La Verticale
This signature French-Vietnamese fusion restaurant by Brittany-born chef Didier Corlou confirmed his reputation as a culinary heavyweight in his adopted home. Located in a narrow 1930s villa that gives the restaurant its name, in the heart of the city’s commercial district, La Verticale combines the best of French gastronomy with the ingredients and flavours of Vietnamese cooking. There’s also a ground-floor shop selling hard-to-find local spices such as talauma seed, which Corlou himself likes to use with foie gras and veal sweetbreads.
