Viet Nam Continues to Shine at Readers’ Choice Awards 2025: A Culinary and Cultural Gem

Viet Nam has once again affirmed its rising status on the global travel map, securing a prestigious position in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards 2025. The nation’s unique blend of vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and world-class cuisine earned high praise from discerning global readers, solidifying its place not only as a top destination but specifically as a leading culinary powerhouse.

The World’s Fourth Best Culinary Destination

In the highly competitive category of “The Best Countries for Food in the World,” Viet Nam proudly ranked 4th globally with an impressive score of 96.67. This achievement places the country's cuisine ahead of many traditional gastronomic giants.

Condé Nast Traveller specifically highlighted the authentic essence of Vietnamese food, noting:

"We’ve all seen the lush scenes of stripy paddies in Viet Nam, and so it’s no wonder that the ingredients here are some of the freshest around. Rice comes in all shapes and sizes – steaming bowls, delicate vermicelli noodles, paper rolls – but is always topped with locally grown vegetables, tender meats, and a potent herby scent. Any backpacker will vouch for the street food spots, from floating markets like Cai Rang to alleyway hideouts like Xom Chieuas, dishing up the pinnacle of Vietnamese cuisine at dirt-cheap prices. But if you’re after something a little more refined, head to Ciel Dining in Ho Chi Minh City, chosen as one of the best new restaurants for our 2025 Hot List."
