Bistro Tony — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

What a gem of a find! This is our 2nd visit in 3 weeks, and that's saying a lot with the multitude of excellent choices in Thao Dien. What's special about this small, charming French Bistro? It's home cooking French foods using fresh ingredients, cooked by owner and chef Tony himself. The French Onion Soup is made with a rich Pho's broth. The melt in your mouth Beef Bourguignon is accompanied by a mash sweet potato with carrot. The Duck leg is crispy on the outside and soft, juicy on the inside. The Tony's wagyu burger came with a cheese sauce tangoed with mango slices. We finished with a soft, creamy creme brulee and a rich chocolate cake. No pictures on this visit, but we'll save them for next time! The best part besides the delicious foods? Our bill came out to $60 for 3, for 3 starters, 3 main dishes, 2 desserts, 3 non alcoholic drinks, and 2 bottles of water. You can't find this...

What an absolute joy to have dined here. We each had a full 3-course meal and a bottle of wine but for a particular reason, it was all gone so quickly, and it wasn’t because the portion was humble in size, but because every single dish was a stunner.

I practically inhaled the escargots like I do air there was not even a moment where I thought about taking a photo of it. Little did I know, it was the beginning of a crescendo.

The coq au vin felt like a warm hug of spice. Familiar, yet exciting. The quiche lorraine creamy and indulgent. The opera cake rich and divine. The constant influx of baguette refill, hot to the touch, scrumptious and crispy mouthfeel.

But my oh my, the pavlova, paired with strawberry coulis and a myriad of fresh fruits, was a show-stopper. Sweet and tangy and ever so slightly chewy. What an airy, melt-in-your-mouth delight.

All that just to tell you, I can’t...

Tony Bistro is exactly the kind of place you want to come back to : fresh ingredients, flavorful dishes, and a menu that offers a beautifully balanced twist on classic French cuisine without overdoing it. That’s where its charm lies.

The Tony Burger is an absolute knockout, and the veal blanquette is pure comfort food done right. Don’t miss the foie gras, and whatever you do, save room for dessert — Tony’s signature fraisier is a must-try!

To top it all off, the chef is not only talented but also incredibly friendly and passionate about his food, he loves to talk about each dish and share his story. Whether it’s for a casual dinner or a special occasion, I 100% recommend Tony Bistro.

They also offer an excellent catering service, with the same attention to quality and taste. And the value for money is truly impressive.

A place where you feel good and eat...
