Chàm: meaning 'indigo' in Vietnamese, redefines Vietnamese café dining by blending tradition with Melbourne’s culinary creativity through refined dishes and drinks.
CHÀM is a modern Vietnamese café located in West Melbourne, opposite Queen Victoria Market. Inspired by Vietnamese heritage and shaped by Melbourne’s café culture, CHÀM offers a thoughtful take on familiar dishes through refined technique and seasonal ingredients.
Our menu reinterprets classics like bánh mì chảo and phở alongside specialty Vietnamese coffee, with a focus on balance, clarity of flavour, and attention to detail.
The space itself is an extension of this philosophy. Designed with intention, CHÀM brings together materials, furniture and objects sourced from Vietnam, creating a calm and considered environment that reflects ideas of slow living and craftsmanship.
At its core, CHÀM is about more than food. It is a place for connection, where culture, design and community come together over a shared table.
