If you want to enjoy "standard" French cuisine in Saigon, let Travellive take you through these 3 restaurants.

Located on a quiet street in Thao Dien, La Villa preserves the tradition of traditional French cuisine in a spacious, pleasant space.

Chef Thierry Mounon always dreamed of creating a special place where he could freely explore the wonders of French cuisine. In 2010, Thierry came to Ho Chi Minh City, embarking on a remarkable culinary business with his wife, Tina Trang Pham. Together, they opened La Villa, which, after more than 10 years of operation, officially won the Michelin-starred restaurant title in 2023.

Each dish is carefully prepared by chef Thierry Mounon, using only the finest ingredients to give everyone the opportunity to taste classic French dishes right in the heart of Saigon.

Trois Gourmands opened in 2004 and is considered one of the best French restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. Originally named Le Toit Gourmand, the restaurant was founded by Gils, a native of South East France, who has dedicated himself to excellence in French cuisine. Gils’s Sommelier background and genuine passion for French wines has led him to import his own selection of wines to create a unique and diverse wine cellar for Trois Gourmands.
