Opened in 2004, Trois Gourmands is considered one of the finest French restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. Originally named Le Toit Gourmand, the restaurant was founded by Gils, a native of southeastern France, who dedicated himself to excellence in French culinary art. Gils's background as a sommelier and his genuine passion for French wine led him to import his own curated selection to create a unique and diverse wine cellar for Trois Gourmands.

Sakal maintains traditional cooking methods using basic ingredients and spices, but he adapts them to suit the local environment. While retaining the characteristic French flavors in his dishes, the chef uses local spices such as pennywort or purslane to garnish the food. This skillful and ingenious combination further enhances the flavors and increases the fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine.
