Vietnamese–European fusion
District 1 · 280 Lê Thánh Tôn

The tamarind table, remade the modern way

European technique, Vietnamese spice — plated in a dining room grown from the tamarind leaf itself.

The concept

Tamarind & oak

Me Ta plates Vietnamese flavors through modern European technique — slow braises, precise sears, and sauces built on tamarind, lemongrass, and fish sauce aged like a fine stock. The dining room is designed as a boutique tamarind grove: green depths, brass light, oak warmth.
