La Camargue - Saigon's Original Venue for Gourmet Dining Ho Chi Minh City holds a secret - a hidden, secluded dining venue serving inspirational cuisine in a breathtakingly beautiful setting. The secret is Camargue - a gourmand's paradise, a wine lover's dream, a premier venue for fine dining in the heart of Saigon Camargue first opened its doors to an eager public in 1994 and has never looked back. The restaurant and its attendant bars are housed in an elegant villa set in a beautiful garden courtyard. The villa and its grounds have been lovingly restored your hosts Thy and Alexander Egert - the husband and wife team behind the restaurant - and once inside its walls you feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city of downtown. An inviting al fresco bar is the ideal spot for an after work drink or a pre-dinner cocktail, while the semi-open, balcony restaurant must rate as one of the most stylishly romantic dining options in town. Thirteen years on, the welcome at Camargue is as warm as the smiles on the faces of the friendly staff, and the Camargue magic is still at work ensuring memorable evenings, classical ambience, professional service, enjoyable company and excellent food.

The intimate dining rooms are beautifully appointed with luxurious furnishings and stylish, elegant table settings and linen. From the moment you're greeted by the professional serving staff, you'll enjoy a sense of heaven on earth, a little bit of culinary paradise in the heart of Saigon. The food at Camargue is renowned as some of the very best in Vietnam, with influences from France, Europe, Vietnam and all over the world. Choose from a classic carpaccio of beef, or a tuna tartar with more than a hint of wasabi, pehaps a generous portion of pan-fried mussels with wine and chives?
