Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills - Dinner in the clouds - Outdoor dining experience on Ba Na Hills

An evening on Ba Na Hills feels different when it unfolds under the open sky. At Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills, Dinner in the Clouds turns a private dinner, corporate gathering or special celebration into an atmospheric outdoor dining experience in the heart of the French Village.

Set on the terrace of L’Étable restaurant, the experience brings together mountain air, French-inspired architecture, curated menus and refined event service. As the day softens into evening, guests can gather for welcome drinks, enjoy a tailored dinner and celebrate against the romantic backdrop of Ba Na Hills.

Designed for groups of 40 guests, Dinner in the Clouds is ideal for companies, families, incentive groups and private hosts looking for a memorable dining experience above Da Nang.

What Is Dinner in the Clouds?

Dinner in the Clouds is an outdoor dining and event experience hosted at Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills. It is designed for private groups who want more than a standard restaurant meal, combining a scenic outdoor venue, curated catering, table décor, event setup and professional support from the hotel team.

The experience takes place at L’Étable restaurant’s terrace, an open-air venue in the French Village. With mountain views, European-inspired surroundings and evening ambience, the terrace creates a distinctive setting for group dinners, corporate events, private celebrations and intimate gatherings.

Unlike a typical dinner in the city, Dinner in the Clouds allows guests to dine in the cooler atmosphere of Ba Na Hills, surrounded by stone façades, soft lighting and the quiet charm of the French Village after sunset.

Why Choose Ba Na Hills for an Outdoor Dining Experience?

Da Nang has many beachfront restaurants, rooftop bars and private dining venues. Ba Na Hills offers something different: an elevated mountain setting where the evening feels cooler, quieter and more atmospheric.

For guests who have already experienced Da Nang’s beaches or riverside restaurants, a dinner on Ba Na Hills adds a new layer to the journey. The location feels removed from the pace of the city, making it especially suitable for occasions that call for a sense of arrival and exclusivity.

The French Village also gives the event a strong visual identity. Stone buildings, castle-like rooftops, terrace lighting and mountain air help create a setting that feels more immersive than a conventional banquet room. For corporate groups, this can make a gala dinner or incentive event feel more memorable. For families and private groups, it brings a sense of occasion without feeling overly formal.

The Venue: L’Étable Restaurant’s Terrace

Dinner in the Clouds is hosted at L’Étable restaurant’s terrace, located inside Mercure Danang French Village Bana Hills.

The terrace offers an outdoor venue of approximately 285 sqm and can host up to 80 guests. The suggested event time is 18:30–21:30, making it ideal for welcome drinks, dinner, music and evening celebration.

At this time of day, Ba Na Hills begins to shift into a softer mood. The air becomes cooler, the French Village lights up, and the terrace becomes a graceful setting for dining under the sky.
