There’s an age-old saying known for those who are in Saigon and not sure where to eat: “Eat in District 5. Stay in District 3. Have fun in District 1” (
“Ăn quận 5. Nằm quận 3. Xa hoa Quận Nhứt”). This saying basically means that District 5 is the best place for food, District 3 has beautiful streets and villas people wouldn’t mind living next to, while District 1 offers a labyrinth of top-class entertainment.
