Meet the Chef
Chef Duong Nguyen
Born in Hanoi, Chef Duong grew up surrounded by the intoxicating aromas of his grandmother’s kitchen. Her phở, simmered for 24 hours with bones, star anise, and cinnamon, became the foundation of his culinary philosophy.
After training in some of Vietnam’s most prestigious kitchens and traveling through Southeast Asia to perfect regional techniques, Chef Duong brought his vision to Madrid in 2013, opening a restaurant that would bridge two cultures through the universal language of flavor.
"Every dish tells a story. Mine tells the story of Vietnam."
