Cuc Gach Quan Restaurant

The 31 Best Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam | Eater

"For great traditional family-style Vietnamese food in a beautiful setting, look no further than mainstay Cục Gạch Quán. Opened by architect Trần Bình in a French Colonial house with vintage tiles and crafted antique furniture, it was dubbed the “architect’s house” by the HCMC creative community who frequented it in its early days. In 2011, it gained notoriety when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt dined there, and it has since become a staple for locals and visitors. Throwback Saigonese music plays from a reel-to-reel as diners tuck into items like braised pork belly in coconut water, stir-fried garlic zucchini flower, fried egg and tofu with lemongrass and chile, pomelo salad, and tamarind sour soup." - Linh Phan
