QUAN NUONG 3T
|
|
|
|
|
Address: 29-31 Ton That Thiep Street, Level 3, District 1
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Tel : 84 8 821 1633
Information:
Just three stories up with a rooftop view of the surrounding busy commercial area of Saigon, 3T is a great place for a group barbecue dinner. Menu items include local fanfare such as shrimp, beef with cheese and hot pot, to name some. All the food is reasonably priced and fresh, and you can barbecue right at the table. With crowds often packing in around 7p, this place gets really lively; the service is somewhat hectic, so it's recommended to reserve a table in advance and try to order as soon as you get a waiter.

COM NIEU SAI GON
|
|
|
|
|
Address: 6C Tu Xuong Street, District 1
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Tel : 84 8 932 6388
Information:
The walls are blank and only a few plants hang, so the most notable parts of the decor of this restaurant are the broken clay pots that pile up on the floor as the night goes on. Order the Com Dap, "smashed rice," for the entertaining bowl-breaking, rice-throwing spectacle. Other highlights of the long, southern Vietnamese menu include thit kho nuoc dun (long simmering pork with coconut milk) and ca keo kho to (fish cooked in a clay pot) at around USD1.50 each. A decent list of beers, juices and liquors is also available. If you want to know more, this restaurant was featured in Anthony Bourdain's book, "A Cook's Tour."

Tel : 84 8 824 1248 / +84 8 829 0437
Information:
If you are hankering for a steak, this restaurant is located conveniently in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City. The big bar is the first thing you see and it sets the tone for the rest of the rustic decor—plenty of brick and wood everywhere. Tables are a decent size, which makes a nice change from others you will find in Vietnam. Lighting is discreet. Imported beef ensures that your steak will be first class, and it can be cooked any style, including with Vietnamese flavors.

UNDERGROUND

|
|
|
|
Address: 69 Dong Khoi Street, District 1
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Tel : 84 8 829 9079
Information:
As the name implies, the decor is dark and confined. Couches arranged around low tables offer intimate seating, while social-minded diners may choose to sit at the tall tables and chairs located in the center of the room. On the menu are entrees such as chicken burritos, pasta, Mediterranean salads and fish and chips. Also good are the huge pizzas. The Underground's happy hour specials and extensive menu have contributed to its status as one of Saigon's most popular nightspots.
