T
he sleepy palms, French colonial architecture and – above all else – tranquillity – are reminiscent of a time-passed, beckoning guests to bid farewell to the chaos of city life. Saigon River’s serenity can be marvelled at by both outdoor and indoor diners and on weekends the awes of this view are amplified by the electricity of live jazz and baroque music. Bistro Song Vie’s menu embraces seasonal and local produce while showcasing Vietnamese and Asian culinary favourites alongside delicious modern cuisine. The breakfast menu promises to awaken the senses through its masterful combination of nourishing, delectable and fresh dishes and guests can opt for international or local favourites, such as the eggs benedict or phở.
