Dim Tu Tac, Saigon, Vietnam

Saigon is an overwhelmingly large city, with 12 million people, and while people drive slightly less crazily than in the rest of Vietnam, and it is easier to cross the street here than anywhere else we were, we were still committed to walking to dinner, and trying to make it a 1/2 hour radius around our hotel. There are a number of well reviewed European restaurants in Saigon, but we were interested in staying in the Asian food realm, and chose this one, which is Cantonese food with a Michelin Bib Gourmand rating.

The restaurant is continuously open in the afternoon to evening, which is another plus, because we enjoy eating our last meal of the day earlier than most these days. We do not have even an acceptable Chinese restaurant in our town, so this was a real treat for us. The duck, which is a favorite of my spouse, was the highlight, but every dish we got was excellent, and we would highly recommend this if you were willing to veer off the Vietnamese cuisine path for a meal.
