Derived from the Italian word for “silk”, Seta unfolds an elegant and emotive journey inspired by the legendary Silk Road — the historic bridge connecting China, Western Asia, and the Mediterranean. Here, that spirit of connection extends beyond symbolism, coming to life through an immersive setting rich in artistic curation, where every dish is presented like an exquisitely embroidered masterpiece.

Seta Restaurant is located on the second floor of Terza 3, the newest enclave within La Festa Phu Quoc, Curio Collection by Hilton

Stepping into Seta, guests are transported into the private manor of an aristocrat with a sensibility for East Asian aesthetics. Avoiding overt opulence, the restaurant charms connoisseurs through carefully curated details: time-honoured glazed ceramics, gracefully stylised lotus paintings, and intricate trúc chỉ (bamboo paper) woven partitions. Against this timeless backdrop, bold indigo accents and regal gold hues intertwine, evoking a uniquely contemporary Cantonese spirit.

Seta’s interiors evoke the refined home of a nobleman devoted to Asian art and culture

The true enchantment lies in the emotional contrast framed by the windows: while the interior offers a meditative, aesthetic calm, the world outside reveals the vibrant, technicolour realm of Sunset Town. This contrast does not clash; instead, it resonates in perfect harmony, creating a quiet Oriental touch in the heart of a spirited Mediterranean setting.

If the ambience initiates a visual odyssey, Seta’s menu is a masterful sequel written in the language of taste. Under the stewardship of Chef Victor Ho — a veteran with over 30 years of experience in prestigious Michelin-starred establishments — every dish is a tribute to the philosophy of honouring the true essence of ingredients.

Seta’s culinary signature is defined by flawless technique. To preserve the natural sweetness of the produce, Chef Victor Ho exercises surgical precision over heat and timing. The artistry of wok hei (the breath of the wok) is deftly employed to impart a delicate smokiness, adding profound depth while ensuring each bite remains crisp, vibrant, and succulent.

This precision is beautifully showcased in the restaurant’s dim sum selection, headlined by the renowned “13-fold ritual”. From har gow (shrimp dumplings) to BBQ pork buns, the delicate silken skins encase succulent fillings, creating a sublime harmony between traditional heritage and contemporary interpretation. Equally unforgettable is the crispy roasted pork; its skin is a radiant, crackling gold, while the meat remains tender and rich — a masterpiece born of the chef’s virtuosic command of fire.

To conclude the meal, a cup of hand-picked tea serves as a bridge back to tranquillity, cleansing the palate and allowing guests to fully appreciate the depth of the culinary journey. These premium infusions, brewed to perfection, do more than offer refined taste — they foster intimate, lingering conversations that bring guests together.

As night falls, the dining experience ascends to the extraordinary, as the Phu Quoc sky ignites with spectacular fireworks from the Symphony of the Sea and Kiss of the Sea shows. In this moment, the “silk” philosophy truly resonates — an elegant, fluid culinary journey that feels as exclusive and immersive as wandering through a private art exhibition.

The final chapter of the Seta experience is one of tranquillity, where rare teas inspire conversation and meaningful connection

Amid the Mediterranean spirit of Sunset Town, Seta’s contemporary Cantonese cuisine serves as a silken thread weaving together diverse cultural influences into a truly multi-sensory experience. At Seta, every dinner becomes a new expression of la dolce vita — where devotion to even the smallest detail sets a new benchmark for fine dining on Pearl Island.
