Wow, that's definitely an interesting offer and it shows how much Saigon has changed since I was there last. Everything looks good, but I would have to agree with you in the end...pass the nuoc mam!!! North African foods in Saigon?

Distinctly average but well priced lunches and the place was always full. It has since had a big price increase across the menu meaning its now distinctly average food with pricey lunches - i think its losing some of the appeal - last time we went it wasn't that busy. i used to live in Saigon and on occasion visited Au Parc for lunch.

And the hummus was just plain old hummus. Teddy - You're absolutely right! I'm not quite sure why the expats are wild for this place. A Vietnamese banh mi is a fraction of the price and SO much tastier ;-) Bern - I’m lucky indeed! And the hummus was just plain old hummus.

Anyway, over a fair few visits to Au Parc over the years (my friend down there loves the place), I've definitely found their sangers and salads to often flatter to deceive a wee bit. Reading the menu makes you salivate but the end result just doesn't quite live up to the description. Also a couple of times the breads were a bit stale which is criminal for a gourmet sandwich joint. Those desserts look damn tasty mind. Next time I might stick to coffee and cake after some noodles ;) Oops — that last comment flew prematurely….
