Evening Street Food Adventure Through Saigon

Unlike most other Saigon food tours, we won't serve you Pho, spring rolls, Vietnamese pancakes, or Banh Mi sandwiches. Instead, discover local food spots with us that are a bit off the beaten path in local districts.

On this menu, you will taste cuisine from North, Central, and South Vietnam.

Let's rock and roll to the first stop.

  • Bo La Lot - beef wrapped in betel leaf, BBQ beef combined with green herbs and a special dipping sauce. This restaurant is recommended by the Michelin Guide.

Next, we keep exploring more small alleyways through many old buildings and ghettos, then stop for another delicious dish.

  • Banh Canh Muc in Chinatown - Saigon-style thick squid noodle soup with fish cakes.

Catch your breath and slow down with a sweet local treat.

  • Che - a sweet hot dessert in Saigon with eight different flavours, made with tropical fruits, nuts, beans, grains, seeds, flowers, and roots.

After that, we drive you to the most significant wholesale flower market and outdoor street food area. There are more than 100 food stalls to see and savour even more food.

  • Banh Trang Nuong - hot Vietnamese pizza
  • Relish coconut ice cream
  • One food challenge you must try before you die

For the last stop, we keep feeding you more food. However, we also grab a beer to drink while sitting behind our scooters and let your stomach relax and digest after driving quite a long way to the gangster town.

  • Relish Com Kho Quet, rice bathed in rich condensed fish sauce and pork fat.
