Banyan Tree Lăng Cô’s 2 MICHELIN Keys x Nén’s MICHELIN Green Star
A dining experience is only truly complete when every touchpoint is guided by a clear philosophy from the very beginning.
Banyan Tree Lăng Cô and Nén share a common belief in conscious cuisine, sustainable living, and harmony between people and nature. These shared values gave rise to “Sea & Tree” - a bespoke 6-course set menu designed by Chef Summer Le, rooted in a “Consciously Vietnamese” spirit, inspired by the distinctive landscapes and local heritage of Lăng Cô.

Founded in 2017, Nén Danang has been a prominent pioneer in modern Vietnamese fine dining. Nestled in the largest city of Central Vietnam, Nén Danang is dedicated to exploring the vast potential of Vietnamese ingredients and culture.
Nén was founded and is led by Chef Summer Le, a prominent figure in the Vietnamese culinary scene known for her creativity and dedication to reimagining Vietnamese cuisine. She oversees every detail of the brand’s innovative concepts, ensuring that each element reflects her vision.
In 2024, she was honored with Vietnam’s first and only MICHELIN Green Star, recognizing her commitment to sustainability and culinary excellence.
Lăng Cô exists at the edge of things: where the sea almost becomes land, and the land opens toward the sky. The banyan sends its branches outward, and from them, roots descend. Over time, they become new shelters, new communities. It does not ask what it receives in return. It simply gives, and allows life to gather.
At Nén, we have always believed that cooking is an act of listening to the land, and to the people who tend it. Created for Banyan Tree Lăng Cô, “Sea and Tree” is a tribute to a landscape shaped by water, wind, and care. I hope this meal feels like resting beneath the banyan, as evening settles over the sea.
Sea & Tree unfolds in six courses, specially designed by Chef Summer Le of Nén for Banyan Tree Lăng Cô.
Inspired by the coastline, forest, and natural abundance of Lăng Cô, the menu brings together Banyan Tree’s deep sense of place and exceptional hospitality with Nén’s storytelling approach to contemporary Vietnamese gastronomy.
By championing hyperlocal ingredients and respecting their natural integrity, Banyan Tree Lăng Cô and Nén bring to life a shared philosophy of sustainable dining - a meeting of values reflected in Banyan Tree Lăng Cô’s 2 MICHELIN Keys and Nén’s MICHELIN Green Star.
