Just next to the Press Club and across from the Sofitel Metropole, this exclusive little bistro, like its sister, the Emperor, serves delicious Vietnamese food that's a bit dolled-up for the foreign palate -- and priced to the foreign wallet. They have all kinds of Vietnamese fare, from Hue specials like crispy fried spring rolls to delicate, smaller versions of
banh khoi (fried doughy pancakes filled with vegetables, herbs, and shrimp). You'll also find stir-fries and hot-pot specials, as well as grilled chicken in lemon grass and rich fried squid. The atmosphere is a retro French villa with lots of cozy romantic nooks and candlelight.
