A New Culinary Chapter: Four Seasons The Nam Hai Ushers in Vietnam’s Next Gastronomic Era
January 2026 – A culinary reset on Vietnam’s central coast: Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai unveils the relaunch of Lá Sen and Café Nam Hai, marking a new chapter in the resort’s gastronomic direction. Under the leadership of Australian Executive Chef Heath Gordon, both restaurants have been conceptually reimagined—more modern, more focused, and centered on dining as an immersive experience.
Following its transformation, Café Nam Hai introduces a new evening fine-dining concept inspired by the aromatic diversity of India. Meanwhile, Lá Sen, set directly on the beachfront, blends Vietnamese flavors with a refined French touch in a contemporary setting.
Together with the recently opened NAYUU, a new culinary identity is taking shape at The Nam Hai—positioning Hoi An as an exciting destination for modern gastronomy.
At Café Nam Hai, dinner becomes a tribute to the Silk Road. The new fine-dining concept celebrates the artistry of Indian spices with remarkable finesse, translating traditional recipes into a contemporary language—atmospheric, intense, and deeply elegant. It is a form of culinary alchemy, where the warmth of Indian flavors meets the lightness of local ingredients, creating an experience that goes far beyond the ordinary.
Lá Sen redefines beachfront dining: here, the soul of Vietnam merges with the precision of French haute cuisine. A place where the sound of the ocean sets the rhythm for a menu that embodies lightness and sophistication. The restaurant’s new culinary direction is a tribute to the heritage of Indochina—reimagined for the discerning palate of today.
