Flavors Awards was first introduced as the “Restaurant and Bar Awards” (or more popularly known as the “Banh Mi Awards”) in 2018. The awards ceremony has gone through 4 seasons, but all share the same goal: to honor outstanding businesses and services in the Vietnamese food and beverage (F&B) industry.

As part of the annual Flavors Vietnam event series, the award ceremony is constantly developing and expanding its scale each year to provide a prestigious playground for the Vietnamese F&B industry. This is where the brightest names and those who have contributed to the F&B industry are named, while also providing an open space for participants to interact and build quality relationships.

Not only awarding the 50 winners of 5 "Flavors Collection" categories voted by the community, the award also has the "Editor's Pick" category voted by Vietcetera editors to introduce new, unique and worth-exploring experiences and dining and resort locations in Ho Chi Minh City.
