Why it matters
Why Viet Village Restaurant is worth your time
Dinh Tien Hoang runs alongside the area near the Notre-Dame Basilica and Post Office, so this is a convenient dinner near those sights. Table-style sharing helps older travellers, who may eat small portions, and families with different tastes.
The Indochine-style room gives a sense of the French-colonial period without a hotel dining bill, but the exact comfort should be checked before you commit to a large group. A short call to ask about steps, table size and set menus is worthwhile before a large group commits.

How to experience it
Vietnam Découverte lists Viet Village Restaurant at 15-17 Dinh Tien Hoang in District 1, open from morning to late evening, and describes an Indochine-style setting where Vietnamese meals are shared with rice, family-style. The dishes it names are pineapple fried rice and sweet and salty shrimp.
Prices were quoted at 70,000 to 300,000 dong, a wide range, so ask for the menu and decide how many dishes to share. A family-style meal works well for four to six people because every person tries something.
Both named dishes involve rice and shrimp, so vegetarians should ask whether a vegetarian version of the fried rice is possible. Confirm the opening hours and any set-menu arrangements when you reserve.
