Xu Restaurant and Lounge · Saigon
Modern Vietnamese upstairs and a lounge below, on Hai Ba Trung.
Xu has been running on Hai Ba Trung in District 1 since 2005, and it works on two levels: a modern Vietnamese restaurant upstairs and a lounge on the ground floor. The format means an evening here does not have to end when the plates do.
The kitchen takes Vietnamese cooking and presents it in a contemporary register - recognizable dishes, restructured - balancing modern technique with classic Vietnamese flavors across an a la carte menu and a tasting menu upstairs, in an elegant, discreet dining room. The ground-floor lounge runs cocktails and an international wine list and stays open later than the kitchen above it.
The address puts it in the middle of the Hai Ba Trung dining run, within a few minutes' walk of The Refinery, Hoa Tuc and El Gaucho, which makes it easy to build a night around.
Hai Ba Trung between Le Thanh Ton and the river is the densest good-eating stretch in District 1, which makes this an easy first stop to anchor a longer night instead of a destination on its own.
Address: 71-73-75 Hai Ba Trung, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Saigon
