Padma de Fleur

Top choice in Ho Chi Minh City


This wonderful florist-cafe is run by an artistic owner who takes as much care with her bouquets as she does with her cooking. The food is healthy, nutritious and delicious, with lots of Vietnamese salad leaves and tasty morsels to savour. Located on a backstreet in an emerging hipster corner of town south of Pham Ngu Lao.

The space is open throughout the day for drinks (and flowers!), but food is only served at set times. Cocktails are also available in the evening (from 5pm to 10pm); reservations required.
