Saigon Social
“The Elliott Stables local doing Vietnamese street food with heart”

Tucked inside the heritage surrounds of Elliott Stables, Saigon Social is a newcomer that has quickly found its groove with the CBD lunch crowd. The menu covers the classics with care: handmade bánh mì with house-made pâté, Saigon buttercream and crisp pickled vegetables, a bún chả done in the Hanoi style, and phở built on a proper slow-simmered broth. Bún bò Huế and braised pepper pork belly add depth beyond the usual greatest hits. The communal, village-like setting makes it an easy, convivial spot to pull up a chair on a lunch break or drop in for an early dinner. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and the 5-star Google reviews suggest the regulars have already made up their minds.
