Led by Chef de Cuisine Fabiana Miccoli, the new contemporary destination weaves classic French refinement, expressive Italian warmth, and vibrant Vietnamese produce into an intimate culinary dialogue.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 5th October 2026 – On 15th October, an expressive new story unfolds at The Reverie Saigon as Hong Kong-based ZS Hospitality marks its international debut with Lys. Rooted in a gentle, contemporary French culinary identity, Lys combines quiet refinement, luminous local freshness and poetic personal connection bridging Italy and Vietnam. The opening is a pivotal moment, contributing to the collective ambition of establishing Ho Chi Minh City as one of Asia’s premier gastronomic destinations.
Named after the French word for lily and honoring Chef Fabiana Miccoli’s grandmother, Lydia, Lys is a personal tribute to hospitality passed down through generations. Chef Fabiana’s distinctive culinary style masterfully balances precision and expressiveness, infusing each dish with clarity and elegance. Having secured two MICHELIN stars for L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in 2026, alongside tenures with Heinz Beck as well as Anne-Sophie Pic at the two-MICHELIN-starred Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne, Switzerland, she brings a nuanced, deeply emotional art to the table. On the plate at Lys, precise French foundations are elevated by intuitive Italian warmth and illuminated by Vietnam’s rich tapestry of sun-drenched herbs and native produce.
