Bistrot 9

Vung Tau


A chic, casual French bistro-deli with a fine pavement terrace. It's the best place in town for a Western breakfast or brunch (try the pancakes or eggs Benedict). Classics like coq au vin (225,000d) will satisfy your Gallic cravings later. Bread is baked daily on the premises.
