Vietnam House Art Gallery & Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

I love this quirky wee place. Had lunch with my son here today. We both had pho, which was delicious. The drip coffee was strong and sweet and the owner is so warm and welcoming. We’ll be back soon to try the banh mi. If you’re around haymarket, please don’t be put off by the roadworks as you can’t hear them from inside the cafe.

Late Lunch running between jobs, but the soup was really tasty and satisfying, very friendly reception, lovely place, would recommend. I hate to see these local businesses suffering with the road works, they need all the help they can get.

What a fantastic surprise to arrive at Haymarket Station after a long journey from Shetland to discover this beautiful Art Café. Surrounded by magnificent art we enjoyed the best spring rolls and noodle soups. The lady of the house brings joy and pure happiness. Thankful for this great experience.

Absolutely loved our evening on Sunday, the food was amazing and so tasty we didn’t want it to end. Can’t wait to go back again. Thank you to everyone involved, such a lovely team. A little gem of a place

Moved to the area and this has quickly become a favourite lunch spot. Can't recommend the chicken noodles highly enough (followed by a drip coffee) and am always made to feel welcome either individually or in a group. Love it!!

I visited the cafe whilst on a business trip and I am already planning to go back! I had the shrimp pho which was was like a warm hug in a bowl. Great portion size and lots of prawns. The Vietnamese drip coffee with sweetened milk was something I’d read about but not tasted before - oh my goodness, it was delicious! The owner and server were lovely and friendly. They advised I try the summer rolls next time which I plan on doing! I also picked up a slice of carrot cake and a brownie to go as they just looked irresistible! A real joy to visit and I can’t wait to go back!

This soup cures any nasal cold, or any throat cough. This soup must have been distilled from the gods themselves. This soup is the best soup I have ever had. Shreds of chicken breast steeped in a broth, sitting in a blanket of noodles, sprinkled with spring onion and chives. Perfection

It was my second time visit. The food was still authentic Vietnamese food. The flavour was amazing. The service was really good. I will definitely go back for more delicious Vietnamese food.

Just like it says, really nice authentic Vietnamese food. Well worth a visit if you need a quick bite in Haymarket.

Greeted and seated by a friendly waitress. Ordered fresh summer rolls, home made beef pho and a viet ice coffee. Exactly what we needed after a 4 hour drive. Lovely and scenic inside. Highly recommend this place for food

Ordered a bowl of pho with chicken for my lunch. Portion was very generous and food was amazing. Fragrant and beautiful combination of flavours. Enjoyed right to the last mouthful. Staff very welcoming. Enjoyed looking at the original paintings. Felt very relaxed here and would definitely recommend.

We came here for lunch and shared a bowl of pho between us which was plenty for a light lunch. We would have also had some summer rolls but they only had tofu ones left, instead we had some ice cream after our pho, coconut ice cream and honeydew ice cream. Delicious on a hot day! For drinks we had drip coffee and lotus tea. The drip coffee was lovely and the lotus tea was ok, I'm a bit of a tea aficionado so I actually have some lotus tea at home (bought from a teahouse in Korea), my tea at home contains on the leaves but this tea also contained the stems so it was bit more fragrant, I find lotus tea to taste like marshmallows haha, the downside to the tea was it over brewed really quickly so I could only drink 1 of 2 cups which is a shame as lotus tea has many health benefits. The beef pho was phenomenal, you could taste it before even putting it in your mouth, that's how fragrant and delicious the broth was! Really nice to try real authentic pho as previously I've only had instant pho (even instant pho served to me from a restaurant) so knowing how disappointing that is I wanted to try the real thing! Really delicious, I even drank most of the broth haha. For sure we will be back on our next trip to Edinburgh!

This is a magnificent place. The pho is so delicious and the service is excellent. It's a cafe really but the food is really remarkable.

Great lunch across from Haymarket tram stop. Very friendly staff and delicious food! Reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

I had ordered beef pho (noodle soup) and Vietnamese spring rolls for lunch. I have had pho in Vietnam itself and was ok with it, but this one I had here in this cafe was so delicious! I loved the spring rolls too. The cafe itself was decorated with beautiful artworks (which were for sale) and most of all - very friendly and welcoming staff. Made a mental note to have to go back again before I leave Edinburgh!

Stopped by for coffee, ended up having banh mi (with pork) and was delicious as - good as we had when my wife and I were in Vietnam. Lovely service - would definitely return!

A delicious warming meal with a great atmosphere and staff. We had the beef pho and bahn mi, both were insanely tasty and full of meat! Thankyou for an amazing lunch ❣️

Stopped by this Lovely, friendly place for some lunch. Chicken and beef pho was amazing. Would recommend trying the Vietnamese coffee too!

