Weekend Trip In Saigon - Enjoy French-style dishes at Chez Gilbert SaiGon

Today, my family had the opportunity to visit Chez Gilbert Saigon for dinner. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, the warm atmosphere of a French bistro was evident: soft lighting, soft French background music and simple but sophisticated decoration, very suitable for a family meal that is both intimate and formal.

Starting with a charcuterie & pâté platter to share, the dishes were served with a selection of cold cuts, smooth pâté and some homemade pickles. The texture and flavor were harmonious; the thin slices of prosciutto had a salty taste that balanced the light sourness of the pickles, the pâté brought a very pleasant fatty aftertaste. This was an ideal dish to start with and try the wines on the menu.

The main dish the family ordered was pan-seared salmon prepared with the correct Maillard technique: the skin was golden brown and crispy while the meat remained moist and soft, accompanied by a beurre blanc sauce with a mild acidity that helped to moderate the fat. Another steak sandwich that satisfies the whole family: medium-rare grilled meat, reduction sauce creates depth of umami, crispy baguette keeps the texture when bitten. Homemade fried potatoes are a side dish that the kids in the family love.

The duck confit is the final highlight of the main meal: the duck meat is tender, the skin is soaked in fat but not too heavy, eaten with smooth mashed potatoes that are a perfect combination of textures. The accompanying salad has a bright vinaigrette to balance the taste.

The service is an important part of the experience: friendly staff, knowledgeable about the menu, giving reasonable pairing suggestions and always proactively refilling water, checking the family's needs. The speed of serving dishes is reasonable, not rushed, making the meal more relaxing.

The price is reasonable compared to the quality of ingredients and preparation. The space is clean, suitable for family occasions, small memories or dinners wanting to find French flavors in the heart of Saigon.

Conclusion: Chez Gilbert Saigon offers the complete family experience—well-prepared food, balanced flavors, professional service, and a cozy atmosphere. If you want a relaxing family dinner with culinary depth, this is the place to go.
