This superstylish restaurant-lounge serves a menu of Vietnamese-inspired fusion dishes. It's pricey, but well worth the flutter for the top service and classy wine list. The lunch menu includes classics like com tam ('broken' rice, grilled pork and lightly pickled vegetables) and there are innovative Viet tapas and top-notch cocktails too.
