What to eat in HCMC?

Street eats can be found in almost every corner of this bustling city. To be inducted into Southern Vietnamese cuisine, opt for Lau (hotpot with cook your own ingredients served on the side), Com Nieu (broken rice served out of a claypot) and Banh Xeo (pancakes cooked over a flame). To enjoy the clatter of an authentic Vietnamese eatery, Com Nieu will surely leave an impression when the waiters fling claypots across the restaurant. Dong Pho is the best place to enjoy a meal of traditional Hue dishes in Ho Chi Minh City.

next door, Hoa Tuc serves a tantalizing selection of Vietnamese dishes in an elegant setting of green and purple hues. Xu is our favorite when it comes to fusion Vietnamese fare, a renowned restaurant cum bar tops with a chic and classy atmosphere. If you are in the mood for a lavish dinner, acclaimed French chef Didier Corlou’s On The Six Restaurant is the most chic establishment in the city’s trendiest street. For a different dining experience, join the Bonsai to enjoy a memorable dinner cruise amid the vibrant city lights while sailing along the Saigon River.
