10A delightful taste of France in the heart of SaigonDate of visit: July 2025 Trip type: Family dinner / Casual dining Overall rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) Food: ★★★★★ (5/5) Service: ★★★★★ (5/5) Value: ★★★★☆ (4/5) Atmosphere: ★★★★★ (5/5) Recommended: Yes Review: I dined at Chez Gilbert Saigon with my family and left genuinely impressed. The kitchen shows confident technique and respect for classic French flavors. Highlights were the charcuterie and pâté platter — thoughtfully curated cold cuts, a silky pâté, and house pickles that cut the richness — and the seared salmon with a clean beurre blanc that balanced buttery depth with bright acidity. The steak sandwich offered a perfect contrast: a crisp, structural baguette holding a juicy, medium-rare beef and a savory reduction. Homemade chips were crisp and well seasoned, an instant hit with the kids. Service was attentive and knowledgeable; staff suggested wine pairings and paced the meal so we could relax and enjoy each course. The dining room is warm and inviting, with soft French music and a layout ideal for family gatherings or intimate dinners. Pricing is fair for the quality and provenance of ingredients, though some dishes trend a little pricey for the portion size. Bottom line: Chez Gilbert Saigon is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic French bistro flavors in HCMC. Excellent food, polished service, and a cozy atmosphere — I’ll be returning to try more of their baguettes, sausages, and wine pairings. ...Xem thêm
