Like all the previous reviews, I also agree that this place is a hidden gem! Kind of an escape from the humid weather and bustle of the city. I paid around 220,000 dong for a sandwich, ice coffee and cupcake. Really reasonable for what the resto provides: very nice interior, free wifi, good food, friendly service and cool music. Also...

My husband and I had brunch and came back for happy hour at this lovely shop and cafe. We came to Ho Chi Minh for just a couple days but the food is such stellar quality and the Vietnamese coffee the best we had in Vietnam the past 3 weeks it pulled us back in twice in one day. The... More

don't judge a book by it's cover. you'll find L'Usine is tucked away at the 1st floor of an art arcade in Dhong Khoi St. from outside, you won't have a clue that there's a great little restaurant upstairs! i guess that adds to its appeal. the food was great, the service was great, what more could you ask for?...

On our recent trip we ate here for lunch twice on our four day stay. And the food is always great and the service is fantastic. Tucked away through an art arcade, upstairs you will find this lovely gem. Recently they have expanded and now have more floor space. As well as the cafe, there is also a lovely little... More

Stunning and delicious place. Check out the Travel Logbooks they sell in the shop, next to the dining area.

Finding a best place is the best part of holiday. I saw this place from trip advisor and yes, you must go. You don't see best part of restaurant from outside at all. Even the way to go, you can't even imagine. But this is the place you should not missed. The chef cook beautiful light meal & specials are... More

Yummy western cuisine if you want a break from Vietnamese,. The service is good, and we were warmly welcomed by the staff that remembered us from our first visit. We ate here twice, as a bit of treat, and enjoyed it both times. The atmosphere is very groovy and gets quite busy especially lunchtimes in the cafe. Be sure to... More

Hidden away down an arcade and up some stairs, this is a wonderful cafe for lunch. Light and airy boutique cafe - great food and atmosphere ... Would definitely recommend if you're in Hi Chi Minh ... And lovely arty shop at the back. Thumbs up!
