Tomatito

Ho Chi Minh City


Just steps from Ben Thanh Market, Tomatito bills itself as a 'sexy tapas bar'. The interior is one big brightly-lit room done up in a retro-Spanish vibe, while the extensive tapas menu features seafood and BBQ meats, rice and snacks. The seafood paella is a standout. Flavours are authentic and dishes beautifully plated for easy sharing.

Check the website for regular specials, including a popular all-you-can-eat paella Sunday brunch accompanied by live music and excellent weekday lunch sets.
