6 places to eat in Saigon you haven’t heard of

Bored of your usual spots? Not to worry, here are six cool places to eat that you had no idea even existed

1. 5Ku Farm

Fresh air, beautiful scenery and peaceful vibes are the key selling points of this place. The cool wind, the sound of waves hitting the shores… the scene takes you back to the countryside, and you’ll forget that you’re really in a big city.
You’ll only need to visit 5ku Farm once, and it will stay in your memory forever. You’ll be fascinated at how this special restaurant operates so harmoniously with a farm.
Here, you’ll get to experience food from the countryside. They are simple but tasty and under the wonderful service of the lovely staff. A secret between me and you, all dishes are made using fresh ingredients grown on the farm, reaching food safety standards with flying colors.
The seats are all wooden, simple but stylish. What I love the most is the entrance to the farm with its flowers on either side.


2. Ethnic and cultural tourism

The place is quite wild, surrounded by fresh trees, suitable for the family picnic and friends to find a quiet place to rest.
The resort is mainly for vacation, so there are no games or recreation.

3. Saigon Garden

Having been to iconic places with extensive historical backgrounds, you should totally try this new place, which on the contrary has few stories to tell. Situated right on Nguyen Hue walking street, you are surrounded by the city’s most beautiful architectural landscapes, why not give it a try.


4. Nong Trang Green - Nguyen Thi Ranh

With such a wide area, this is a great place for families to visit, appealing especially to the kids. At the farms, kids can experience what they have never had in the urban life: farming, growing vegetables, taking care of goats, flying kites... Moreover, there is a pool of flowery surroundings, making it feel all the more suited to a holiday.


5. Highlands Culture Village

Tay Nguyen Cultural Village is located in Binh Quoi area, not too far from the city so it is very convenient for traveling. Here you can just enjoy the scenery, fishing, eat “Com lam ga sa lua”, which includes rice cooked in bamboo tubes and grilled chicken. If you’re lucky, you also have the opportunity to enjoy the “Cong chien Tay Nguyen” dance which is very special.


6. Binh My Eco-tourism Area

Cu Chi is very famous for many ecotourism locations, and so is Binh My. Coming out a while ago, with a very wide area filled with greens and a variety of terrains, there are many activities for you to try: rowing boats, camping,...
