    La Table de Saigon, an excellent restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City



    Today I want to recommend one of my favorite restaurants here in Ho Chi Minh City: La Table de Saigon. The name might suggest a restaurant specializing in French cuisine, and instead it is a real Vietnamese restaurant. Simple but very characteristic, offers a menu super stocked, even with European specialties, and a great one value for money. It is located in the city center, in District 1, in an alley full of restaurants.

    The most striking thing about the Table is its open kitchen, indeed, outdoors. It is located right in front of the restaurant, overlooking the alley, and sometimes you almost have the impression of being at a friend's house, with an aunt who is very busy cooking for everyone!

    I scents they are those of classic Vietnamese cuisine: delicate sweet and sour soups, Pho e rice in all its forms. My favorite is without a doubt the mushroom and vegetable rice served in fresh pineapple (see photo!) a real treat. Also excellent fish hot pot and the specialties cooked in typical hanoi style. To accompany dinner I recommend ordering beer Tiger, tastier than classic beer Saigon.



    The restaurant it is always very full, especially at dinner time, slow service and definitely family-run: not suitable for those in a hurry, therefore. Order your plate and have faith, it will arrive. And if it does not arrive, point it out without any problem to the waiters, who do not get along very well with English, but will remedy immediately.



    The food is great, the nice environment, the price is super: for a dinner consisting of pineapple rice, tofu and sweeter grilled mushrooms and beer you will spend about 140000 VND (no more than 5 euros) each. Highly recommended. Ah, just in case, La Table de Saigon is also a hotels: Hotel Bi Saigon, with rooms from ten euros upwards, right above the restaurant.
