Chloé, Hélio and Nathan — the founding family of Cabanon Palace, Da Nang

Notre Histoire

Our Story


From a Marseille fishing family to a Da Nang rooftop — the heritage behind Chef Hélio's table.

A Family Maison

Cabanon Palace is the work of one family — Chloé Lemelle, Hélio Guenoun-Tassara and Nathan Guenoun-Tassara. With more than a decade of life in Vietnam and a shared love of hospitality, they set out to bring the spirit of the French Riviera, touched by the charm of Indochina, to the rooftop of Da Nang.

Hélio, raised in a fishing family from the Vallon des Auffes in Marseille, leads the kitchen — generous Southern-French cooking, the flavours of Provence and Corsica carried down through his grandmothers' recipes. Since 2013 the three have run Cabanon Palace as a family table, on the 21st floor of the Cordial Grand Hotel, where guests are welcomed as their own and every meal is served à la française, carved and shared.

More than a dinner, we want our guests to remember their Cabanon Palace experience years later — creating memories and flavours within our warm, festive atmosphere.— The founding family
