Hidden away in a historic Saigon building is a new cafe dining experience for expats and Vietnamese alike.
Elsol Cafe is the creation of a Japanese living in Vietnam who loves old buildings, art, music and food – and sought to combine all into one alluring destination.
And he succeeded. As the photos show, a visit to Elsol Cafe is like a visit into a private home, with all the seclusion, ambiance, art, calm and architecture to make you feel a welcome guest.
The menu features a unique mix of tastes from around the world: In the mornings, the specialty is Italian style coffee. Lunch sets feature popular Japanese fare and vegetarian salads. In the evening you can choose between Italian, French, Spanish, Japanese and Vietnamese favourites, accompanied by imaginative cocktails, wines or beer.
Coffee is always centre stage at Elsol Cafe, where almost every gourmand’s taste is catered to: Here only the best of Vietnamese organic coffee beans are used, custom roasted and ground before brewed in Syphon, Aeropress, Hario V60, Cold Brewed or Nel Drip techniques, – or if you prefer, in traditional, handmade Japanese style.
Fresh smoothies are prepared using fruits and vegetables from specialist, quality produce suppliers and without sugar.
Elsol Cafe is located on the second floor at 4 Nguyen Sieu in District 1. It might be difficult to find, but once there, you’ll discover an ideal place for a romantic time, a business meeting or just somewhere to chill with friends or family.
