What to eat on a Saigon food tour
Saigon’s street food is southern Vietnamese: sweeter, herb-heavy and eaten on low plastic stools from breakfast to after midnight. These dishes come up most on our routes.
- Cơm tấm: broken rice with grilled pork chop, Saigon’s favourite plate
- Bánh mì: the Saigon baguette, stuffed to order
- Bún thịt nướng: grilled pork over rice noodles and fresh herbs
- Bánh xèo: a crisp turmeric pancake you wrap in greens
- Banana sticky rice cake: a sweet, chewy street snack
- Old-style Saigon coffee: strong and slow, often over ice
- Chè: sweet dessert soups with beans, jelly and coconut
When is the best time for a Saigon food tour?
Evening. Saigon eats best after sunset, when the heat drops and the plastic stools come out, so most of our Saigon tours start at night.
Choose Saigon by Day if you prefer early nights: it visits daytime stalls and a local market. In the rainy season, roughly May to November, riders carry ponchos and guides can change the order of stops to wait out a shower.
