Best Lunch

Okay here we go! After taking a stroll to the city's cathedral and post office, you can walk straight to Nha Hang Ngon (160 Pasteur Street) for lunch. Everyone who visits HCM city stops in this place. They offer the best Vietnamese Noodles and Vermicelli soups!

MUST TRY: Bun Thit Nuong ( Vermicelli and Grilled Pork served with Fresh Herbs)

-- 45,000 VND

Bun Thang (Vermicelli in Soup with Pork and Pork Sausage)

-- 38,000 VND

Drinks are priced at around 25,000 - 35,000 VND.

Best Dinner

I've been hearing a lot about this French colonial house turned restaurant even before I went to HCM City. Cuc Gach Quan is the best place for a cosy dinner! From the city center, you can take a cab to 10 Dang Tat Street. Cab fare is about 55,000 VND. The place is quite far but surely worth the effort! Very peaceful & quiet atmosphere plus the cooking is remarkable!

Vietnamese Chicken in Salad -- 80,000 VND

Beef Stewed with Lemongrass and Chili -- 80,000 VND

Best Dessert

If you're an ice cream fan, you really have to visit Fanny Ice Cream. Best place to go after dinner. Ice cream is served in a creative and appealing way! It is worth its price! No artificial ingredients, 100% natural ice cream. They already have 4 stores in HCM City but we visited the newest small-nice-cosy branch (22 Pham Hong Thai Street) near Ben Thanh Market.

Strawberry, Chocolate and Macadamia Vanilla Ice cream -- ~80,000 VND

Best Coffee

Ca phe sua da (Iced coffee with condensed milk) is a must try! This is the most popular drink not only for foreigners but for locals as well. To buy this drink, you can either visit the coffee shops or just go by the streets! It is everywhere in the city.
