As always, The Refinery will welcome you during the Tet holidays!
It pops out of nowhere especially when you're walking into that alley expecting to see only a Lebanese restaurant . Quite a classy and comfortable place to grab a reasonably tasty meal
Solid French / Western food at very good price. Love the fact that they never kick you out no matter how long you're staying for a drink.
Come after 3:30 for 30% off cocktails and hors d’ouvres, including duck pate crostini ! Delicious and a great deal
The Crispy Lamb with carrot purée is amaze balls!
Great location away from the street and nice to sit outside in the courtyard . Great food, especially the salads if you're after a western fix
Pasta dishes and fish is good. The beef is generally good. Good selection of wine . Prices are not cheap but well worth it.
Nice dinner place . Packed of foreign guests. Good food.
Mini brunch at 250k from 11:00am-4:00pm. Choose the egg ben just for the sauce which tastes like heaven...
I tried the cheeseburger and the chocolate pudding and they were both amazing. Best restaurant in Saigon.
Huge veggie risotto but original combination and worth the price. Could be for two though. Chocolate mousse also as it should be. Love the European brasserie feel...
Tons of expats. Decent Western food . Nice reprieve from the noise of Saigon, but don't fall into the expat trap of eating for more than $3/meal every day.
Yves. The manager is very friwndly and helpful. Best is chicken fettuccine . Best dish. Try it.
Great for kids: so sweet the girls are having French braids done while colouring. Kids menu too.
Good food. Very nice decor space and very vintage atmosphere
Salmon carpaccio and chicken stuffed with goat cheese recommended. The cauliflower mash is incredible ! Good vibe
Charming spot but you'd think a French restaurant in Vietnam would have better bread . White toast in the bread basket , white toast in the eggs benedict . Quite disappointing.
Near perfect food, i like how the lemon juice is placed under your fish . White wine is fine too.
Great food. Great ambience. Great service. Will be back for sure.
Fettuccine is handmade and delicious!
Friendly staff . Weekend brunch is syper nice and there is a kid corner
Cool place to discover in HCMC. Good service and diverse menu.
Good thing is now there are so many new restaurants in this area, and here is not too much crowded any more! (^-^)
Salads are fantastic at The Refinery. Food is generally good and desserts to die for.
Nice place, nice to stay and hang out here, do people watching . The place is popular among the expats and the local Frenchs.
Tried sandwich and fruit juice here with my husband, so strange and delicious.
Big brunch between 11am and 4pm is really good and very filling
Great salad menu - main course size. Nice crowd.
The Refinery Green Tea Cocktail is unusual. In a good way. Food was good.
Great place for brunch ! You can get all the tastes for half the price!
Duck confit is crispy , delicious with potatoes
Can't complain with the Belgian beers . Duvel would definitely add extra punch to the menu though !
Lovely french resto with good food but the wine hmmm.. Very pricey thou. Carry many dongs with u
Great french dishes! Spectacular
The big minus is that the French manager/owner deals and talks only with white people. No hello and no talking to the Asians. Weird for the SEA country . Find it wrong
Great French bistro , try the salmon steak .
The terrace is very enjoyable with a glass of wine .
Very nice and fresh salad here! Love it
Actually it is not traditional french but something in btw italian and french in terms of menu
Beef tartare was not bad. Nothing that amazing but it's not too bad.
Everything is great.
Nice place for brunch . Shame that they smoke inside
Risottos , burgers , coffee desserts
The food we ordered all turned out good. The shrimp starter was good.
Good food, good place. Service are great.

U should try the pork and deep fried chicken . The best everrrr
Great mini brunch on weekends
Nice area with lots of delicious restaurants !
Gr8 food, amazing service and brilliant service. Definitely a hidden jewel in HCMC. - Ankur Malik
Great chicken breast with goat cheese. The tart of the day is always great. No diet coke on the menu. - Geoffrey Bagot
Food and service are outstanding. The risotto was delicious and the thin crust pizza was crispy as it should be. Highly recommended. - Jasmine
New, classy, enjoyable, creative and nice cocktails, excellent vibes, amazing fusion cuisine, beautiful people as customers...what else can you expect? Come and enjoy the moment!? - Josep V
Best food we've had in Vietnam. Lamb was excellent and the dessert bites are the perfect portion. Manager brought out two glasses of desert wine for free after learning it was our honeymoon. - Beer Singh
Really great meal, try the chicken in lemongrass and chili - delicious! The fried spring rolls were similarly amazing. - Bryn Sadler
