The garden behind the gate
A pond, a boardwalk, a Buddha among ferns — the city seems to switch off the moment you step through the gate.

HOME COOKING · GARDEN · LANTERNS
Past the tiled-roof gate on Lê Công Kiều street is a shaded garden courtyard — mud walls, wooden pillars, baked brick and long shared tables. The kitchen cooks home-style Vietnamese food for the whole table to share, a 2-minute walk from Bến Thành Market and the MRT.

Home-cooked Vietnamese
Salads, grilled dishes, clay pots and caramel sauces — cooked like at home, served for the whole table to share.
The lantern hour
When daylight gives up, the lanterns take over and the garden becomes a different room — book ahead for sunset.
The Northwest in District 1
Baked brick, wooden pillars, mud walls
