Description:
- Rattan chairs, high ceilings with slow moving fans and potted palms all lend an air of mystique to this French-Vietnamese dining spot. Expansive and elegant, it also features an attractive upstairs lounge. The food is spicy, pungent and well prepared. Try the Tamarind Soup to start, then move onto the house special Ca Chien Saigon-whole red snapper with a spicy sauce. A good wine list is featured and strong Vietnamese coffee will complete your meal. The service is mostly efficient, although at peak times it can be a little slow.
