Evening Vintage Vespa street food expedition
2
Details
The darker the night gets, the more vivid Saigon becomes. Riding pillion on a vintage Vespa is the best way to feel the city like the locals do.
Meet up with your driver around 18:30, who will assist you with fitting your helmet, then hop on an authentic vintage Vespa with the drivers’ models dating from the 1960s–1970s.
Your first stop is at a small Vietnamese Banh Mi bakery popular with the locals, before heading to a very special local coffee shop with a fascinating history for a briefing.
Keep on riding to a hidden rustic seafood restaurant and mingle with locals over a glass of beer while enjoying tasty seafood treats. Saigon's seafood restaurants have the most diverse ways of cooking to bring out every delicious flavor, including delicious snail recipes. There are other authentic traditional dishes you can enjoy if you are not a fan of snails and shells.
Continue your ride, zigzagging through the back streets and bustling boulevards including Bui Vien Street, through the brightly lit perfumed flower market to a fascinating old apartment complex that becomes extremely lively at night with hundreds of food and drinks stalls.
Take a break at a 3-generation dessert shop to try different hand-made sweet soups from lotus seeds and seasonal fruits. End your night at a cozy speakeasy tucked away in a quiet alleyway to relax over a cocktail and unwind with the locals.
Return to your hotel around 22:30 and bid farewell to your friendly Vespa driver.