Excellent food service and price . We had a lovely party for my friend and the restaurant brought out a cake at the end.

Stopped here for coffee and a stem ginger flapjack - both delicious, in a friendly setting with Vietnamese art works and crafts on display. Knocks the socks off Costa and the like.

So good to have Vietnamese food in Edinburgh!! I ordered the pho which was herby, fragrant and delicious. The portion size was huge! Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will be back :-)

這家餐廳位於Haymarket車站對面，外觀毫不起眼，以為是一間藝廊，門口貼著菜單。推門內進，店員很熱情的招呼，才知道這是越南餐廳。我點了牛肉粉 Beef Pho，它的做法跟其他餐廳的不同，店員介紹這是他們越南某個地方的做法，很特別。牛肉湯很鮮味，很清甜，粿粉也不會黏成一團，而牛肉是一塊一塊的，不像其他越南餐廳那樣一片一片的。吃了幾口原汁原味的牛肉湯後，我加了一點辣醬，然後很快把整碗粉吃完了，連牛肉湯都喝得一滴不剩。不是誇張，這是我在英國吃過最好吃、最有特色的越南餐廳。

Es una pequeña joya asiática este pequeño resto de arte. Estilo artístico y buena cocina. Nos encantaron los fideos y las sopas, así como el servicio impecable. Muy recomendable. Solo una vez no es suficiente. Pinturas en las paredes son imprescindibles deco. Algunos de ellos están a la venta. El hermano gemelo que resta unos pasos al lado también es excelente.

Went back after my first visit to try a Vietnamese drip coffee, and a piece of their flapjack. Oh my... Coffee: fabulously rich & sweet! Flapjack: fabulously sweet & sticky! Honesty, you need to try them!! :)

Tenía prisa por conseguir mi tren y el personal no pudo ayudarme lo suficiente como para ordenar mi pedido de manera oportuna. Su Chicken Pho es el mejor que he probado y he comido este plato innumerables veces en todo el Reino Unido, ya que viajo mucho por trabajo. Fue tan bueno que en realidad llamé para agradecerles y felicitarlos, ya que en estos días la gente se queja demasiado rápido, pero no dan los buenos comentarios cuando se merece.Gracias por su hospitalidad y su increíble comida. Vietnam House Gallery Caf, Bien hecho. ¡Visitaré la próxima vez que esté en el área al 100%!AtentamenteValle

Después de buscar un tipo diferente de almuerzo, nos topamos con este lugar en línea. Siendo fanáticos de Pho, pensamos que lo intentamos sin esperar encontrar un plato tan hermoso. Optamos por Chicken Pho y no solo era atractivo a la vista, sino que también era muy sabroso, muy caliente y fresco. El caldo en sí era casi transparente pero estaba lleno de sabor, contenía enormes trozos de pechuga de pollo y el cuenco también estaba lleno de fideos frescos, cilantro y cebolletas.

The Vietnam House Cafe is as far from a "chain" coffee shop/cafe as you are ever going to get. The owner is a wonderfully friendly woman who's enthusiasm is contagious.

I regularly go to this cafe for their fresh spring rolls. They're huge, super tasty, & I get a can of juice thrown into the lunch time deal. #Result

I don't know the Vietnamese cuisine very well, but was pleasantly surprised by the food I had in this little café / gallery.

Extortionate prices even with the midweek “lunch special”, which the unfriendly staff member refused to apply due to being minutes out, even when they were quiet(probably because there are much better reasonably prices eateries in the area). Terrible overpriced coffee too

Lovely place, there are paintings and other artworks from Vietnam displayed. The food is amazing, I have visited this place twice and especially love the sticky rice with chicken. And the owner is very friendly and sweet. Highly recommended! It's definitely a must-go.

Went here speculatively whilst waiting for my daughter. I ordered the chicken and beef pho and received a bowl of hot, fragrant happiness delivered by an enthusiastic and welcoming owner. It is places like this that remind you what food is all about.

We ate here yesterday. Incredible food and amazing service! We ordered pho (one chicken, one beef). Hands down the best pho at a restaurant I've had ever and I eat this cuisine a lot. Would come back in a heart beat. If you are in Edinburgh do not miss this. The owner is so kind and the service is great.

