CieL Dining x Classic Fine Food x Imperial Caviar Berlin: Caviar Soirée
On the evening of June 20th, the doors of CieL Dining opened for a special one-night-only event: Caviar Soirée, a celebration of refined craftsmanship, culinary creativity, and the purity of exceptional ingredients.
This exclusive evening marked the collaboration between Imperial Caviar Berlin, one of the world’s most respected caviar producers; CieL Dining, the fastest restaurant in Vietnam to receive a Michelin star; and Classic Fine Foods Vietnam, a trusted partner in luxury food sourcing. Together, the three brands crafted a culinary experience that was both elevated and deeply personal — designed for guests who appreciate true flavor and meticulous detail.
The evening’s 8-course tasting menu, complemented by a lemon sorbet palate cleanser, offered a harmonious progression of dishes — each thoughtfully constructed to highlight a different variety of Imperial Caviar Berlin, including Baerii, Ossetra, and Beluga.
Guests began with an elegant amuse-bouche, followed by Amaebi tartare paired with Beluga caviar, and flower crab with tomato consommé. The menu unfolded with unexpected layers — uni custard in Joselito broth served with Ossetra, and Rubia Gallega beef gently accented with ginseng and shiitake mushrooms. One of the evening’s signatures was the lobster pasta, indulgent yet balanced, leading into a playful, surprising finale: two dessert courses — coconut and macaron, each laced with caviar in a nod to the ingredient’s incredible versatility.
Caviar Soirée was not simply a dinner, but a multisensory experience — one that paid tribute to precision, provenance, and the pleasure of discovery. In the intimate, chef-led setting of CieL, the evening stood as a reflection of the evolving fine dining culture in Vietnam and the increasing demand for meaningful, ingredient-driven gastronomy.
