Lavelle Library — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

It's quite disappointing experience say the least. Pro: Layout, ambience, nice garden. Con: the food. Heard from a friend that the chef used to be a sous chef for a Michelin Star chef so decided to give it a try. The food was mediocre. We ordered 2 starters, shrimp salad and chef's special "bánh tieu" (which was alright) but the shrimp was undercooked. I do appreciate slightly undercooked shrimp head so it's juicer, but not raw. For the main courses we ordered chicken croquettes and cod fish. The chicken was a bit dry but it's not too bad, a bit bland for my taste though.

Recently booked an event for my son 1st birthday. This place prefer Celebrities or KOL than normal guests. They treat my event with new waiter (like part time without any service qualities) they gave us normal TV that didn’t work well and totally ruin my event’s timeline. Food is good enough, place is beautiful but sale or marketing person did try to move us to their school for the event even we booked first. As I mentioned, they gave the beautiful garden as they posted (ads) or garden room for more famous people. Foods were served slower due to that problem. Sale/marketing person (Ms.Thao) also lied a lot to guests. Totally upset and disappointed at choosing this place for my son...

It is definitely the beautiful place to hang out in nature. I just missed morning breakfast which includes egg benedict. I ordered salmon and scallop. The salmon dish was quite good and I like it a lot and even the portion is good. But the scallop dish is just only one scallop, just cut into two piece. So I was very hungry afterward. After this restaurant, I ended up with Loop restaurant at D2 and finished all Cuban sandwich right away. I eat a lot. Placewise it is very beautiful place for dating. The chicken dish is soy bean based and not much special taste to me. However the chocolate dessert is very recommending. Interior and outside garden are outstandingly beautiful...
