Hoi An Restaurant, Shangri-La Dubai
After living inwards Asia for so long, having eaten inwards countless ‘authentic’ Vietnamese restaurants, too sojourned numerous times inwards the province itself, I was somewhat skeptical reading reviews claiming “amazing too authentic Vietnamese food.” In Dubai… really? Turns out, really, yes!
Hoi An Restaurant does indeed avow to live Dubai’s alone authentic Vietnamese restaurant, too from our moderate encounters with the cuisine, it seems the proclamation has merit. Not alone does the chef too entire kitchen squad hail from Vietnam, so create the service staff. Authenticity of the sense with nutrient too service is boosted yesteryear the South East Asian inspired décor, uniforms, too the beautiful plating of recipes atop bamboo platters too lotus leaves.
