Mandarine · Restaurant · Saigon
Traditional Vietnamese fine dining on Ngo Van Nam in District 1, with live music.
Mandarine sits on Ngo Van Nam in District 1, a fine-dining room built around traditional Vietnamese cooking and live music, and it commits to both fully. The food is presented with the vegetable-carving garnish work the kitchen is known for, a formal touch that sets the table before the first course arrives.
The cooking works through Vietnamese dishes served at fine-dining presentation. It sits at the traditional end of the city's upscale Vietnamese rooms, where Vietnam House is grander and Anan is a reinvention.
Live music runs most nights: classical western pieces on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, traditional Vietnamese music on Tuesday and Thursday, with a traditional dance performance available on request. It is genuinely part of the service here, not background, so this is a room for a dinner where that is welcome.
Mandarine serves lunch and dinner daily and takes reservations through its own website - use the booking button on this page. For visitors who want one properly formal Vietnamese dinner with live music alongside it, this is the booking.
