GOURMET VIETNAM - Issue 10 - VIETNAM'S TOP 100 RESTAURANT

この号では

Vietnam’s restaurant service standards may still be a long way from truly international class. Things that are seen as essential at five-star eateries around the world, complete with weekly changing exclusive menus, and waiters who remember your name and your wine preferences, continue to be rare. On the positive side though, there is a fast growing number of new restaurants opening up every week, offering a wide range of experiences for both gourmet and adventure diners alike. Even a few years ago, who in Vietnam would have imagined that? Take for example La Mint by Danh, a hidden gem in Saigon’s Ngo Van Nam Street. The restaurant is known for fresh local ingredients, fused into well-executed international dishes. Try their pan seared duck confit with mushroom risotto, or their chilled chocolate fondant with coconut ice cream. On the same street, you can experience the modern take on Vietnamese cuisine at Si, while dining surrounded by art and sculptures. Steak lovers head for the elegant New York Steakhouse, or the more rustic El Gaucho, recently joined by the new Canada Steakhouse in Saigon. Whether you are a tourist or a local resident – Gourmet Vietnam offers you the complete experience of Vietnam’s dining scene. We hope you will enjoy this, our tenth edition of Gourmet Vietnam, and with its help select the right restaurant for your first date, an important business meeting, or simply a romantic dinner with your love ones. Bon Appetit!
