Chef De Partie

Layla is the creation between passionate food and cocktail lovers who wanted to create an Eatery & Bar unlike elsewhere in Saigon. It’s a place serving all things amazing, yet simple thoughtful rustic sharing dishes and drinks in a comfortable and unfussy atmosphere. We invite you into our home to enjoy and share the hospitality experience that we miss!

One thing you'll get to know about us at Layla, we're obsessed with fresh seasonal ingredients and flavours that will have the senses jumping with joy! We strive at sourcing local seasonal produce with our suppliers, who are paving the way forward for a better tomorrow with sustainable farming practices. We also believe strongly in waste cut backs, and the non-use of plastic products.. On another note, when it comes to sourcing of our cheeky alcohol delights, you'll be pleasantly surprised with our tasty range of liquor from all parts of the globe. We are proud to be a non-smoking bar for all inside areas. Not to worry though, we have a dedicated casual garden for smoking.

You’ll find us hidden away in the heart of District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, located on the second floor of a former colonial apartment overlooking the famous Dong Khoi street. Finding us can be a little tricky for 1st time journey hunters, but not to worry! Our entrance is located on Dong Du, directly across the road from Sheraton Hotel in a narrow stairway entrance, which is brightly lit with a glowing copper Layla sign.

After a few flight of stairs, the discovery will be well worth the adventure! Upon entering Layla, you’ll find our casual billiards table at the ready for a few challenges over delightful concoctions, but you’ll be captivated by our 11 meter long copper bar covered with botanicals, infusion jars, and bartender toys at the ready, whilst the art of mixology drums away right before the senses. You can find many seating options available for smaller groups, to larger gatherings in our “U” shape couching area, or long high community tables perfect for mingling. As mentioned, we are a non-smoking bar inside, so we’ve created an open-window industrial garden overlooking Dong Khoi for smoking, or maybe for the casual kick-back chit chat over drinks.

We openly invite you to enjoy our simple pleasures in life. And as we say, “The Best Sip Is Yet To Come!”
