This the best meal I’ve ever had in Vietnam - and I say that as a foodie having taken over a dozen Vietnam trips in the past 20 years. Anan Saigon’s 10 course tasting menu is nothing short of what you’d find at a Michelin starred restaurant (actually better that some of Europe’s one stars I’ve tried). The only difference? The price. $68 (USD) for their tasting menu translates into one of the greatest values for ‘fine dining’ you’ll find on the planet. I was blown away, course after course at the incredible flavors as well as the depth and breadth of Vietnamese cuisine that this menu covers. It’s not “authentic” Vietnamese food. Calling it “fusion” would be an insult. It’s more so French style meets Vietnamese classics. A tour de force of Viet cuisine.

If you’re a foodie, and you’ve already tried the mind blowing street food of Saigon….and you’re looking for something a little fancy, definitely go here and do their tasting menu. Luckily, I was able to get a reservation same day by emailing them. Oh, and you’re welcome ;)
