Café Saigon

Great food, its too full (ON A MONDAY NOON) and I didn’t make a Reservation. Its not even peak season.

Had a good chat with the Chef and an OMAKASE treatment instead!!! Great Pork Soup with thick , flavourful and sweet soup paired with Pork Wonton & Shrimp Tempura with special Vietnam chilli dip…

Soup is plainly flavourful and I only manage to left it with the only ingredients we can’t eat (its star anise by the way)

French Chef making Vietnamese dish fused with local French Flavour is just FANTASTIC!!!

Food took a while and worth the wait cause the Chef INSIST to cook each dishes to perfection…

I have to give top review on this one. Been around a number of Vietnamese across Europe but this one top the chart with its noodle and pork dish, very well made and best I had so far! The viet spring roll (or fried ravioli as they call it in the menu) is a must try, it burst with fragrance of fresh herbs wrapped in a crispy skin. Family business, mom is the chef and son takes the order, very organized and fast. And a great place to take sanctuary from the summer heat!

Very nice lunch here, the rice paper rolls were delicious- very fresh and full of flavour! The grilled pork with vermicelli noodles was great- very tasty meat which was crunchy from the grill but also super tender. Nice wines at a good price. Highly recommend!

Very happy to discover a very good alternative to all the bistrots of St Emilion right in the center of the town. The food is so delicious

probably the only Asian option in the petite village. loved every dish and the fact that they have slightly different menu everyday. You don't get to see French - Vietnamese fusion often.

I wish there were 6 stars for this restaurant—I’ve lived all over the world and have experienced my fair share of Vietnamese food, but this restaurant was by far the best Saigon cuisine I’ve ever had. The flavors were rich and unique and authentic. The chef is amazing!!!! And the wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful wine list put this place over the top for us. 10/10 would recommend. Even my children ate EVERYTHING on our plates and theirs!!

A unique experience with deep historical background. Expressive, tangy, delicate flavors put together with French attention to detail. Nicely paired with a local white wine. TIP: An oasis is a land of amazing cheese.

A few travelers were missing local Vietnamese food and stumbled on this hidden gem in St Émilion. Family run business with rotating menu. Delicious!

This is such a wonderful restaurant! Gets extremely busy and booked out so definitely call ahead and reserve. Menu changes daily/often, food is great. Service is absolutely incredible -I choked on my food (due to no fault of the restaurant) and could not breathe and the waiter quickly rushed over and performed the Heimlich maneuver on me. Afterwards, he got me a new dish and bubbly water -I truly have never experienced anything like it, staff is so kind. 10/10

Excellent meal no booking required
Choices of dishes was limited but understandable to ensure quick service
Prices as expected as saint emillon caters mostly to tourist trade.
Recommend for lunch visit if your looking for somewhere that has quick service

Service, atmosphere and the food... all 5 stars! Super tasty food, menu is short and varies daily. I do recommend you to eat here. Friendly service!

Excellent restaurant ! I love French food, but after many days here I was looking for something different. We went in off season and they proprietor welcomed us and did a good job of recommending the food and wine. One of the best wines I've ever had and for only €6! I would definitely recommend.

Very good, fresh food. We tried everything on the menu and enjoyed it all. I like that there is only a few things to choose from because you know what you are getting is good. Would definitely return if we find ourselves in saint emilion again.

This restaurant was recommended by Guy of Chateau Gaudet, and what a find it was! Really really nice food and prompt service too.

Great vegan option. Also had vegan wine. I believe there may have been more than one vegan option too.

Open when all were closed. Good food and wine selection. Relaxed atmosphere on the second floor. Highly recommended.

Delicious and fresh Vietnamese dishes that change daily according to seasonal produce.
Choice of a couple of entrées, mains and desserts.
Staff are friendly and provide an explanation of the menu in English as well if it’s needed.
I went for the traditional Vietnamese broth with pork and prawns which was amazing. My only slight complaint would be that I’d have liked a bigger portion size.
Highly recommend for those looking for something a little different.

Such an amazing spot. Some of the best Vietnamese food we’ve eaten. If you are in Saint Emilion looking for great food, I really recommend Cafe Saigon. We heard good things and wanted a change from traditional French food, but it was one of the best meals we have eaten in 6 weeks regardless of cuisine. Highly recommend.

I’m having lunch here right now - great pho.

Unbelievable food. Great wine pairing. Beautifully simple and clean inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend it! (And they speak English too)
We had pork stew (slow cooked, ridiculously good) home made stir fried vermicelli noodles with shrimp (perfectly cooked), and ravioli frites with pork inside.
For dessert: mango “soup” with coconut ice cream.
The flavors were perfectly blended and everything was refreshing and incredibly satisfying.
