In Ho Chi Mihn, Augustin's fine French cuisine
"We recently returned from a trip to Vietnam, which still has some excellent French restaurants. The most outstanding is Augustin Restaurant in downtown Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). A dinner for five (appetizers, main course and chocolate soufflés) ran $50."
Augustin Restaurant, 10 Nguyen Thiep St., Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; 011-84-829-2941, e-mail nyuyenvanphung@hcm.vnn.vn. Dinner about $10.
