{Saigon Snacks} Blu Bar & Grill, Riverside

Mackenzie at the Blu Bar & Grill, Riverside
For Team Somerville, Sundays in Saigon have fallen into a regular pattern. Sunday morning swim school with Mr. Tony at the AIS pool followed by lunch at the Snap Cafe.

Today we decided to mix it up a little with a new lunch venue. Not as exciting for the girls (because it's hard to beat Snap with its massive outdoor jungle gym and sand pit) but good for us parents who need variety once in a while!

Today we had lunch at the Blu Bar & Grill, a cafe cum restaurant within the Riverside compound in District 2.

They serve a brunch menu from 11am to 4pm, mostly international dishes such as eggs benedict and breakfast burritos, and some with an Asian twist such as a vegetable ommlette  with chilli soy sauce and steamed rice. Good food and friendly staff.

A great outdoor/indoor venue on the Saigon river (with overhead fans to keep diners cool) and a playground within the compound for the kids once they get bored with eating.

Most of the dishes are under US$10, but best of all there's a complimentary salad bar.

Riverside is next to our compound (Villa Riviera) on the river. Would be great if the management of both compounds could come to an agreement about extending the river boardwalk so we can dine here on a regular basis!
