CHEF TIM

Chef Tim’s Personal Journey

Chef Tim

A warm welcome to my restaurant!

I am Tim, a passionate chef and, along with my wife Sen, proud owner of Tim’s Sa Pa Kitchen.

I come from Yen Bai province, along the road back to Hanoi.

My feeling for cooking developed after leaving college, and I worked in several excellent restaurants in Saigon to learn my trade from top chefs. When I first came to Sapa, I opened my own homestay and worked as a tour guide. Then in 2023, I had the opportunity to open my first restaurant here in Sapa town, Tim’s Sa Pa Kitchen.

We offer high-quality Vietnamese-Western fusion, often based on traditional recipes and always using the freshest seasonal ingredients. As much as we can, we like to source from local people and produce such as pumpkin, mushrooms, chestnut and salmon. In this way, we help support our local ethnic communities and offer you healthy, tasty dishes.

We serve both traditional cuisine as well as veggie and vegan dishes, especially as vegetables, salad and herbs form a large part of the local diet and throughout Vietnam.

If you have any questions or would like to know more about Vietnamese food, we are always happy to talk with you!

Enjoy your meal and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Tim, Sen and the team
