Les Nuits de Saigon - Cap-d'Ail

When you are Filipino like me, or Asian in general, and is abroad...you are likely to crave for rice during your 3rd day of stay and me and my friends found this homey family Vietnamese resto near our Marriott Riviera Hotel in Montecarlo, Monaco. The...Pho beef soup was average but the fried spring rolls were crisp and tasty .The duck with sauce were sliced thinly well and delicious. The waitress was very accomodating and charming and food service was quick.

Very nice people and the food was very good. I’m definitely spoiled by the Vietnamese food in Los Angeles,,, so understand that if you think I’m being too critical. The prices were reasonable but the portions were small. The Cantonese fried rice needed something more........suck a small portion again.... The fried Vietnamese spring rolls were small and the only vegetable to wrap them up in was the lettuce and basil.... again I am used to getting a huge plate of veggies at Golden Deli or Vietnam House in Alhambra. Still, If you are aching for some Vietnamese food in this part of the world, this is a good choice.

We were craving for some Pho, so we looked for a Vietnamese restaurant in Monaco. This should have been it, but we dare to disagree. It is more like an Asian fusion kind of restaurant. Some Chinese, some Vietnamese and some Thai dishes are on...the menu. And don’t get me wrong, the quality is good. Not great, but good. Same goes for the service. Not great, just fine, as you can expect from Asian cuisine. On the other hand, prices are quite low, so very acceptable. If you’re not looking to spend a fortune (which happens when in Monaco) and just want a decent plate without having a long conversation over some wine, this place is worth it. If you are looking for tradional Vietnamese dishes, look further.

Stayed at the Marriot (read my revue to see what I thought of the restaurant there) and fortunately was told of this restaurant. Good flavoursome food, welcoming atmosphere, good service and a superb view over the harbour. Wholeheartedly recommend it.

The service was great with very friendly staff. the food was delicious with large portions. the restaurant overlooked the harbour with floor covering windows to the view in. highly recommended.
