Madame Hiên - Didier Corlou's new Vietnamese restaurant

Madame Hiên : why ?

“This restaurant is a dedication to my wife’s grandmother and to all Vietnamese women of the past and the present.

It is also a tribute to their way of cooking, their ancestral culture and the artisanal and regional knowledge of over one thousand years.

The rich diversity of Vietnam, found in its two deltas, fifty four minorities, three thousand kilometers of coastline and many natural resources (rivers, forests, mountains and oceans) is reflected in its cuisine.

Discover Mother’s cuisine through the perfume of the 36 streets…”

Didier Corlou

La Verticale Restaurant

You can taste the delicacies in a villa built during the 1930s based on French and Indochina architecture. This villa has been the occasional working and residence place of a mandarin from Hue under Bao Dai, it has been restored but only at minimum to keep most of the aspects from that period.

There are five principal colours very representative of this architecture: green, yellow, black, white and orange. These five colours are also symbols of the five seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter and the fifth one is called the “transition season” which lasts for 21 days.

In the restaurant, you can also see glimpses into Corlou’s life as well, through the framed white-and-black photographs depicting his and his Vietnamese wife’s families through six generations.
