The team behind Mount Pleasant’s award-winning Anh and Chi has announced a new venture that’s promising a daring new spin on Vietnamese food and culture. 

Siblings Vincent and Amélie Nguyễn will open Good Thief in the space next door to Anh and Chi, the landmark restaurant where accolades include a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand pick (and our very own Golden Plates awards).

In a release, the brother-and-sister duo state they are on a mission to spotlight the best of Vietnamese cuisine, culture, and design with the Good Thief, which will focus on “unexplored territories” in design and taste.

“This project is a culmination of our lifelong passion and a bold complement to Anh and Chi,” Vincent Nguyễn says. “We believe it celebrates our heritage in a way that’s never been seen before.”

Amélie Nguyễn adds: “We’re excited to build on what we’ve done at Anh and Chi. With Good Thief, we’re inviting our community to explore the depth of Vietnamese culture through adventurous and unexpected culinary journeys. Our new venture will offer unique flavours and experiences that foster connections and create lasting memories.”

The Good Thief will be located at 3336 Main Street and is slated to open later this year.
