Monsieur Vuong

There is a restaurant in the Alte Schönhauser Straße 46 in Berlin-Mitte that became an international place of pilgrimage many years ago: Monsieur Vuong’s restaurant.

His image hangs on the brightly orange coloured wall and today his son Dat manages the establishment that sees long lines in front of it on a regular basis. Not to anyone’s surprise, as the food is delicious and of a comforting, unpretentious simplicity. The dishes are authentic, because Dat Vuong prepares them in his mother’s tradition and consistently returns to his Vietnamese roots. And it’s about time to celebrate Dat Vuong with his own cookbook.

If you’ve tried Monsieur Vuong’s once, you’re certain to return time and time again. And if you’ve met Dat Vuong even once, you’ll want to hear the story that has led to this success. And that’s where Monsieur Vuong - The Cookbook comes in with 40 easy to replicate recipes straight from the kitchen and a myriad of inspirational ideas on Vietnamese cuisine and culture.
