Shri Lifestyle Dining

Shri Restaurant & Bar was a perennial favorite Saigon sky-bar-meets-restaurant, with stunning views down Hai Ba Trung from the terrace, dining inside, and a fun speakeasy in the back. It felt disjointed, but that was the point of the multi-purpose venue. Now, reimagined as Shri Lifestyle & Dining (Level 23, CENTEC Tower, 72-74 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai), Shri feels one again: a artily-framed doorway leads into a sleek dining room, which precedes a sofa strewn terrace. The cocktails feels part of the new found cohesion too – a spiced-rum based, Earl Grey-Rosemary Cordial infused Saigon By Night, or a sundown spritz-style Shri Sunset and a Heart Of Darkness, with rum, tamarind and tabasco. And the European-centric food menu offers Grilled Oysters with Apple Sauce, Pan-fried Foie Gras, King Prawn with Squid Ink Pasta, and lots of meaty mains like the Pan-Fried Ribeye with Honey Mustard Sauce, all so artfully presented, they might distract you from the views…for a moment at least.
