Cheat Day: Le Garcon Saigon launches new mouthwatering fusion Vietnamese menu

We’re on record as being big fans of bistro Le Garcon Saigon for its shredded chicken salad and DIY lettuce and rice paper rolls. Newly appointed Head Chef John Nguyen has just crafted a dazzling new menu of mouth-watering dishes inspired by both his Vietnamese heritage and American upbringing.

Get stuck into the bánh xèo ($198), a cross between a rice pancake and grilled cheese, or the charcoal-grilled white eel ($358), which comes swimming in a highly addictive pineapple anchovy dressing. There are also plenty of noteworthy veggie dishes, like crispy eggplant with a ginger glaze. If you’re looking for a place to splash out and indulge this month, this is one to add to your list.
