Exceptional cafe?

Reasonable price?

I guessing that a "reasonable" price at an "exceptional" cafe is going to be more money than you want to pay.

Isn't it reasonable for an exceptional business to charge more money than an average business?

Or should the cafe owner subsidize your hunger?

;)

The Hungry Pig offers a passable English breakfast:

The place itself is not particularly comfortable though.

My visiting relatives and expats from Europe praised The Fat Cow (Con Bò Mập) on Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh (Bình Thạnh).

I ended up trying L’Usine on Dường Dong Khoi. I had the whole balcony to myself this morning with a great outlook so was pretty happy. It’s a little tricky to find so you will need to ask someone out front where it is.

I also tried Den Long restaraunt which is small but well worth a look.

If you want the best go to Runam d’or opposite the church in D1.
They make the best Egg Coffee you will ever taste...

impossible, they only serve "asian" bacon and sausages everywhere.

I went there in my hunt for a fry up... dissapointed. They just don't do bacon and sausages like the west.

I like vietnamese bacon better than US bacon.  Less fat.

If it's prepared well, I agree.

I just don't like it boiled...

Snap cafe in D2 is pretty good if you have kids but not purely British. Union Jacks tops my list for British food. I order on Vietnammm.

Obviously! And I bet most places in the west don't do Vietnamese like in the east.
Part of travelling is adapting.

There are few places in Thao Dien that do a decent job, depends on what you expect.

Local to me doesn't understand that baked beans should be served hot
