Old Saigon's opium refinery courtyard
The courtyard sits inside Saigon's old opium refinery — the oxblood awning still reads 'La Manufacture d'Opium Saigon — Built 1881'. That is the building's own date, lettered on the venue's own awning; black-and-white old-Saigon photos cover the indoor walls.
A midrange French brasserie & wine bar
Rattan bistro chairs, barrel tables, patterned tiles underfoot, the tree-shaded terrace — evenings are candlelight and white wine beside the seafood plate.
