Le Café des Stagiaires - Saigon - Bar in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

Loved sunset drinks at Le Café des Stagiaires. We arrived around 5:30pm without a booking and easily got a table for four (two adults, two children), but if you want a front-row spot definitely reserve ahead. The view is great - we loved watching Landmark 81 light up as it got dark. 🍸 We ordered cocktails, beers, mocktails and fresh juices, plus croquettes, arancini and the Brie dip - all delicious. There’s also a children’s menu (the mac & cheese went down very well!). A DJ created a fun atmosphere without it being too loud, and the security staff were brilliant - kindly helping carry our pram up the stairs. Would happily come back.

A friend once told me this is the best sunset in Saigon. I am inclined to agree. Always a place I take newcomers when I have the pleasure to show people around Saigon. Good tapas food, good music, good view.

Wonderful rooftop setting with views of the river and Landmark 81. Belgian and French beers on tap, plus a selection of bottled options. Good variety of cocktails. It feels about 80% frequented by foreigners.

Went to the rooftop bar intially but a bit windy and noisy for me so went downstairs. Awesome steak frite for me, served hot, decent fries and an ace pepper sauce. It was getting busy as they had a show on later but had a few glasses of IPA and a decent glass of red.

We came here after work to enjoy a glass of wine with a nice view of the river. We ordered a cheese and charcuterie platter for the price, it was fine. After that, we had our main dishes and desserts. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, though I’d probably come back more for a drink than for a full meal.
