Saigon's finest restaurants and bars

Cafe Cardinal, one of Southeast Asia’s most distinctive all-day dining venues, delivers stunning views of Saigon from its airy, sixth floor perch, as well as a tempting take on the artful culinary work conducted in its show kitchen – segueing from a continental menu by day to distinctly French flavours by night.

At The Royal Pavilion, a team of Vietnam’s most skilled Hong Kongese chefs showcase sophisticated fare in a regal setting while at R&J, traditional Italian dishes marked by subtle detours into contemporary culinary trends are served up in a setting as passionate as its inspiration – Romeo & Juliet.
