Saigon
A perennial Cape Town favourite for lovers of Vietnamese food.
Saigon has been going strong at the same location for almost 30 years and is an absolute Cape Town institution. Family meals, date nights, anniversaries, birthday parties – it all works at this Vietnamese eatery, which recently underwent a spiffy renovation. The focus is Vietnamese and Asian food and the menu offers many options – from a host of spring rolls (the crispy duck is a perennial favourite) to dim sum, sushi and, of course, noodle dishes. The kitchen sends out food in a very timeous manner and every plate is brimming with freshness and flavour, and nicely plated, too. The drinks list is both well-priced and well sourced, with a good affordable selection by the glass. Service is warm and attentive, and even on very busy nights, staff will go out of their way to accommodate last-minute arrivals. That said, it can get hopping, so book a table to avoid disappointment.
Don't leave without trying:
