The Nest Restaurant | Vietnamese Dining on the 12th Floor

Places to eat

The Nest is the restaurant on the 12th floor of The Myst Dong Khoi. Its name refers to the nest of the swallow, the bird that heralds spring, and the room is modelled on a traditional Vietnamese family home: red roof tiles, natural stone floors, wrought-iron flower frames at the windows and a nine-metre wooden flower boat that serves as the buffet counter, a nod to the old Bình Đông flower wharf at Tết. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the city and the Saigon River.

The kitchen cooks Vietnamese regional dishes with local ingredients and a modern hand. Phở becomes beef tataki and cơm tấm is made with Iberico pork.
