ÚNU Art-Inspired Eatery & Bar: When Drinks Tell Stories

I. ÚNU Eatery: Where Gastronomy Becomes a Living Extension of Art

Located within ANIMA Hotel in the heart of bustling District 1, Saigon, ÚNU Eatery embraces the modern energy of the city while also serving as a quiet pause where diners can sit down, leave the rush of the outside world behind, and reconnect with the flavours of their homeland and the soul within.

Every small detail, from the presentation of each dish and the choice of materials used for tables and chairs to the service style and displayed artworks, is thoughtfully designed to awaken every sense. This is why the restaurant consistently finds its way onto the must visit lists of diners seeking sophistication and cultural depth in every meal.

More than simply a menu of flavours, the dining selection at ÚNU Eatery is an artistic anthology celebrating the abundance of nature and the rhythm of the seasons. For the "artisans" here, the talented chefs and bartenders, every plate and every glass becomes a blank canvas where they are free to express their creativity and craft with endless inspiration.

Culinary Artworks Painted with Local Ingredients

At ÚNU Eatery, every dish is a contemporary work of art, with the plate becoming a canvas where chefs, true culinary artisans, are free to create. The food menu celebrates the freshness and purity of seasonal ingredients, preserving the rustic soul of local produce while reinterpreting it through a bold and innovative lens. Beyond satisfying the palate, each dish at ÚNU Eatery also sparks visual curiosity through spontaneous and artistic presentation.

Liquid Stories: Seven Personal Memories, One Shared Language

Alongside its refined dishes is an equally distinctive beverage menu, where language becomes the medium through which stories are expressed. One of its highlights is the signature cocktail collection Liquid Stories, deeply inspired by the creative journeys of seven artists at the ANIMA Saigon art space. Here, every drink brings together the precision of modern Mixology with seasonal fruits, creating layers of flavour with emotional depth and transforming cocktail appreciation into a captivating Gastronomy experience.

II. Liquid Stories and Head Bar Dũng Nguyễn: The Art of Storytelling Through Cocktails

If food is the soul, then the beverage menu is the catalyst that shapes the distinctive personality of ÚNU Eatery. The most remarkable highlight behind the bar is Liquid Stories, a signature cocktail menu proudly inspired by the unique creative journeys of talented artists involved in the art project at ANIMA Saigon. Each cocktail in this collection acts as an invisible work of art, where layers of emotion and inspiration are skillfully "translated" and transformed into drinks with remarkable depth and character.

The creative force behind Liquid Stories is none other than Head Bar Dũng Nguyễn, a talented figure who has earned an impressive place among the Top 8 of Campari Vietnam 2024 and Top 20 of World Class Vietnam 2025. With nearly a decade dedicated to the art of Mixology, Dũng Nguyễn has consistently pursued a storytelling approach to bartending. Through his refined technique and the sensitivity of a true flavour artist, he transforms even the simplest ingredients into melodic expressions, creating a delicate balance between layers of flavour while leaving diners with deeply memorable impressions.
