La Villa

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Chef Thierry Mounon and his Vietnamese wife Tina invite you to their elegant, rather grand home in a quiet area of District 2, around a 20-minute taxi drive from the maelstrom that is Ho Chi Minh’s downtown. The setting? A classic villa, colonial style, with beautiful gardens wrapped around a sparkling pool. Whether dining inside or out, the service and experience hark back to a more gracious age and the furnishings reflect that. The cuisine is also timeless, showcasing Mounon’s two decades of experience. Lobster à l’Americaine, a tweaked bouillabaisse or smoky canette de challans bring more than a distant memory of the chef's Provençal past, but each is prepared using modern techniques and looks clean, fresh and inviting on the plate. This is not a place that can’t let go of the past, rather it holds on to its best bits and combines them with imaginative touches from our global present. An experience to savour.
