Amidst one of the oldest fisherman families in Marseille, the cherished recipes of Hélio’s family permeated his being, and stirred a deep passion for the culinary arts within him. Hélio, together with his wife Chloe and his brother Nathan, were united by their shared vision for the French culinary journey stemming from their deep-rooted passion and strong commitment to capture the souls of Provence within every dish. With such a deep appreciation, the trio harbored a dream of creating a culinary destination that would transport guests to bustling markets in France.

In 2013, Cabanon Palace started a family business in Da Nang; a city filled with high-quality ingredients, particularly fresh seafood. Hence, we are able to maintain the integrity of classic tastes with a blend of regional ingredients. From the passion for cooking with grandma’s recipes, the traditional flavors of Provence and Corsica food, to the space and service that reflects the warmth of a snug family. With the best elements from the quintessence of the French Riviera, Cabanon Palace brings the best possible culinary experience to you.

There’s also a reason why Chef Hélio and his family chose the Rooftop as the location for Cabanon Palace. The Hélio family strongly believes in creating and running a restaurant that focuses on the full package in which they provide not just good food, but also outstanding service and a beautiful atmosphere. The view that surrounds the restaurant at the Cordial Grand Hotel is just perfect to accompany you in your time feasting on Southern French delights. It’s a view that contains mountain landscapes, a city skyline, and a panoramic sea. A view that is non-existent in any other French restaurants in Danang. This is why the Hélio Family chose the Rooftop restaurant and bar as the perfect “palace” for their restaurant as they want to create unforgettable memories through not only good food and service but also sensational views.

Delectable Delights of Cabanon Palace

The dishes here at Cabanon Palace are a harmony of different ingredients, some from the local markets of Danang, and some from the local markets in Marseille. Every dish has its own unique story but all of them bring the same levels of satisfaction. Here are some of the best recommendations provided by Chef Helio.

The Spiny Lobster and squid ink pasta is one of Chef Helio’s signature dishes which was, believe it or not, not even supposed to be on the menu. However, its wonderful combination of flavors transports you to a new level of culinary satisfaction.

The French Oysters provide diners with a burst of fresh flavors, along with zesty notes of lemons. The perfect dish to tease your appetite, leaving you craving for more dishes that lie ahead at your time in Cabanon Palace. The oysters are specially imported from France which is why the oysters are sweeter than the local oysters of Danang.

After feasting on an array of savory dishes, it’s time to escape to the sweetness and bitterness of Chocolate cakes. The recipe for Chocolate cake was handed down from Chef Helio’s mother. A cake that was enjoyed by Chef Helio’s family in moments of celebrations and success. Experience the sweet taste of celebration and success through this cake, combined with the perfect harmony of sweet and bitter notes from the chocolate.
