Restaurant 69

Frommer's Review

The number is just the address on busy little Ma May Street, right in the heart of the Old Quarter tourist area. Set in an old converted traditional shop house, Restaurant 69 is worth it if only for the atmosphere. Go for a table on the second-floor balcony if you can. There's a novella of a menu with lots of local specials, anything from pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) and bun bo Hue (a dish of rice vermicelli and beef popular in the town of Hue in central Vietnam) to good stir-fries and seafood hot pots. The clay-pot dishes are popular, too. Soups, salads, and sandwiches pretty much cover all the bases, and the friendly staff makes this a welcome place to beat the heat (or get warm) and have a snack while touring the Old Quarter.
