Le Café des Stagiaires - Saigon

### ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely wonderful experience hosting our event at **Le Café des Stagiaires**. From the very beginning, the entire team was **warm, welcoming, flexible and incredibly accommodating**. The space itself is fantastic — relaxed, beautiful and, most importantly, **so inclusive and welcoming to everyone**. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate every little need and were always ready to help with a smile. Their flexibility and amazing service made organising and running our event so much easier. A special shout-out for even arranging **Indian masala chai at the bar**, despite it not being on their regular menu! ☕️❤️ It was such a thoughtful touch and really made our Indian Festive Bazaar feel at home. Thank you to the entire team and the organisers for helping make our event such a memorable success. We truly appreciated the warmth, professionalism and care you put into everything. **Highly recommended for events, gatherings or simply a great time in a lovely, welcoming space!** ✨❤️

Portions are small, quite expensive for the price. Gnocci were good, very cheesy. Pissaladière was not really it, especially as a French person. Pissaladière is all about generosity in South of France it is served in big square slices, i got a little plate that was half the size of a regular pizza. Falafel, i don't recommend either, quite bad actually and portions super small as well. A Lebanese person would probably go crazy if they tried it. Anyway, it is a good spot to have a drink and enjoy the view. I recommend eating somewhere else, there is various options around.

Le Cafestagiares is a really nice spot to enjoy the Saigon River view. The space is beautiful, open, and has a relaxing atmosphere, especially in the evening. I also really enjoyed the music and DJ sets here. The music fits the vibe of the place perfectly and makes the whole experience feel more lively without being too overwhelming. Definitely a great place to enjoy the view, good music, and the atmosphere of Saigon.

Food was good, but at 300k+ a sandwich, and over 1 tr for a simple bistro-style dinner for two (with no drinks), it pretty damn well should be. That's 10x the price at the stall just downstairs. I'm not unhappy to pay, but executing a decent sandwich at 10x street price isn't much of a feat. The cigarette smoke. The cigarette smoke was awful, and everywhere on the rooftop. We were at a table with two heavily smoking couples, with another heavily smoking couple just to our right, and another just in front. As a bonus, the DJ had a lit cigarette dangling from her mouth to show how transgressive she is. Gross. Yes, Parisian terrace culture and all that. Tell it to the oncologist.For our 1 tr expenditure we got allergies, clothes right to the laundry, feeling sick, and knowing we'd just gained a few points of cancer risk. Merci pour tout! I ordered water three times over the course of an hour. It never came. Fourth time was a charm. Stagiaires indeed. Magnifique. And the crowd? Didier and Sylvie from Perreux-sur-Marne visiting their son (of course, Kevin) and screaming out "em oi!!!" at the waitstaff every three seconds like it's a colonial Courtepaille. Kevin claims to work for Ogilvy, sells molly, and his girlfriend Vy goes by Vivian and knows the owner, just universally in Thao Dien knows the owner -- but now I'm just being petty. BTW, everybody in this cast smokes. Interesting lofi electronica concert on the middle floor much appreciated. Maybe a little too avant garde for me but mon dieu at least it wasn't "acoustic" with Bruno Mars covers, so that's a win. I'm not the target market here, and I dislike rooftop bars and Thao Dien prima facie, so I'm no impartial judge -- but I'll never stop calling this place Les Glandeurs.

Le Café des Stagiaires is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset or spend a relaxing evening with friends. The first floor has a lively bar atmosphere, while the rooftop offers an open-air bar café with a beautiful panoramic view of Landmark 81. The wine here is surprisingly good, and the overall ambiance feels both vibrant and comfortable at the same time. The music by the DJ is well chosen — not too loud, just enough to create a great mood while still allowing everyone to talk and enjoy the moment. A wonderful spot to unwind, enjoy the city lights, and simply have a really good evening.
