Fiftysix — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Visited for the first time this week and can't believe we haven't been sooner!!! Sat in the small 'outside' area of the restaurant which looked out onto the small square & allowed you to watch the world go by. It was all undercover so the rainfall didn't make a difference.

The food was incredible, everything ordered was impeccable & no fault could be found. We ordered a selection of starters to share between 4 of us, then a main course each. Every dish was delicious!!! We had the lamb, flank steak, burger & barracuda (this was on the specials board). The portion sizes were great (you need to order separate fries for your burger). Great price and value for money. Good selection of wine & beers available, but no spirits on the menu.

We'll definitely be returning soon for...

Visited twice in the last month on recommendation of my son who lives here, very impressed. The owner/Chef Nic runs a very sharp ship, with a couple of commis chefs in support role, he cooks everything, nowhere to hide, very much on the ball and a great experience to watch. Sensible menu and always a Specials blackboard, all well priced, share starters (scallops and empanadas) then treat yourself to Steak, Barramundi or the delicious Beef Cheek Ragu, I can’t fault the cooking. Waiting staff, friendly, attentive and knowledgable. Ambience, welcoming, informal Comprehensive, sensibly priced wine list, the Muga 2016 sold out, it’s now the 2017 vintage, it’s a bargain! That’s it,...

It’s a small joint and we were given a seat on the second floor. I find that the second floor seemed a little spartan and lacking of character. However, the chef executed most of the dishes well. The scallops were perfectly cooked, charred outside and moist inside. The gnocchi too were exceptional with soft, pillowy textures. The main of pork loin could be cooked a little less as I found it just a tad dry. The desserts were just alright. I found the service a little lacking in warmth. Overall, I think this is a great place for a night’s out and might come back here if I’m in the...
