Restaurants & Bar-Lounge
Saigon Kitchen
An All-Day dining restaurant venue that embraces an open kitchen concept to provide customers with the exquisite view of our star chefs in action. The authentic Indochina and European cuisines are represented not only through the extraordinary voyage of flavors, but also from the street food inspired design. The spread and diverse range of cuisine, style, taste were apparent throughout the morning breakfast, and we were accorded a series of hospitable service that resonated throughout the restaurant, a hint of the good training delivered by the training manager and purpose-driven operational finesse from both the F&B director and GM of the property.

Social Club Restaurant
A place to see and to be seen, the Social Club restaurant located on 23rd Floor was conceived by the legendary design house Super Potato and inspired by the 19th century Europe. The unique Oakwood bar specially imported from London has been matched with the elegant interior which is designed to arouse a passionate sense of Europe in 1930s.
Here, we sampled exquisite European cuisine made with the freshest seasonal ingredients and also sipped a couple of cooling cocktails overlooking the glittering city skyline. We sampled several key dishes that gave us a wonderful impression of the cuisine standard, along with top service from their captain, Clint Bui.
First off was the Frog Legs, that was nicely prepared with garlic butter, laksa leaf tempura, garlic purée, asparagus risotto, sun-dried tomatoes and parsley purée. Then we tried the Bouillabaisse which was done to superb perfection in showcasing the flavour-terroirs of this amazing French delicacy, and reminds me of my time in Marseille. A combination of Hokkaido scallops, Tiger prawns, clams, garlic snails and squid was slowly cooked with fennel, rouille sauce and toasted bread. Incroyable!
For the Main courses, we tried both the 400 DAYS GRAIN-FED F1 WAGYU STRIPLOIN MS6 (AUS) 250GR portion as well as the KAGOSHIMA WAGYU A5 OYSTER BLADE (JP) 200GR portion; both were superbly refined and grilled to perfection with the right touch in Medium format! It's an absolute delight to taste a superb steak Wagyu-driven in Saigon, Vietnam.
For dessert, we had the Banoffee Tiramisu, which consisted of a combination of Coffee soaked ladyfinger, mascarpone cheese, banana and coffee espuma in a biscotti, So Tasty!
Opening hours: 5:30 pm – 11:00 pm (Monday to Saturday)
Sunday Epic Brunch: 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
Social Club Rooftop Bar
Located on the 24th Floor, it’s a spectacular venue to indulge yourself with a variety of cocktail and drink and enjoying the sunset near the pool, where the trendy and chic populace of Saigon come to mingle, relax and chill.
We sampled two lovely cocktails and were enthralled by the style and concoction, which brings testament to their cocktail-bar curation team. The La Nuit De L' Homme was delivered through the auspices using Jim Beam Bourbon, fresh lime, Vietnamese mango puree, pink & black pepper, ocean sea salt & star anise water, pineapple juice and Madagascar vanilla syrup. The L' Homme, a non-assuming showpiece comprised of Tanquery gin, lemon juice, basil & white pepper infused with Bianco Vermouth, fresh ginger mashed, top up tonic water and naturally Monkey 47
