NOTRE-DAME CATHEDRAL BASILICA OF SAIGON

TRAN KHAC CHAN STREET IN DISTRICT
One of the best areas to grab a cheap, cheerful and delicious meal. The street is like an open market, with each little stall doing only one or two dishes. Wander along and let your nose (and stomach) guide you.
VIETNAM HOUSE
For finer fare, book a table at Vietnam House, by acclaimed chef Luke Nguyen. Nguyen's contemporary takes on classic Vietnamese dishes elevate some of the country's most loved dishes to new heights. The Indochine-inspired interiors complete what is a thoroughly enjoyable meal.
