CAM RANH, Vietnam (Feb. 27, 2026) – The Anam Cam Ranh’s fine dining restaurant The Colonial has launched a “boundary-pushing” degustation menu characterised by innovative combinations of Vietnamese and international ingredients, flavours and textures.
The Anam Cam Ranh’s chefs Duy Anh Nguyen and Banh Thanh Toan have created the new six-course menu with optional wine pairing at The Colonial, replete with an open kitchen, grand piano, and courtyard with a canopy of established gardens.
The affair begins with an amuse-bouche comprising a giant clam with sausage and daikon jams, miso cauliflower sauce, herbs and salmon roe, as well as Vietnamese beef tartare with caramelised cashew fish sauce, crispy garlic and betel leaf. Following a starter of Hokkaido scallop ceviche with pink pomelo, yellow tangerine, Wakame cracker, kimchi broth and imperial caviar, a soup comprising poached buttermilk Black Cod fish, ponzu caramelized onion, green chilli kosho and creamy caviar relish sauce is served.
After laska lime sorbet to cleanse the palate, the main is grain 150-day Black Angus tenderloin with eggplant puree, beef jus infused with homemade chili and basil, accompanied with Vietnamese ST25 fragrant rice with corn and green beans.The degustation is rounded off with dark chocolate custard (75% cacao) with fermented coffee sauce and coconut ice-cream.
Wines from Italy, Australia, Chile, France and Portugal complement each course as part of an optional wine pairing.
“We set out to push the boundaries by pairing Vietnamese ingredients with international flavours and techniques in unexpected ways,” Mr Duy Anh said. “The menu is about contrast – delicate and bold, familiar and surprising – coming together in a way that tells a contemporary story of Vietnamese cuisine.”
With a design that is an echo of Vietnam’s bygone Indochine-era, The Anam Cam Ranh’s The Colonial specialises in modern European and French dishes with Vietnamese nuances.

About The Anam Group
After the auspicious debut of The Anam Cam Ranh in 2017, the independently owned and operated The Anam Group celebrated the grand opening of its second property, The Anam Mui Ne, in January 2023, and multipurpose convention centre Axi Plaza in Cam Ranh in April, 2024.
With “Indochine Charm” and “Modern Luxury” as its watchwords, the group blends colonial-era aesthetics and attentive Vietnamese service with modern comforts and convenience. “The Anam” today is a reference to another name, “An Nam”, which was the name of Central Vietnam during the French Indochina era.
The Anam Cam Ranh overlooks 300 metres of beachfront on Vietnam’s scenic Cam Ranh peninsula, which averages more than 300 sunny days per year. The luxurious five-star resort boasts 77 villas and 136 rooms and suites.
