Behind Secret Garden Restaurant, Saigon, Secret Garden In Saigon
It was the rhythmic sizzle and pop of the woks that convinced us to stay. After four grimy flights of stairs, we were starting to question our Vietnamese friend’s recommendation. There were so many great places to eat in Saigon. We were starving, but we considered turning back. Then we heard the music of the kitchen. Instantly we imagined piles of meat and veggies swooshing around the woks. A few more steps up and we inhaled more tempting aromas than we could name. Now we were hooked. We hurried up the last few steps, excited to try out Saigon’s Secret Garden Restaurant.

We loved the Secret Garden Restaurant. It’s now one of our top recommendations in Saigon’s District 1 for 5 reasons:
The Secret Garden Serves up Vietnamese Home Cooking (or as close as it gets in a restaurant). The Secret Garden has a Rooftop Garden Terrace. The Secret Garden is Authentic and “Foreigner-Friendly.” The Secret Garden has a Central Location.The Secret Garden has great prices.
The Secret Garden Serves up “Home Cooked” Vietnamese Food
OK, it’s not exactly “home cooking,” but the Secret Garden offers traditional “home-style” Vietnamese food and is highly recommended by locals. It’s the kind of traditional Vietnamese food passed down by Vietnamese grandmothers. Our friend said it was a great place for all the poor travellers who don’t have a Vietnamese granny to cook for them.

Just like in grandma’s kitchen, don’t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the dishes. There’s no “gastronomy” at the Secret Garden, but the food pops with flavor and freshness. It’s not fancy food, but it’s delicious.

This massive Banyan tree is right around the corner from the Secret Garden restaurant. It’s almost 200 years old and is too cool to skip. At the intersection of Pasteur and Ly Tu Trong, turn right on Ly Tu Trong and walk about 150 feet. This gigantic old tree is in a little park on the right.

Across the street from the Banyan tree is the historic Gia Long Palace, current home of the Ho Chi Minh City Museum. The palace is a beautiful example of 19th-century French architecture, and the museum houses exhibits dating back to the earliest history of Vietnam.
