Baby Mustard
Description
Baby Mustard sits out by the vegetable farms on the edge of town, which is exactly why the food tastes the way it does. Herbs come from nearby, everything is cooked to order, and the banh xeo and papaya salad with smoky chicken are the kind of dishes that make you rethink every meal you’ve had in the old town.
The space is open and breezy with garden views, a genuine relief after the crowded riverside restaurants. Expect a 15-minute wait for food (tour groups pre-order to skip this, which tells you everything about how popular it’s become).
Bring a bike, come hungry, and order the grilled fish in banana leaves with lemongrass while you’re at it.
