Le Corto Restaurant

About this activity

Le Corto Saigon is a refined French dining destination inspired by the legendary cartoon sailor Corto—an intelligent free spirit with a kind heart and a passion for travel, friendship, and discovery. The restaurant’s name and identity reflect this adventurous spirit, creating a welcoming space where classic French elegance meets a modern Saigon vibe.

Founded in 2016 by French-Cambodian chef Sakal Phoeung, Le Corto offers a truly exceptional gastronomic experience shaped by over 25 years of Michelin-starred expertise in France. As a proud member of “Maîtres Cuisiniers de France,” Chef Sakal brings precision, artistry, and authenticity to every plate, inviting diners to explore French culinary excellence at its finest.

Le Corto’s menu beautifully blends French culinary finesse with premium local ingredients, combining tradition with contemporary creativity. Signature highlights include the Dry-aged Duck Breast served with carrot and celeriac purées, black garlic, and orange sauce; the indulgent Pan-fried Foie Gras paired with mango and red wine sauce; the fresh and vibrant Blue Crab featuring Cà Mau crab, avocado, oyster, and Bloody Mary sorbet; and the unforgettable dessert Corto’s Cigar, crafted with Quảng Nam dark rum mousse and Đắk Lắk coffee ice cream.

The experience is brought to life by a passionate team: Executive Chef Sakal Phoeung, Chef de Cuisine Khoa Huynh—a talent shaped by 12 years of experience and Paris training—and General Manager Mickael Carval, ensuring every guest receives impeccable service. With its elegant ambiance and thoughtful details, Le Corto is the perfect choice for those seeking a sophisticated French dining journey in the heart of Saigon.