To begin with, the first time I went to Vietnam House Art Gallery and Cafe, was to get a massage on my back and shoulders; it did not happen, but as I am curious about world food, I returned a couple to eat. The menu does not have a great selection of foods, but dont let yourself be fooled, here you will eat food made with warm and heart. Vietname food is something different, delicate, fresh, and much more of a healthy option in Edinburgh than chinese, per example. I have tried sticky rice on lotus leaf, pork baguette and vietnam drip coffee - amazing! I got to return a couple of time more to try the rest of the menu! The service is straightforward and the wall are decorated with lovely artwork, you can take home if you wish.

We had spring rolls and Chicken Pho - both were amazingly tasty - glad we went back for lunch after a quick morning coffee. Staff and service also great.

Lots of interesting things from Vietnam like cards and curios and lovely art works. Not that many food choices. BUT if you ever need to chase away that chills and maybe a a cold coming on feeling, Come here and ask for extra ginger and lemon. So friendly and generous!

Stopped in on way back from watching football in the pub. Some choices had sold out but what was left was excellent and very filling. Well worth a visit.

Elusive authentic Vietnamese food is here. Forget microwave reheated hard spring rolls which began life some days earlier in a Basingstoke factory. Here you can see staff in the kitchen making soft, fresh Vietnamese spring rolls with prawns and fresh mint. The Pho soup which is a meal in itself, tastes so good partly because the matriarchal chef cooks chicken bones for hours to extract maximum flavour for the stock.

Delicious food, warm atmosphere and colorful and interesting arts. Excellent combination. I recommend. Try Especially the spring rolls! Service was very friendly.

Passed by on way to Haymarket train station, and was met by friendly staff. Ordered fish cakes and spring rolls for starter and sticky rice, noodle soup for mains.

Lovely, relaxed atmosphere with music and authentic Vietnamese art. Being vegetarian I was delighted to find veggie Spring Rolls served with a delicious sauce and a very tasty Mushroom & Tofu noodle soup ( Pho ), finished off nicely with Melon ice cream ( which I never knew existed ! it's gorgeous & creamy ) and a refreshing Ginger tea.

"You miss Vietnam very much", nos dijo la entrañable señora vietnamita que parecía ser la tal "Le Giang Morrison" de las tarjetas. Pues sí, desde Vietnam no habíamos probado algo parecido y quién iba a decir que lo haríamos en Edimburgo.

Fijn klein en rustig restaurant. Simpel eten, simpel drinken. De eigenares is in uitstekend humeur en lacht je uit als je jasmijnthee bestelt maar dat mag de pret niet drukken.

Booked a table in the evening for 4 of us as a bite to eat as part of a night out. As a cafe it has a limited menu however seems to be especially limited in the evening. Was not a problem as the fish cakes and chicken&beef; pho i ordered were ok and very tasty however a couple of our group couldn't have their first choices.

I had heard people talk about this place but we had never ventured in until this weekend when we happened to be walking past. We have travelled through Vietnam and so when we saw cà phê đá on the men (iced Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk) we had to pop in and try! It was beautiful coffee and the spring rolls we ordered were tasty and filling. It was a perfect afternoon treat and the lady that served us was so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be revisiting one evening to try the pho! Can't wait.

Popped in for a mid-week lunch because my wife fancied having pho. We both ordered the chicken pho and it was delicious! Fresh tasting, big portion and healthy too.

Popped here for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. The chicken pho seemed to never end....just as well it was so delicious!Lovely shop with interesting art for sale and friendly service. I’ll definitely return for more of the same. Super yum.

We just happened upon this place, the owner immediately made us feel so welcome. She was hilarious, charming and also an amazing cook. Really great atmosphere and food.

Vietnamese coffee was really great! I would definitely revisit to try the food next time, heard some really good things about it. Plus the service was excellent so another reason why I would return.

Really fantastic - the best I have had outside of Vietnam and it feels extra nourishing in the brisk weather.

My husband noticed this place in our walk into the city centre on our holiday in Edinburgh. We are so glad we decided to go here for dinner. We both had the pho which was provably the best we've had outside of Vietnam. The owner is lovely and the seeing is very interesting. The menu is small but from everything we saw come our if the kitchen it is all of high quality. We hippie too go back again this holiday

Fabulous food. Fresh Spring Rolls, Chicken Noodles, Vietnam Baguette with BBQ Pork and Sticky Rice with Chicken. Recommend it all in a very friendly environment.

Was invited here for lunch by friend who is a regular.

Not sure what I wanted to eat, so wandered around, and stopped outside this place. Not sure if did food in evening as was empty, or just was art gallery, but saw owner, so opened door and asked. Minutes later was eating lovely spring rolls, and then a great shrimp pho, finished off with a really nice ginger chocolate cake, Not sure of the Vietnamese heritage of the latter! I was the only, and the last diner of the evening at about 8pm, the place closing after I left. You are missing out if you do not give this place a try

Charming cafe full of interesting art which is for sale. The owner is a fantastic host and prepared amazing food, fresh Spring Rolls, Salad & Phô, so cozy and homely. Tea’s and coffees very good too. Easy to find just across the road from Haymarket station.

