Saigon d'Antan, the authentic Vietnamese restaurant Paris 6th arrondissement, near the Jardin du Luxembourg

Saigon d'Antan is a traditional Vietnamese restaurant located near the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris, offering an authentic Vietnamese experience. This popular restaurant in the Odeon district is always busy, and is the perfect place to enjoy Pho and Banh Xéo in the heart of Paris.

Step through the door at Saigon d'Antan, just a stone's throw from the Jardin du Luxembourg, and you'll immediately be enveloped in a warm ambience dominated by woodwork and canework. Here, you're transported far from the metropolis, straight to the bustling alleys of ancestral Vietnam.

Host Anthony Taing invites you to immerse yourself in Vietnamese gastronomy. Entrusting his kitchen to the talented Chefs Loan Hoang and Joël Tang, he offers you true Vietnamese cuisine that is both authentic and adapted to Western palates. You'll enjoy the house's signature dishes:

Steamed ravioli
Chef's spring rolls with beef and lemongrass
Banh cuon
Phó soups
Bo buns
Banh Xéo
La Lot skewers marinated in vine leaves

All dishes are homemade, from broths to sauces and juices. Fresh produce, delivered daily, is at the heart of this artisanal cuisine.

But what would a good meal be without a drink to accompany it? Here, you can enjoy a Vietnamese lager or the famous Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. And for those who prefer wine, light and harmonious options are available to enhance each dish. The restaurant's sober, modern setting is mainly characterized by its dishes. Every bite reminds us of the flavors of old Saigon.

Located in the heart of Saint-Germain, Saigon d'Antan is easily accessible, especially from the Odéon station. Don't wait too long to get there, as the restaurant fills up fast. We love the chef's spring rolls with lemongrass-flavored beef, the Banh Xéo (Vietnamese pancake), richly garnished with meat and shrimp, and the crispy coconut-flavored pancake.

The meal ends with the coconut-banana dessert (Chè Chuoi) and fresh mango with glutinous rice.

In short, if you're looking for a good Vietnamese restaurant or an affordable nugget to take your taste buds on a journey just a stone's throw from the Jardin du Luxembourg, keep this address on your radar!
