2025 District 2 Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Address: Mori Coffee, 85 Đ. Thảo Điền, Thảo Điền, Quận 2, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh 700000, Vietnam Price: 💰💰💰 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A cute coffee place in District 2! We were greeted by a cute chubby gray cat, which definitely was the reason why we entered the place. The cafe looks straight out of a Japanese Anime, wooden cosy interior. It was quiet and peaceful, a perfect place to read or just chill after a long night out. The vibe was definitely 10/10! They have boardgames and card games you can take to play, although they're in Vietnamese. We ordered a Egg Coffee for 105K VND 5/10. It was thick and flavourful, but not quite something I would enjoy. The portion was also very small considering the steep price. I believe the other drinks on the menu would have been a better choice, but I felt adventurous that day! I think this is a great place to visit if you need some down time. The menu were limited and expensive, but you're definitely paying for the vibe. The staffs are also very friendly so it made the experience worthwhile! #valentinescape

Address: THE BRIX - Eatery & Bar Lounge, 26 Đ. Trần Ngọc Diện, Thảo Điền, Quận 2, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam Price: 💰💰💰💰 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ THE BRIX restaurant and bar lounge offers a little piece of paradise. A restaurant, bar, and swimming pool are all included in this tiny outdoor oasis, which is surrounded by a sizeable tropical garden. I saw this featured on Tiktok and had to visit it for a special occasion. The Vibe was amazing at night, other than the loud and drunk guest sitting beside us, it was 10/10. It was a lovely cold night too for an alfresco dinning. The food on the other hand was questionable. We were served some baked bread and butter. Nothing fancy 7/10. We ordered:- 1. Red Sangria for 100K VND - 10/10 very beautiful and tasty. 2. Fresh coconut for 90K VND - 10/10 sweet and refreshing 3. Fresh oyster for 190K VND - 10/10 It came with a couple of dipping sauce 4. Crab and avocado napolen for 180K VND - 8/10 portion was very small but the flavours were well balanced between sweet and tangy. 5. Grilled octopus for 340K VND - 6/10 Overcooked and lack of texture and flavours. Octopus was rubbery unfortunately. 6. Creamy seafood pasta for 320K VND - 4/10 Overcooked pasta. It was soggy, lack of texture and depth of flavours. Overall, you're definitely paying for the vibe. The sides and drinks were great but I would skip the main. I see a lot of people going there for drinks, dessert and photos - so I guess it's just another overly hyped place. But nonetheless the vibe and friendly colleague made the experience bearable.

#earthdayjourney A rare glimpse of Hanoi in the heart of District 2 The last time the company invited me to a party here, I really liked the Hanoi mood of this restaurant so this time I came back with some friends. Take a few photos to review a cool place for everyone ❤️ A true Westerner who is addicted to Northern food. I like restaurants that invest in space like this even more, both airy and beautiful. From tables and chairs to window frames, every little corner of the place has a strong Hanoi feel, looking extremely luxurious and vintage. There are many ceramic display areas, those who are addicted to collecting these items will be a bit overwhelmed. Except that all the items are unique: bowls, cups, glasses, glasses, I want to take them all home, really, eating is secondary but spending money on these three items is the main thing huhuhu The Hanoi dishes here are extremely diverse, the food also looks very well-prepared. I ordered crab hotpot with beef ribs, fried dumplings, Hanoi fish noodles, and a must-try dish is boiled apple snails and stuffed snails. The price ranges from 59k-200k, the food suits my taste, looking at the clean table with no missing dishes, I understand 😄 Most of the dishes have a light taste, well-seasoned, and are of high quality. The most addictive is the apple snails with ginger and lemongrass fish sauce, it's so delicious, 4 people can eat this much, it's quite okay. In addition to food, this place also often organizes afternoon tea on weekends with many interesting Hanoi-style activities. In a few days, they will also sell Hanoi experience sets, similar to fine dining restaurants.

#earthdayjourney La Villa 14 Ngo Quang Huy District 2 The other day I saw a very interesting review so I looked for someone to go eat with. Finally found 2 friends to go eat with. I'm not good at English, the other two are clueless, so after looking at the menu, I understood many dishes on this menu so I chose it for safety. I tried another menu but was afraid it wouldn't suit the other two, so in the end they only chose the same lunch menu 🥹🥹🥹 This is a small villa style, lightly decorated, quiet space suitable for enjoying food. The staff is gentle and attentive, changing the forks and spoons regularly, each dish is introduced to me so I can understand. The dishes are as shown in the picture and I noted each dish for easy visualization. Thank you in advance for the review and I'm looking forward to a place like this to experience. The feeling of satisfaction after eating is something I haven't felt for a long time. #District_2

#earthdayjourney #saigondining_monTay La Fontaine - a bistro restaurant that is very familiar in District 2. Every time I go to eat, I still have to admire! First of all, I have to praise that the restaurant has a car parking area for customers, completely free, just driving in and I am satisfied with the thoughtfulness. Today I ordered dishes that are more unique than usual, and I was not disappointed, the dishes are unfamiliar but still very delicious! The restaurant serves bread and "thạch sanh" fries, which can be refilled after eating. Although attractive, it accidentally makes diners full and not have room to enjoy the main dish! So much so that I had to ask the staff to take it away. However, when I turned around, another person saw that my table was empty and filled it up again 😅😅😅😅 In short, this is still a very delicious place, you should come here for a weekend experience! La Fontaine- 170 Nguyen Van Huong, District 2

#earthdayjourney -I can't believe that in places like District 2 & District 3, you can find a bowl of quality beef pho using all hot beef for only... 35k. -As for the taste, I don't need to review much because the Chef's name has already said a lot about the quality. -I heard that there is a delicious beef hotpot in the evening but the price is also devastating at only 150k/portion. I will definitely try it next time!! 📍 Pho Viet Nam by Vo Quoc • Branch 1: 18 Tran Ngoc Dien, Thao Dien Ward, District 2 • Branch 2: 72/1 Tran Quoc Toan, Vo Thi Sau Ward, District 3 (opening in early March)

#earthdayjourney Temporarily leaving behind the hustle and bustle of Saigon, coming to the shop, you will feel like you are returning to an extremely peaceful, fresh countryside with a Da Lat vibe. The shop is mostly a garden view surrounded by airy and fresh green trees. I find the view quite wide, walking around taking pictures makes my legs tired. 🌱 𝐌𝐚̂̀𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞 📍28 Thao Dien, Thao Dien ward, District 2 🕗7:00 - 18:00 💰About 25 - 60 cents (parking 5 cents)

Savor the food at Philippines BBQ & Drinks in District 2. 🤗🤤🍽️ They're open daily from 10 am to 2 pm (except Sunday) and resume at 5 pm til 10 pm.

After COVID I took it upon myself to travel to South East Asia as being stuck at home completely sucked. Being stuck at home made me realize how much I actually wanted to start traveling. Vietnam has been my first destination after the pandemic! Where to next?
