Fodor's Expert Review Monsoon Restaurant and Bar Saigon

Take a culinary tour of Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia within the confines of this stylish-yet-relaxed restaurant that offers authentic traditional dishes from all five Southeast Asian countries. The interior is part industrial chic, part Asian resort, and often used as a backdrop for art exhibitions. The menu is as beautiful as the surroundings, the staff is attentive, the food is delicious, and there's a kid's play area in the upstairs section. Call ahead to reserve the best seat in the house, a four-poster bed with sheer curtains (but be warned, it only seats four, sitting cross-legged around a small table).
