Illy Cafe: real italian coffee and a chef from Piedmont

    Illy Cafe... after days of far too strong Vietnamese coffee, we thought we had landed in heaven when we saw Illy Cafe. The coffee-bar/restaurant is really nice, with comfortable armchairs and sofas, and an italian menu to die for... including some "typical" Piedmont dishes (bagna cauda for example) cooked by the Italian chef Giuseppe from Torino, who we met.

    Illy Cafe is open daily 07:30-23:30.

    We ordered Marocchino coffee, and it was perfect, at least in taste. It came in too large cups, which we found welcome... more delicious coffee to be had. And, as you can see from the pictures, well-presented, too.

    We had some take-away sandwiches to bring to the airport and avoid horrible in-flight meals... definitely a great idea. Somewhat pricey, but it was money very well spent.

    RESTAURANTS IN HCMC
  • Tip Rating:

  • There are thousands of restaurants in HCMC, from luxurious ones like Au Manoir De Khai, Mandarine, Nam Phan or those located in 5 star hotels to small-and-no-name food shops lying along streets. Most of them serve Vietnamese cuisines (of course), but you also can easily find other types such as Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Italian, French and so forth. In my restaurant tips, I just give you hints about some Vietnamese restaurants I LIKE and name & address of restaurants from outsiders. However, if you want to know more, ask!

  • Original CA Burrito is closed. New restaurant is called Glass Noodle on Nguyen Trung Truc (stones throw from Ben Thanh Market). Still good burritos, along with many other tasty western dishes.

  • This is my lunch about three times a week, great deli seving gourmet sandwhiches and salads (and some main courses). The restaurant itself is on the park in fron of the reunification palace, very chic but very busy with expats at lunch so get there early.

  • It translates to something like that. The guy that owns the restaurant is a Viet Kieu. I was told that he went all over town and got all the best vendors on the specific dishes (on the menu) to come to work for him, so whatever you''re eating there is supposed to be made from the best vendor in town. Originally, it was too expensive for the locals to eat there, only the Viet Kieu and the tourists could afford it. They have since dropped the prices and it's always pack.

    Bun thit nuong and Xoi vo. Yumm!!! I'm so hungry just thinking about it. Also, try some of their Che dessert.

    The first place I think of when my friends ask for a special local food restaurant is Pho 24. I strongly believe that this one can help me much in introducing a traditional-but-modern Vietnamese gastronomy.

    Mr. SuShi restaurant: sushi and sashimi: decent but not memorable

    sashimi...
    by call_me_rhia
    Mr. SuShi restaurant seems to be quite a popular choice for sushi and sashimi, as well as other Japanese dishes... there are over 100. When i was there there were several Japanese customers among the clientele - all eating tempura, though. it should have given us a hint. Not too pricey, but in general it lacked some quality.

    We had a really indifferent eel sushi (read: invisible eel, plennty of cucumber) and a somewhat better sashimi plate... The fish was very fresh, and some sorts were exceptionally tasty but... badly cut. There was definitely no real sushi master in the kitchen.

    Drop in to The Majestic - absolutely spectacular cakes and deserts for US$2! It's also a beautiful building and the foyer is worth checking out
