What makes Tables 157
The balcony
Night tables outdoors, wine by lantern light with the city glowing below — the restaurant's most coveted seats.
The room
Cognac-leather chairs, dark-wood tables, a wine wall and arched windows — old-Saigon colonial elegance.
The table
A generous European kitchen: squid-ink pasta, tuna crudo, sliced tomahawk and playful desserts.
On the table
European plates, golden light
Five dishes as diners captured them — from squid-ink pasta to the trompe-l'œil orange dessert.
Tuna crudo & beetroot
Fresh cubed tuna, roasted beetroot on cream, finished with edible flowers.
Sliced tomahawk
Perfectly rested slices on a wooden board, with two dipping sauces.
The orange dessert
The trompe-l'œil orange — a citrus shell around cold cream on chocolate soil.
Almond pastry
Crisp layered pastry stacked high, crowned with flaked almonds and a flower.
