Mane Kitchen & Winebar – A twist on traditional cuisine

Bom is not a new face in Ho Chi Minh City, but actually changed location and concept to casual dining and wine bar about a year ago to become more accessible. Before that, some people may have known them under the name Bom Gastronomy (fine dining restaurant).

Bom's current location is a 3-storey building in the center of District 1 opposite New World Hotel, with a beautiful interior design in a modern industrial style, quite similar to some other familiar names such as Pizza 4P's:

The ground floor is a very large open kitchen.

.The first floor is the main dining area and bar, located indoors and air-conditioned, with a "smart mirror" design that makes it feel much more spacious than it actually is.

The second floor has two private rooms, with an open space for guests who want to sit outdoors.

The first impression for us is that Bom knows how to promote the "Michelin brand". You will see the word Michelin everywhere, from the huge sign next to the door to the menus on the table. They even have a "Michelin combo" menu available with 3 dishes recommended by the Michelin Guide.

Actually, Bom didn't have such a friendly appearance before. A few years ago, the suffix associated with Bom was "Gastronomy", meaning a high-class restaurant with complex dishes presented in a sophisticated manner. But then, with the desire to get closer to Vietnamese people, Bom transformed into Bom Kitchen & Wine Bar, offering more options (from 20 dishes on the menu to 40 dishes), more accessible (the price is no less than , from a restaurant with a maximum of 30 diners to a 3-story restaurant). Expanding scale, meeting more people means more challenges, and Bom is still learning how to adapt every day.

As for cultural interference, you will understand immediately when looking at the menu: beef, carrots, green onions and cilantro combined with Italian tart shell; Complete tortellini with crab paste - the most popular dish in Bom; “cham diagonal” includes grilled fish and couscous rice; or the cocktail "Betel and Areca" which is both fun, warming, and good for your health. Bom claims to be a Vietnamese-European fusion restaurant - Pure Vietnamese ingredients are varied and blended with the unique features of Western cuisine, creating new flavors and forms for traditional dishes, serving customers. modern diners.

Besides, if there is one thing Bom is proud of, it is the wine "collection" at the restaurant. And although Vietnamese flavors such as sticky rice wine and rice wine are still absent, or most of the desserts still do not have their own highlights, Bom has built an excellent menu that is both personal and delicious. The ability to "touch" many people - both bringing the world to Vietnam and also bringing Vietnam to the world.

“Upscale casual dining”, as described by Bom, is one of the most popular segments in the West, with a cozy space and service style no less than high-end restaurants. Ho Chi Minh City currently does not have many fusion restaurants that take advantage of modern variations, and Bom will continue to develop its strengths to affirm its position. And “Bom doesn't put much emphasis on competition, just trying to do his best. So far it seems that Bom's direction is still correct."
