At Saigonese Eatery, we believe the best food begins with respect — for ingredients, for the people who grow and catch them, and for the environment we all share. Our new tasting menu, Phu Quoc’s Delight, is a celebration of that belief.

Crafted entirely with ethically sourced, local ingredients, this 7-course experience offers a true taste of Phu Quoc — from its coastal waters to its forested farms. But it’s more than just a meal. It’s our way of telling a story: one of flavour, community, and sustainability.

🍽️ What to Expect: A Tour of the Island in Seven Bites

Each dish in Sagonese Eatery, Phu Quoc’s Delight is inspired by a location on the island and features ingredients sourced directly from nearby communities and producers.

1. Rach Vem Cobia Ceviche

Fresh cobia from northern waters, citrus-cured and topped with pickled shallots and local herbs.

2. Cua Can Tiger Prawn in Coconut Milk

Succulent prawns from Cua Can mangroves, simmered in creamy coconut milk — a warm, fragrant bite of the tropics.

3. Bai Dat Do Pickled Herring with Red Pepper Sauce

A spicy-sour tribute to traditional island flavours, made with sun-dried local red chillies.

4. Hon Mot Sea Urchin Pâté on Sourdough Toast

Uni from the east coast becomes a rich pâté, spread over freshly baked sourdough from the Saigonese Bakery.

5. Rach Soi Dry-Aged Duck Breast with Green Peppercorn Sauce

Dry-aged in-house, our duck is served with a punchy sauce made from Phu Quoc’s famous green peppercorns.

6. Vung Bau Sim Berry and Lime Tart

A sweet island finale made with wild sim berries and fresh lime — zingy, floral, and unforgettable.

7. Ham Ninh Flower Crab Fried Rice

Sweet crab from Ham Ninh folded through fragrant fried rice — a comforting finish to your journey.

🌿 Our Sustainable Approach

Sustainability isn’t a trend at Saigonese — it’s a responsibility. We work hard to ensure every aspect of your dining experience supports the local community and respects the island’s ecosystem.
