I’m yet to meet a person who said they do not like Le Café des Stagiaires, because truthfully there is nothing not to like, they have something for everyone! A diverse and delicious food menu, a rooftop with unparalleled views of Landmark 81 and the Saigon River, weekly events and most importantly BOOZE! Pick your poison, they have everything! Cocktails, wines, beers the lot. On the first floor (through the secret fridge) you will find their Pétanque floor, where you can battle it out with your pals with a few Aperol Spritz’s, the middle floor is where they host some of their late-night parties with great DJ’s with a huge bar and dancefloor, and my personal favourite, the rooftop. Make sure to get there around 5 pm to catch the sunset.
