Established in 1995, Saigon Rose was started by a small Vietnamese family that has run the business through to this day.
Being the first and original Vietnamese restaurant in Chapel Street, we have served our food to many locals and visitors to the area.
Traditional fare such as Pho, Roast Quail and Vietnamese Pancake feature on our menu, along with modern interpretations such as Soft Shell Crab Buns, Caramelised Atlantic Salmon and Crispy Pork Belly with sweet potato fritters, everything freshly made in house by our family chefs.
We are a licensed venue, open Monday to Saturday. We encourage reservations, and also offer a take away & delivery service. BYO for bottled wine is offered Monday - Thursday only.
