I love Saigon Allée, it's my favourite Vietnamese restaurant (and that's including ones I've visited in Melbourne, Canada and the US). The service is outstanding, the ambience is beautiful, and the food is innovative, delicious, and very reasonably priced for it's quality. The cocktails are also excellent (I recommend the Saigon By Night!). As always, an A+ experience.

Me any my family had a great time having dinner together last night. We was on our way back to Melbourne from Dimboola while we stopped by Ballarat to find out something to eat. We found out this Vietnamese restaurant in the map. However, the food was surprisedly delicious. We ordered Pho Bo and platter, whilst the Vietnamese coffee is also outstanding. The taste of food is almost the same when we went to similar restaurants in Taiwan. I am sure that this Vietnamese has been managed very well as all staffs in the restaurant are super friendly and prompted. They always put on a smile on their face and helpful.

I found it hard to read the menu on the yellow paper and felt there wasn't enough light to read it. But loved the food and the service.

Gorgeous little Vietnamese restaurant. Was pretty and peaceful. Excellent customer service. The good was delicious and good quality. The only minor negatives were there was a lot of gooey fat in my beef curry and the local Sav Blanc tasted stake, otherwise everything else was 10/10. The curry was outstanding and the spring rolls were great too.
