Le Garcon Chinois (Le Jia Er Song)
Lodged in an old mansion in an alley off Hengshan Lu, the lovely Le Garcon Chinois, re-opened in 2004 after the SARS crisis as a Spanish restaurant, has lately also returned to its Vietnamese roots. Spanish food is served on the first floor, in an elegant environment of dark wood wall paneling, white tablecloths, and low candlelight. Diners speak in hushed whispers, perhaps too engrossed in the tapas plate, the hot roasted gazpacho, or the paella for two. Fresh and light Vietnamese food is proffered on the second floor in equally elegant surroundings. To top it off, there's an intimate bar on the first floor for an after-dinner drink. Let's hope this boy stays around for a while.
