La Villa is an excellent restaurant that I would recommend for anybody who want to eat an authentic and upper quality almost gastro French Food in Saigon. The good thing is this restaurant serves an authentic cuisine from the South of France. A cuisine made with thyme, rosemary, olive oil, garlic, aioli, tepenade, anis, pitchoulines...etc and creme de la creme... More

I wanted to try a good French restaurant while in Vietnam, and came here because Trois Gourmands (which had been recommended by friends) was closed and this restaurant had good reviews on TripAdvisor. Though the food was very good, it was not as excellent as I had hoped. (My expectations were set in some very fine French restaurants in New... More

We have visited La Villa with several good recommendations from friends and we were not disappointed at all. The food is excellent, the dishes are delicious, well prepared and technically perfect. This less than 2 years restaurant has a bright future if they continue with its perfectionist mentalithy. Behind this piece of southern France you can find Thierry Mounon. He... More

This little restaurant nestled in a garden with pool in a side street of District 2 is just nice. Food and service are very good. It's always a pleasure to have a really nice evening there.

The restaurant was recently knocked off the (tripadvisor) top spot in HCMC, but I'd go again. A bit out of the way (a good 30mins from the New World) and down a quiet alley, but worth looking for. Service was extremely attentive (but not intrusive) and knowledgable. And the food and wine were excellent. I had the pork menu (($65)... More

My husband & I had the 5 course dinner option. You could have an entree, fish, meat, cheese & dessert, plus they also give you some great little extras as well. The serving size is great if you are having 5 courses but if you weren't you might be wondering where the rest was. My favourite dish was the chocolate... More
