On this place have the food and beverage programme here is based upon the “art of healthy eating and drinking”. The menus will blend seamlessly with the concepts presented in the exhibitions on display. This is not your average gallery with a cafe attached. This is a full-on kitchen, Albeit a healthy, environmentally-conscious one. The menu will be vegetarian and vegan-friendly, but will still offer animal products.
At The Factory, this will consist of integration of the space with the menus of food, cocktails, and coffee. The concept is loosely based on the dynamic food scene in Melbourne, Australia, somewhere that Van Der Westhuizen feels has captured something unique about food service. This is also a major point. They have spent countless hours with the staff developing a service-minded establishment.
The founder of the art center, Ti-a Thuy Nguyen, who is a fashion designer, said she also offers private spaces in the 1,000-square meter center for team working and art creations. After the first art center operated in Ho Chi Minh City, a second center will be launched in Hanoi very soon, Nguyen added.
