Hoa Tuc

Hoa Tuc - "Poppy" - came from the owners’ desire to explore new avenues in Vietnamese cooking. Food in Vietnam has been stuck in a stiff “mold” with every chef in the country churning out the same food over and over, year after year. We hired a highly qualified chef and spent a year testing new recipes, assembling Vietnamese ingredients in a fresh new way. Staying clear from “fusion”, we established a menu to wow the senses and gave Saigon its first Contemporary Vietnamese Cuisine restaurant in August 2008. Making great use of a historical location, Saigon’s old opium refinery, Hoa Tuc was build, designed and furnished locally with custom made wrought iron furniture, cast iron lamps and pergolas. It boats a beautiful indoor seating area with original columns, a front terrace witha Paris Metro inspired roof and a secluded al fresco dining section to its side with creepers and greenery all around.