I was a solo eater and was made to feel so welcome, The venue is quite small but very cosy. Lots of lovely art work and trinkets to look at. It was a cold night and the heart extra large bowl of soup was such a warm filler! Packed with noodles and chicken and lots of fresh herbs it really was a treat.

We came here for a late feed one night as we were staying in the Haymarket Hub Hotel.

before a train i like to grab a coffee and do some work - in that i am not unusual.

Very authentic Vietnamese Pho served. Beautiful art work on display for sale. Very friendly staff and owner. Definitely worth a visit although the soup was a tiny bit too salty for my taste although absolutely delicious.

delicious pho and spring rolls. but the place has 2 other delicious elements. quirky art gallery and the friendliest people in Edinburgh. they are so cheerful and happy. all those gloomy and rainy day in Edinburgh will be wiped away with their contagious smile.

We found this place by chance looking for a light lunch before the rugby match in Edinburgh. Located opposite the haymarket station the interior resembles a cross between a cosy living room with paintings on one wall. This family run business specialise in home cooked vietnamese food and have a good range of paintings for sale. The food was very enjoyable albeit at a little more than your standard cafe. The quaint interiors, good food and enjoyable conversation with the owner makes this spot a hidden treasure in Edinburgh.

Very cute little restaurant with a family atmosphere, very caring and thorough owner/chef. Food was delicious and full of original Northern Vietnamese flavour, which is the best pho flavour you could find! What a brilliant gem in the middle of Edinburgh, highly recommended!

We popped in for a quick coffee (so can't comment on the food), but were blown away by the friendly welcome and service. The espressos were good and the artwork is interesting to look at as you drink.

Not to be confused with the Vietnam House restaurant, this is a fabulous environment of eclectic art and furniture, in a cafe setting, and really tasty, home made, Vietnamese food. The soup noodles are delicious, brimming with fresh coriander and spring onion... particularly the one with fishcakes. The spring rolls are not cooked, just fresh light vegetables in a clear pancake roll and a sambal dip... The Art and ethnic pieces are well worth a look too. Spend some time chatting to the owner and chef, if she has time, it lifts your spirits and makes you want to come back.

After walking past many times, finally came in for dinner with my girlfriend, amazing food, lovely chilled feeling to the place, good artwork all around, and a very sweet owner that took care of us and made us feel at home. I would recommend it to everyone. Also for those that go vegetarian or have food intolerance you have options to cater for all likings.

The food was excellent! Lovely atmosphere and really nice service. Definitely worth a visit! I had the spring rolls and a beef soup and both were really tasty. Good authentic vietnamese food, give it a try!

Ate here for lunch earlier with a friend. Had a pho with beef while my friend had pho with fishcake. Both were so good that we decided to have our dinner there as well. For dinner, I had steamed rice with pork. It was just fabulous. The pork are tender and well seasoned. The rice is perfectly cooked. The owner is a very nice lady who cater to every request with smile. Highly recommended.

Era una tarde/noche de diciembre, con un frío que pela y yo pasaba en solitario por la ciudad.

I have just been to this restaurant and i have to say foods here are amazing. I ordered phở and very happy to have the traditional flavour of my country in the UK which is nearly 10000km away from here.

A lot of people walk past this restaurant /gallery and don't even know it's there. Been wanting to try it for a while and it's a great wee place. Very quirky. And the food is really tasty. Will be back to try out the different dishes.

lovely cosy restaurant with splendid works of art decorating the walls and the shelves. food is very good and made to order. lovely reception and service. excellent experience and very handy to the haymarket transport hub.

I visited Edinburgh with my family for the first time, and we found this place by accident on our first day. We tried their Vietnamese coffee (first time in our lives!) which we really enjoyed. The owner was very nice and gave us the best service. Then we went back there to try their dishes on our last day in Edinburgh. The beef noodle soup was the best Pho I have ever tasted. I can't wait to vist Vietnam House Art Gallery again one day!

I wanted something different for Lunch so decided to try this place. I was so pleased that I did as the food was amazing! If you are in the area then you should try it. They have a small menu but it includes veggie options!

Interesting setting with lots of fun things to look at; paintings, ornaments and drawings - most of it for sale. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. We only had hot drinks (lotus tea and Vietnamese coffee) - they were nice. The food looked and smelt good, though we didn't dine.

