Chanh Bistro Rooftop Saigon — Rooftop bistro in District 1

A French bistro in the heart of Bến Thành: the colonial villa, est. 2015, the rooftop garden of palms and string lights, the city lighting up below. The night garden is what brings diners back — 4.5 stars from 1,299 Google reviews say as much.

The signature

The sliced duck breast.

The owner-posted October 2026 photo: sliced duck breast fanned out with vegetables and sauce — the most-photographed dish in the venue's photo set.

On the table

What the photos actually show.

Said plainly: Chanh Bistro Rooftop Saigon publishes no merchant menu we could copy faithfully — the menu section on its Maps listing is empty — so we record only the dishes that appear in the real photo set: seared salmon with cream sauce, sliced duck breast, and steak with fries.
