Hailed as one of Vietnam’s top 10 restaurants, it would be a mistake not to sample South African chef louise serfontein’s delicious cuisine at Le Parfum. Housed in the former French governor’s mansion (now the beautiful La Residence hotel), the restaurant maintains an elegantly colonial feel. Sip a drink from the terrace while looking over the tropical greenery of the gardens, or relish your meal in the cheerful airy dining room on dark wooden chairs. An imaginative menu offers dishes like lamb rack, grilled beef fillet and pan-seared tuna, each dish unique and mouthwatering.

Snapper paella are options as well like lobster, scallops grilled king prawns or caramelized snapper. Try the honey glazed duck leg to remind you of Vietnam’s delicious street food without the chaos of the streets. Lighter dishes include classic pastas and savory soups. Delicately cooked and served dishes in a classic venue make le parfum a favorite dining spot among locals and visitors, not just hotel guests. Learn to cook in hue or relax on the calm perfume river as cooking classes and cruises are available upon request.
