Nice atmosphere
A friend and I shot in here late on a weekday afternoon to get out of an impending rain storm.

This is a big garden place with tarpaulin cover roof that is open or closed according to weather. Gas bottles sit under all tables, for meals to be cooked as you go. Normally I can't stand this kind of eating, as I like to go to restaurants to have meals that have been prepared for me; not to have to play with my own food and try to eat and talk and drink beer. But never mind, it was only 3pm, and we simply ate snacks.

I had a plate of chips - which were real chips, very well made and served hot; a plate of cheese rolls; 2 Tigers. My fried nibbled while drinking a carrot juice. The rain poured down.

As it stopped and we left, the staff were gearing up lamps and things ready for the night trade. It looked like a nice venue for an evening out. Except for my misgivings about having to play table chef.    [22 Sep 2007 23:29:16]

Barbecue fan
My friend and I were in the photoshop to print some pictures and discovered the restaurant.
The out-door atmosphere, the French music (I'm not French) attracted me, but for me the best is the food. I ordered a combo including beef, fish, shrimp, squid, and grilled them on a "barbecue plate". My fiend played again with beef with honey, and deer with five spices. Really delicious!
Red lamps had been turned on. We ordered 2 Vietnamese coffee as we still had one hour more before going to our Vietnamese class in evening.    [05 Nov 2007 22:33:54]

Barbecue man
I work in the center of Dist 1, Ho Chi Minh City where I can have lunch or dinner at each different restaurant everyday in one year, but have barbecue dish just downtown and go straight to Barbecue Garden Restaurant which I prefer to call Quan Nuong.
The barbecue atmosphere, the barbecue dishes there keep me come so often that my friend call me the Barbecue man!    [05 Nov 2007 23:24:27]
