Catering for Every Taste
The elegant Saigon of old, is imaginatively recreated in the French restaurant, with inspiration for the decor taken from the city’s opera house. The cuisine is French contemporary infused with Asian herbs and spices. It is not only the setting that reflects a bygone era, the service style also draws upon the authentic dining experiences of the past. Carving trolleys, table preparation and flambé reintroduce classical elements of service that are fast being forgotten.
Needless to say that the adjacent wine cellar will offer some of the finest accompaniments for food, with several hundred labels sourced from both the new and the old world. In addition to the impressive wines on offer, the clubby White Bar and Brown Bar are the places to enjoy pre and post dinner drinks, or perhaps a fine cognac, cigar and stimulating conversation.
On the other hand, hip is in at The Den. With décor inspired by the mischievous and indulgent Saigon dens of a century past, our Den is a specialty bar; the trendy place to be at night with a mood DJ serving up chill music while the bar dispenses great drinks for good times.
Meanwhile, back at The Village, indulgences include the French cafe and Chocolatier. In addition to the best coffee in the region, chocoholics can enjoy all manner of temptations, from beverages to confectionary. Nearby is the ice cream parlour, with more than three dozen tempting flavours. Or take the high road this once, and drop into the healthy juice and snack bar for a conscious-free alternative. Seating at both outlets is inside and alfresco.
