Le Corto — French fine dining in District 1

Le Corto is French fine dining at 5D Nguyen Sieu, District 1 — Chef Sakal Phoeung's kitchen, and the signature is the beef wellington diners photograph again and again: the pink-centered slice, golden pastry, grey stoneware, the sauce jug alongside. The room runs on candlelight — the gala photo shows exactly that mood: dark wood, leather-tufted walls, the bottle-lined bar and the gilt mirror.

On the table

Three from the photos.

Said plainly: Le Corto publishes no menu — the three dishes below are what the photo set actually shows: the beef wellington, the plated meat with green foam, and the foamy white soup.

The beef wellington, sliced

The signature: two slices of beef wellington — pink-centered fillet, golden pastry — on the grey speckled plate, with the sauce jug and red wine at a candle-lit table.

Plated meat with green foam

Beyond the wellington: pink-centered meat with green foam, baby carrot, mushrooms and herbs — precise modern-French plating.
