Baba's Kitchen is Saigon's best-known Indian restaurant, a Bui Vien mainstay for North and South Indian curries, tandoor grills and thali plates.
OrderThe butter chicken with garlic naan, or a South Indian thali.
TipIt is on the backpacker strip; the thali is the value order and the kitchen does mild-to-fiery on request.
The Racha Room is a stylish Thai fusion restaurant and bar on Mac Thi Buoi, plating punchy modern Thai plates and cocktails in a dim, design-led District 1.
OrderThe massaman curry and a lemongrass cocktail.
TipIt turns into a lively bar later; book for dinner if you want a quieter table.
Nha Hang Ngon is a bustling institution in a colonial villa on Pasteur, gathering open stalls of regional Vietnamese street dishes under one roof.
OrderA spread of small dishes; the banh xeo and cha gio are reliable.
TipIt is touristy and busy but a painless one-stop sampler of dozens of Vietnamese dishes.
Sorae is a high-end Japanese restaurant and lounge in the AB Tower, serving sushi, sashimi and wagyu across a dramatic space with skyline views.
OrderThe omakase sushi selection or the wagyu.
TipIt sits at the base of the AB Tower; dress smart and book a window table for the view.
Ngoc Suong is a long-running upscale seafood restaurant in a classic villa on Suong Nguyet Anh, plating fresh fish, prawns and crab in a formal room.
OrderSteamed reef fish and salt-and-pepper prawns.
TipIt suits a group seafood banquet; fish is priced by weight from the tanks.
Cuc Gach Quan is a Bib Gourmand favourite: an architect's old villa turned into a warm room for home-style Southern Vietnamese cooking and clay-pot braises.
OrderThe clay-pot braised pork and the tofu the kitchen makes in house.
TipThere is no fixed menu; tell the staff your group size and let the dishes arrive family style.
