, we were served with the best care and dishes. We loved the French cuisine that was creatively prepared with a touch of local flavours. Very refreshing indeed. Special shout out to Dao, who was attentive to our needs during dinner and Jimmy who gave us a tour of the cellar while we wait for the arrival of our cab. Thanks also to Ling, who welcomed us at the cable car and showed us the way in the dark, stormy night.

    Service was impeccable, staff were kind and knowledgeable. Food.. disappointing. Especially the Australian wagyu, did not taste like wagyu at all. Desserts were underwhelming, chocolate cake finisher was dry. We spent over $650/person drinks etc, it definitely was a let down to end our stay at the Intercontinental…

    It is very international and they try hard but it is "great cuisine" without being spectacular in presentation or taste. Don't get me wrong... It is great food and for the new years eve event it was delicious. But going to tasting menus a lot it doesn't smoke, sparkle or surprise with weird texture, while putting it in your mouth. It is just well prepped and the staff is top notch. Also the cocktails are great. We paid 1300 euros for 3 people, not including any wine but a bunch of cocktails and mocktails per person. The resort is far off the main city Danang and you have to drive there for about 20mins

    Absolutely outstanding. A must try Michelin 3-star French cuisine if you are in Da Nang. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Rob w. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent service and atmosphere starting from when you drive into the hotel campus and down the path to the entrance. It’s what you expect from a Michelin Star restaurant. We went for an anniversary and it did not disappoint. The only thing we would change is the chocolate soufflé; it was a bit too big even for two people. But, that’s never a deal breaker.

    Amazing Louis XIII Cognac dinner at La Maison 1888 restaurant, located in InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort. Delicious 4 courses menu with Remy Martin Cognac and Louis XIII at the end. Highly recommend this restaurant for those who want to discover French cuisine. Staffs also professional and friendly, made us feel like home.

    Wonderful dinner with the special presence of Domaines Albert Bichot and the man Christophe Bichot. Outstanding menu overall with highlights of the pigeon wellington (so perfectly done) with Clos Frantin Vosne Romanee 1er les Malconsorts and the blue crab meat with the legendary le Moutonne chablis GC!!! I was amazed by the hospitality and professionalism of fellow sommelier Mr Jimmy and Mr Venkat. Undisputed service and pairing hands-down 🤩🍷

    My visit to the La Maison 1888 was an exquisite experience, one that left me yearning for more. From the moment I stepped foot inside, the restaurant's vibrant atmosphere and charming decor immediately captivated my senses. Upon being seated, I was greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to guide me through the menu and offer their expert recommendations. Their passion for the culinary arts was evident, and their attention to detail added an extra layer of enjoyment to the overall dining experience. The menu at La Maison 1888 showcased a fusion of flavors and innovative dishes that left a lasting impression. Each dish was a work of art, both visually stunning and bursting with harmonious flavors. The use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients was apparent, resulting in an array of dishes that were not only delicious but also highlighted the restaurant's commitment to quality. My experience at La Maison was nothing short of outstanding. The restaurant's attention to detail, innovative yet delectable dishes, and warm and inviting ambiance made for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend this establishment to any food enthusiast who appreciates exceptional service and truly remarkable cuisine.

    Such a great luck to be able to attend the once-in-a-year Billecart Salmon wine dinner. The food and the wine are wonderful fantastic delicious while the price is so cheap. It must be higher not only because of the food but also the service ~~

    One of the best experience in Da Nang is Wine Dinner (the King of Cognac - Louis XIII de Remy Martin) hosted at La Maison 1888. The food pairing with wine was beyond excellent and ervice here was tremendously professional. It’s such an unfoggetable memory.
