Such a delighting find hidden near Pham Viet Chanh. This is our 2nd time coming to the place. Ambience: chilled, casual and cozy enough for friendly hangouts and dates. They also have upstairs area. Service: attentive and friendly :) the staff was caring without being too imposing. Food: definitely the biggest highlights. We love love every dish there so far! Such a good twist on the common dishes like bone marrow, gnocchi, baba ghanoush. The presentation is pleasing and neat, while the menu is big enough to encourage you to come back for more. Some of my top dishes are: Their versions of bone marrow are the definition of luxury richness and explosive flavors. Highly recommended the scallop one. Spicy marinara gnocchi: a lovely dish where they slightly fry the gnocchi to make them a perfect combination of soft inside and chewy outside. The sauce is slightly spicy and well-flavored. Amazing dish to have with beer I would say. Their ravioli tasted amazing as well. Linguine with mushroom: creamy and a bit sweet but I love love such seasoning! Only downside is that it's not for everyday hangout as it's around 500 - 650k per pax with 1 wine glass or cocktail.
Overall, 10 out of 10. Would come...

Read moreLocated on the lively Nguyen Cong Tru street, @pickleseaterysaigon nestled in a vintage shop house with such a homey atmosphere. I love that they use a pattern from the house as their logo so it would connect more with the architecture.
Their food items are mostly seasonal and homemade so everything was so fresh especially their pickled veggies. I’m not really a fan of vegetables but their pickled versions are so well seasoned. Also the Black pudding with Anchovies mustard cream is a must try, it’s like a “terre et mer” dish with that perfect umami flavor from the cream, which just makes you want more.
Their sous vide chicken fillet was luscious, and together with the sesame dressing would create a nice balance to the palate.
I also try the other dishes such as Beetroot and goat cheese salad and Babaganoush (eggplant dip), which is a Lebanese appertizer. And they were all delicious!
Overall, excellent wine pairing, thoughtfully crafted food and cozy ambience with such affordable price. Well you know where to head next for...
