Ho Chi Minh City Restaurants
By Margaret Weeks
Lemon Grass
4 Nguyen Thiep St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 8220496, 8232036
Very nice Vietnamese food.
Nam An
57-69 Dong Khoi St. 22-36 Nguyen Hue St. Dist. 1, HCMC TEL: 8220246
Vietnamese food in a lovely setting. You wouldn't think it to see the mall
it is located in, but worth the trip. After dinner, visit the bakery next
door, it is an experience!
Vietnam House
93-95 Dong Khoi St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 8291623
We had one of our best Vietnamese dinners here, excellent food.
Amigo Char-Grill
55-57 Nguyen Hue St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 8241248, 8290437
This establishment is run by an Australian. A couple in our group discovered
it one day when they went looking for "food from home. Great beef and potatoes,
really good desserts. Save this for when you get homesick for a home-like
meal.
Paloma Cafe
26 Dong Khoi St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 295813
A nice restaurant, but not one of the best.
Miss Saigon
I am fairly sure it is located on the corner of Le Thanh Ton
St, and Dong Khoi St.
Good Vietnamese food, nice atmosphere
Givral
169 Dong Khoi St. Dist. 1 HCMC (across street from Continental Hotel) TEL:
242750
We ate lunch here only (never anyone in here at dinner time), good place to
get a ham and cheese sandwich. There is a good news stand outside that sells
the Herald Tribune, and a lovely street vendor who is 9 years old, and the
sweetest, brightest girl you can imagine. Her father is a cyclo driver and
she and her 3 year old brother stay on the street all day selling postcards.
She stole our hearts, it is a travesty that she isn't able to attend school,
as she is extremely bright
Norfolk Hotel
117 Le Thanh Ton St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL:295368
Only ate brunch here, great deal.
Majestic Rooftop
1 Dong Khoi St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 295515
Listening to the Vietnamese maraichi band was priceless, and a lovely setting.
Paris Deli
31 Dong Khoi St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 8297533
65 Le Loi Blvd. Saigon Centre Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 8216127
Great sandwiches, and desserts, two locations.
The Rex Rooftop
141 Nuyen Hue Blvd.(corner of Le Loi Blvd.) Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 292185
Only had drinks here our last night, but a great place to say goodbye to HCMC.
Ancient Town (also named Quan Pho Xua)
Sorry, don't know the address, but it is well worth looking up any way
you can!
This was probably my favorite restaurant in HCMC. We went on a Sunday night,
and it was packed, but we had excellent service, and the food is out of this
world. A must do in HCMC.
W ( I'm not sure this is the correct name, but it is all the card
says.)
164 Pasteur St. Dist. 1 HCMC TEL: 8296210
They serve Vietnamese, Western and Chinese food, and it is a great place to
eat.
