Top 9 Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City for Fine Dining Dining

✨ HighlightWhat an experience strong into this wonderful antique establishment. Immediately felt warm, cozy and comfortable in an antique, historical setting with interesting, old-time antiques that are priceless with so many stories to see and learn from every piece of decor in here. I ordered the lasagna and had one of their signature TWG tea which summed up a great and memorable lunch. Special mention on their garden sale which included surprising slices of yummy, sweet mangoes in it. Highly recommended and you better catch your last antique experience here fast as I heard they are sadly weeks away from permanently closing.→

✨ HighlightGreat flavours in a bustling, air-conditioned environment. Had the roast chicken with broken rice alongside fried fishcake, and both were great. Reasonable prices and excellent service too. This is the place to go after wandering about the city centre. The absence of hordes of bus-ferried tour groups here is an amazing plus too. Come here before that changes.→

✨ HighlightThis is absolutely a delight and it made my day by their very well trained and well mannered staff. We ordered quite a few contemporary Vietnam dishes with non traditional but authentic flavors. I like the soft-shell crab and the taco like appetizer. The pork neck meat and the lemon grass chicken are really special. Price is also very reasonable with a Michelin label. I certainly will bring my wife back here next time in town. P.S. a meal won’t be complete without a good dessert and coffee. For that, egg coffee is a must!→

✨ HighlightI had intended to try the Kung Fu Wok upstairs, but was told to go to first floor. I ordered and ate Chinese food, but as I was waiting for the food, I saw the display menu on the table and felt I needed to try it. There were no prices, so I was a little thrown off by the bill. I know, in general, Mexican food is more expensive in Vietnam than a lot of other food, but each item was more than the Chinese food. On the bill, it said "steak taco," so I was a little worried and asked the waitress, but she said it's the burrito. I couldn't look at it until I got back home. This was a very pleasant surprise~ I will say, the take-out packaging is outstanding! The portions looked much bigger than the Chinese food I had. For the mac and cheese - it definitely was. *I had both items over the next two days, so I did not have them fresh. However, both tasted good. The Spicy BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Mac (199K$7.85) was much larger than I expected. It might be hard to tell from my photos, but it was in a sizable container, and it had some weight to it. It could be just my personal taste. I thought it was great. Something I'd find at a nice diner in the US. The Mojo Steak & Eggs Burritos (239K/$9.40) ended up looking exactly like the menu photo, except only one hashbrown. Looking at the actual menu, it says I was supposed to get two, but they did give me some chips - if that's supposed to come with it or not. I thought they gave me some guacamole, but it was lime chili sauce... which is probably my favorite Vietnamese sauce. You do get two burritos, but if they were a smidgen bigger, that would have been great. The steak and eggs were good. The refried beans were something to be desired... It was just bean paste... and not great. I did get a little stomachache after eating half of one burrito, but it went away. I had the other half and the same thing. I did have to use the bathroom after the second one. However, it might have more to do with me eating it as the first thing in the morning. I ate the other burrito that night and had no stomachache. No service fee or VAT (I still spent quite a bit).→

✨ HighlightI just had the chance to visit the best authentic French restaurant in Vietnam for the second time, and I have to say - it's truly something special. The first time I dined here for dinner, I was blown away by the incredible flavors and attention to detail. This time, I decided to stop in for lunch, and the experience was just as remarkable. The food is so incredibly tasty and really captures the essence of classic French cuisine. As a tourist, I consider it excellent value for money - the quality is top-notch, and the prices are very reasonable. I'll definitely be returning again❤❤❤→

✨ HighlightWe ordered raw shrimp and spring rolls. The raw shrimp is served with vermicelli, herbs, and spices, which turned out to be a delightful surprise. I usually don’t enjoy raw shrimp, but the combination of spiciness and sourness made it the perfect starter for our meal. The spring rolls were also unique compared to the typical ones, with a higher proportion of meat to herbs, giving them a heartier flavor. For our main course, we had the oyster hotpot, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the herbs paired perfectly with the oysters, enhancing the overall experience. The service was excellent as well. The staff were attentive and seemed to anticipate our needs before we even asked, making the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Ho Chi Minh City!→

✨ HighlightI had the pleasure of dining at Anan Saigon, and it truly lived up to its Michelin-star reputation. From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance was modern yet warm, with a vibrant energy that added to the experience. The food was simply exceptional. Each dish was a delightful combination of traditional Vietnamese flavors and contemporary culinary techniques. The signature dishes were standouts—perfectly executed, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavors that were both familiar and innovative. The service was impeccable. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and made excellent recommendations, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was seamless.→

✨ HighlightFrom the excellent service staff to the immaculately plated food, it was an experience for the senses. Taste wise, there were more hits than misses, but generally they are above average. It is also commendable that locally sourced ingredients were incorporated into the dishes. Akuna may be priced higher than many restaurants but it was worth every dollar. Given the number of courses served for dinner, it was actually a fair price! They even gave us a box of delicious marshmallows for supper. If you need a meal for special occasions, I highly recommend this.→
