Located in the heart of District 1, Tandoor is one of the best Indian restaurants in Saigon. Since 1997, it has been serving delicious recipes, including Punjabi specialties cooked in the tandoor (clay oven),curries, dosas (thin pancakes) from South India, vegetarian dishes and also halal meat... Without forgetting the famous naans to accompany your meal. The setting is sumptuous and the room spacious. Excellent service by a very welcoming staff. Recommended. A second establishment has recently opened in Le Thanh Tôn.

A large, popular open-air restaurant. It's not a place for intimate, romantic dining. It's crowded, which is a good sign of the quality of the establishment, but it's rather noisy and hectic, and that's part of the atmosphere... You choose your menu as if you were at the market, stopping in front of each stall where Vietnamese specialties are prepared, each more appetizing than the last. The choice is vast, you feel like you're in a museum, and you're sure to discover dishes you've never tasted before. A must in Hanoi..

At the end of a small alleyway lined with accommodation for tourists on a tight budget, this small family-run restaurant has been a big hit with Western travellers for the past fifteen years. The setting is pleasant and unpretentious. Vietnamese dishes prepared to order using fresh produce, with a fair amount of fried food, but also healthy dishes such as broths and cooked vegetables. Varied menus, breakfasts, snacks and desserts. Recommended for those who want to travel at low cost.

Cha Ca La Vong is a Vietnamese fish speciality created at the end of the ^19th century. Located in a gray villa, this is the original restaurant, not to be confused with the tourist trap of the same name at 14, Cha Ca, in the Old Quarter. In a simple but pleasant setting, you can enjoy this specialty of fried turmeric-marinated fish, served on a grill, with complementary noodles, salad and various condiments. It's a generous dish to share with family and friends. Give it a try.

In the rural setting of the village of Trà Que, a beautifully appointed restaurant in a traditional bamboo house. Excellent Vietnamese cuisine, full of flavors and aromas, with simplicity and refinement. In the heart of this superb kitchen garden, the vegetables are, of course, organic... Prices are very reasonable, and this family-run restaurant comes highly recommended. Three women, three generations behind the scenes, who also offer cooking classes that include shopping at the market and choosing herbs from the garden. A magical place.

Family-run restaurant opened in 2002 and has built up an excellent reputation over the years to become a classic, frequented by young Vietnamese as well as expatriates and tourists. Pleasant location on the shores of Lake Truc Bach. Upstairs, a more intimate room with low tables for those who don't mind sitting on the floor. Good North Indian cuisine: curries, samosas, nan... And yet, the owner is Vietnamese. Her little brother officiates in the kitchen. Reasonable prices and fresh beer.

Boui-boui renowned for its bun cha. Also try the nem hai san (seafood egg rolls). The establishment's reputation soared when, in May 2016, an American president, accompanied by famous traveler, journalist and chef Anthony Bourdain, came to sample the house specialty... Since Obama's visit, the establishment has never been empty, and at peak times it's not uncommon to have to wait for a table to become available. It's good, but the place has become a little too touristy...

In the bustling Hàng Bông street, this small restaurant, frequented by tourists, allows to discover the essentials of Vietnamese cuisine. On the menu, soups, spring rolls (fresh/fried), noodle dishes(pho/bun), beef, pork and chicken deliciously prepared with steamed rice. Vegetarians are also welcome. Sit at a table, sip a glass of tra da (iced tea) and enjoy the lively street scene! The many culinary tours that stop by have not been mistaken...

Excellent Vietnamese restaurant, popular with both locals and travelers. The grilled meats and fishes are particularly appreciated. They are accompanied by vegetables and marinades. For vegetarians, there is a special vegetable barbecue menu. Other dishes on the menu include egg rolls, garlic rice, salads, noodles, etc. The establishment is open daily for lunch and dinner (open late). A good value for money for an authentic and typical moment! Takeaway, terraces and seating.

Under the old hall of the beautiful covered market of Cân Tho, traditional Vietnamese cuisine and delta specialties such as shrimps cooked with mango. Also on the menu: French and Italian dishes, and for the more adventurous, frogs and snakes. Open all day long, to eat or simply have a coffee or an ice cream. An address also to get information about the region. Vegetarians and vegans welcome. Located on the Mekong River, the restaurant has a nice view on the river.

It's a chain of restaurants with locations in Saigon, Hanoi and as far afield as Cambodia. The setting is particularly pleasant: flowering trees at the entrance, bright red walls, high ceilings and large tables on the open terrace where you can sit down as soon as there's room. The menu is rich in Vietnamese specialities at low prices: nems, banh xeo, grilled meats, soups, grilled beef, sweet desserts... The waiters are very busy and very efficient. The place is very popular. A place we recommend for dinner.

One of our favorite canteens in Ho Chi Minh City! This simple little restaurant is a big hit with the locals. The reason? Authentic, traditional cuisine prepared with quality ingredients. On the menu: bowls of noodles and grilled meats. Excellent bun thap cam (various pieces of grilled pork, egg rolls and rice noodles) and bun thit nuong (rice vermicelli and grilled pork). The other house specialty is bo la lot(grilled beef wrapped in a leaf), a must-try. The place is very popular in the evenings.

Not far from the Opera House, an establishment that doesn't look like much, and yet is one of Hanoi's best pho. The gargote has been in operation since 1979, but the owners waited until 2020 to invest in a sign bearing the establishment's name. Previously, the only distinguishing feature was the huge steaming pot in front of what looks more like a cave than a restaurant. Authenticity guaranteed. A single dish, pho, whose broth is particularly rich here. You can add a poached egg and/or doughnuts...

This restaurant is located in an authentic restored French colonial house. Here, we meet Vietnamese and Western customers. The name of the restaurant sums up its identity: serving specialties from different regions of the country in a traditional way. Everyone will be able to taste vegetarian dishes and the "Hot Pot" cuisine. The restaurant recreates a unique atmosphere inherited from the last centuries. A family atmosphere prevails and private rooms are available on request. Home delivery and catering services are available.
