The Reverie Saigon and ZS Hospitality unveil Lys in Ho Chi Minh City
Hong Kong based ZS Hospitality has made its international debut with the opening of Lys at The Reverie Saigon bringing a contemporary French culinary identity to Ho Chi Minh City
The Reverie Saigon and ZS Hospitality unveiled Lys in Ho Chi Minh City on October 5th. Lys embodies quiet refinement, luminous local freshness, and personal connection, bridging Italy and Vietnam. Named after the French word for lily and Chef Fabiana Miccoli's grandmother, Lydia, Lys honors hospitality passed down through generations.
Chef Fabiana Miccoli, known for her Michelin-starred career, brings a nuanced, deeply emotional art to Lys' dishes. Her culinary style blends French precision with Italian warmth and Vietnam's sun-drenched herbs. The interiors of Lys, inspired by Art Nouveau and the lily, create a sanctuary that mirrors the restaurant's vision. The dining experience begins in the pre-dining bar with local ingredients before moving to the main dining room, where seasonal produce and local herbs are highlighted using refined French techniques.
Lys' beverage program offers two wine pairing tiers and a selection of seasonal house-fermented beverages and table-side teas. The opening marks ZS Hospitality's tenth anniversary and a symbolic homecoming for the group. New general manager Gerd Kotlorz, with over three decades of luxury hospitality experience, will lead the operation.
