Baguette and Chocolat

Frommer's Review

The folks from Hoa Sua, a popular restaurant designed as a training center for disadvantaged youth, have done an excellent job with this cozy café. Open sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and omelets top a fine menu heavy on good French cuisine. Seating is in a cool "no shoe" area with rattan couches and white pillows (be sure to tidy-up if coming from a day in the hills) or you can sit outside. Elegant presentations are made on large white platters. But what really attracts folks to this little cafe are the pastries and good strong coffee; you won't find espresso and cappuccino like this elsewhere in town. They serve good, inexpensive breakfasts: a pastry and coffee will only set you back 28,000 VND ($1.85/£1.05) and a full American breakfast costs 45,000 VND ($3/£1.65). The friendly folks at Baguette and Chocolat can also arrange picnic lunches that you can take while trekking, even for large groups if you contact them in advance.
