On September 30th, Détour restaurant officially opened after more than a month of trial operation. Infused with the flavors of Southern France's cuisine and the vibrant summer atmosphere, Détour offers diners a rich culinary experience with a carefully selected menu and a wide selection of exquisite cocktails, all within a uniquely stylish setting.
Inspired by "a trip to the sun-drenched South of France" with its bright summer colors and gentle sunshine, Détour promises to help diners escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
The space exudes a Southern French style, with a warm, comfortable, and enchanting atmosphere.
“The dishes at the restaurant don’t strictly adhere to French cuisine, but they still incorporate French ingredients and variations. By prioritizing local ingredients, diners can find similarities between the dishes here and Vietnamese cuisine. We hope that in the future, this will become a truly authentic French restaurant in Saigon,” said Alex Halbers, one of the two founders of the restaurant.
Sake and bread with bone marrow are among the restaurant's signature dishes.

This place serves late breakfasts (brunch), suitable for diners with flexible schedules. The dishes also harmoniously combine French and Vietnamese culinary styles, making them appealing to a wide range of tastes.
Besides serving meals, this place also transforms into a cocktail bar in the evenings, offering unique and delicious drinks specially designed for the restaurant's menu.
Chef Brian Chu showcases his culinary skills in the kitchen.
Prominently featured at the bar are the "very Vietnamese" cocktails. Iced Milk Coffee Martini and Not A Banh Mi are two of the signature drinks that customers can enjoy at any time of day. In addition, a selection of wines from Southern France is also available.

Beyond positioning itself as a fine dining restaurant, the establishment aims to bring the unique Vietnamese culture of sharing to the dining table. "Détour is a place where diners can release all their emotions," Alex shared.
