    25 June 2026

    Led by Hong Kong chef Victor Ho, Seta marks Phu Quoc’s
    first Chinese‑Cantonese kitchen helmed by a Michelin‑experienced master with over 30 years of culinary expertise. Elevating the island’s dining scene, it anchors La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton,
    as the vibrant social heart of gastronomy in Sunset Town.

    Literally meaning “silk,” Seta seamlessly weaves contemporary elegance with
    the timeless traditions of Chinese-Cantonese cuisine

    (24 June 2026, Hong Kong) La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton, is an inspiring place to stay and explore the wonders of Vietnam’s “Pearl Island.” Following the recent debut of its new wing and three signature dining destinations – including Seta, Phu Quoc’s finest Chinese‑Cantonese restaurant – this flagship hotel has emerged as a culinary landmark in its own right, where guests and visiting diners come together to experience world‑class gastronomy infused with the vibrant spirit of La Dolce Vita.
    With show kitchens, curated tables and private areas for life’s most special occasions – including front-row seats to the spectacular fireworks that light up the skies above Sunset Town every evening – Seta will inspire every guest with a sense of occasion.

    Authentic Chinese-Cantonese Cuisine with Three Decades of Michelin Mastery


    Situated in the hotel’s new art‑inspired wing, Seta is an artistic studio where a native Chinese‑Cantonese team, guided by Hong Kong‑native Chef Victor Ho, crafts refined culinary expressions from local and seasonal ingredients. With Michelin‑honed expertise, he elevates premium seafood and prime barbecued meats into timeless Cantonese masterpieces that balance precision, passion, and artistry.

    With more than three decades of expertise in some of the region’s most prestigious Michelin-starred kitchens, Chef Ho brings the heart and soul of authentic Chinese-Cantonese cuisine to diners in Sunset Town. Every ingredient is sourced with care, treated with respect and crafted with finesse to highlight the true essence of Phu Quoc’s fresh, natural produce, while also telling timeless tales of Chinese-Cantonese heritage.

    With over three decades of experience,
    Chef Victor Ho infuses every creation at Seta with culinary heritage
    A Sublime Harmony of Culinary Tradition and Contemporary Flair

    Literally meaning “Silk,” Seta promises seamless experiences that feel effortlessly smooth yet stand the test of time. Rooted in Hong Kong’s proud Cantonese tradition, the restaurant celebrates the artistry of dim sum – Phu Quoc’s finest Steamed Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gao) and Chili Oil Dumplings are prepared with the meticulous 13‑pleat ritual, a hallmark of Cantonese craftsmanship. Chef Victor, hailing from Hong Kong, brings fire and passion to every plate: the dramatic theatre of Wok‑fried Typhoon Shelter‑Style Tiger Prawns pays homage to the city’s storied fishing culture, while the patience and precision of Roasted Pork Belly echo the timeless mastery of Hong Kong’s beloved siu mei roast meat shops. At Seta, Cantonese heritage meets island spirit, offering a dining experience that feels both authentically Hong Kong and refreshingly contemporary.

    The grace of Chinese-Cantonese cuisine is enhanced with a selection of beverages, carefully curated to enliven the palate. From the timeless elegance of a Chinese tea ceremony to the creativity of modern mixology, with cocktails such as Senado Silk and Lan Kwai Fong Breeze – all infused with local fruits and herbs – Seta promises an epicurean experience that lingers on the taste buds.

    A Traditional Tea Ceremony Infused with Meaning
    Every experience at Seta can be enhanced with the timeless ritual of a Chinese tea ceremony

    To conclude the meal, a cup of handpicked tea serves as a bridge back to tranquillity, cleansing the palate and enriching the culinary journey. These premium infusions are brewed to perfection. More than a refined taste, they foster intimate, lingering moments that bind guests together.

    In Chinese philosophy, a tea ceremony embodies the principles of harmony, balance, and respect, and evokes a sense of completion and contemplation. The ritual of yum cha has been woven into the social fabric of human connection for centuries, through gatherings, conversations and relationships, creating a ceremonial bridge between past and present.

    With a collection of exceptional restaurants and bars under one roof, La Festa Phu Quoc rises on a hillside opposite the Campanile clocktower, overlooking the island’s sunset coast, the iconic Kiss Bridge, and nightly fireworks. It has become a social hub for every occasion, from casual lunches and daytime bites to romantic meals and celebratory dinners.

    Within this constellation, Seta shines as the newest culinary summit – bringing refined Chinese‑Cantonese artistry to the island and enriching the hotel’s vibrant dining scene. Guests can also savour the Mediterranean elegance of Mare, convivial Spanish plates at Finca, fireworks glamour at Cielo, soulful jazz at Luna Folk, abundant buffets at The Merchant, refined cocktails and afternoon tea at Il Salone, and rooftop romance at Francesca – together forming a diverse culinary landscape at the heart of Sunset Town.
