The Green Tangerine

Frommer's Review

In a lovingly restored 1928 colonial in the center of the Old Quarter, the Green Tangerine offers a menu of rich, delicious French fare. The small courtyard area is great for an afternoon drink just a few steps off of busy Hang Be, and the air-conditioned dining room is a sanctuary for a luxurious meal. It's very popular with expats, and that makes for a constantly evolving menu to keep up with the many repeat customers. I started with a delicious mille-feuille of scallops cooked in white wine and garnished with Parmesan and eggplant. For my main course, I tried savory lasagna made of wide noodles stuffed with a pâté of crab and broccoli cooked in cognac and layered with spicy mashed carrot: very original. The rack of lamb served in coffee is unique and the set menus are popular.
