The Albion by Kirk Westaway

Perched on the 23rd floor of Hôtel des Arts Saigon, The Albion by Kirk Westaway is an intimate sanctuary for culinary storytelling and panoramic city views. Drawing its name from the ancient soul of Great Britain, the restaurant serves as a bridge between eras - where traditional heritage is exquisitely reimagined through a contemporary European lens.

The Albion by Kirk Westaway introduces a refined European elegance to Saigon, offering a dining journey defined by its distinctive character. At the heart of the experience is the Bar, a sanctuary of old-world sophistication featuring rich wood paneling that evokes the hushed, exclusive atmosphere of a historic London gentleman's club. Transitioning into the Dining Room, the space accommodates 60 guests in a setting where classic charm meets modern artistry. With intricate architectural details and polished marble-topped tables, it provides a perfectly curated stage for savoring Chef Kirk’s emotive and contemporary British cuisine.

Collaboratively, Chefs Kirk and Chris have crafted a menu that is both delicate and dynamic. By breathing new life into classic flavors, they offer a novel gastronomic journey through seasonal tasting menus and signatures like Wagyu beef with stout gravy, sea bream with smoky grilled green mussels, and succulent langoustine with refined cocktail sauce. Highlighting a rarity in Vietnam’s dining scene, the kitchen prioritizes the absolute freshest produce - from organic gems in Da Lat to premium global imports - to ensure every dish is clean, bright, and harmonious.

Tatler Tips:

• Request a window-side table to enjoy the panoramic view of Saigon by night, paired with a signature cocktail at the British-style bar before your meal.
• Indulge in the 6-course Tasting Menu with curated natural wine pairings to fully explore Chef Kirk Westaway's "Reinventing British" philosophy.