Myself and my boyfriend have been meaning to visit here for ages. We finally went on Sunday. It was delicious. It was so friendly, fresh and welcoming.

A quiet art gallery/cafe with lots of Vietnamese art, with a very warm welcome from Le Giang. A very relaxing atmosphere with plenty of art to enjoy while you eat lunch. The Pho Cha Ca was very tasty and service was prompt. Will visit again.

Tough one this as the lady who runs the business was very nice and polite.. The menu is very limited; but on the night we visited it was even more limited as only one of the four starters was available. . Fish cakes, unfortunately both myself and my daughter are vegatarian, no starter then.. due to limited ingredients we were restricted to one main course option, which was very nice but did detract from the whole dining experience. To be honest I would have ordinarily left to eat elsewhere, but the surroundings were quaint and the proprietor very friendly. I would not eat dinner here again; but ingredients allowing would try lunch... Shame we were really looking forward to experiencing Vietnamise cuisine.

Hier kun je heerlijk vietnamees eten en verrukkelijke gezonde verse sappen krijgen. De Vietnamese eigenaresse is enorm gastvrij. Echt een aanrader voor zowel lunch als avondeten. Als je geïnteresseerd bent in Vietnamese kunst of een massage kun je hier ook terecht. Voor een massage moet je wel van te voren een afspraak maken.

We found the restrants by accident , and what a find ! The decor was great , along with the food , which was cooked fresh , the fish cakes were the best ones I have had outside Asia , we both had chicken noodle soup which was spicy and clean tasting .

This is our fourth visit to Le Giangs cafe,her Pho soup was excellent yet again,as was the warm welcome we always receive when we arrive.this cafe and art gallery are a must visit if you are in Edinburgh,also visit her daughters resturant in Grove Street Veitnam House Resturant another must visit.We also met up with Donald Le Giangs husband who we met at their gallery in Ho Chi Min last November if you go to Ho Chi be sure to visit their gallery. Lovely family good food warm welcome highly reco men you visit

We popped in here after getting off the tram. It was absolutely delicious! I have eaten a lot of Pho in my time and this bowl was particularly flavourful! The owners were both really friendly and helpful. The artwork is brilliant to look at while you're waiting and eating.

Love Vietnamese food, my family and friends can vouch for that.

Current Address: 1-3 Grove St, Edinburgh, EH3 8AF

I popped in for lunch while having my bike fixed along the road and I'd never tried Vietnamese food. Can't fault the interior which is a lovely gallery of ecclectic art but I'm sure 'authentic' cooking shouldn't include the use of a microwave!

Great relaxing place for lunch, excellent lunch offer from 12 to 2pm. all tastes so fresh. Good service too and so relaxing. Opening hours on this entry are wrong, they are open 11am to 8pm every day.

Nice place to have quite lunch with friends. The food is out stranding. Very clean and the staff is so friendly.

Découvert par hasard à côté de notre hôtel, nous n'avions pas tout de suite compris le concept de cet endroit : massage, café et galerie d'art en même temps? Curieux!

Authentic Vietnamese food in a friendly, welcoming venue, surrounded by Vietnamese art. In central Haymarket. Our kids especially liked the fish cakes and pineapple ice cream.

this is a little gem of a place. The owner is the most amazing, warm and welcoming lady.Coconut Ice cream to die for, with a nice cup of Vietnamese coffee. Next time we will be going back for food as we didn't have time on this occasion. Everyone should visit this place at least once and then go back again. just check opening times as people get confused with her daughters Vietnamese restaurants. (Vietnam house restaurant).

We went there as could not find a open place for something fast , so we were not sure about the food we just asked for one dish the sticky rice, it was very good. and we order something else and it was also very good. So I'm really really surprised about their food as I have never heard about them, it is a secret in Edinburgh you must try

Love the chicken noodle soup, full of herbs and very uflifting , delicious. ESpecially when you are tasting this beautiful meal, your eyes also entertained by paintings and crafts surround you. Truly a little gem. Will return for meal and also to test the massage. Don't miss this place when you are in Edinburgh.

This place is a god send! It sometimes get missed, however next time anyone is in haymarket, take a short walk from the station to this small and cute place! The first time we came here, we had great Vietnamese salad and rice and the lotus tea is very nice. The owner is very sweet and showed us the paintings and it nice and quiet. 2nd time we had a massage here and it was very competitively priced and relaxing. Overall in a month, we have been here 5 times as we feel very welcome. Every 4 weeks there is an exhibition which has local artists and Vietnamese art ...which also gives free wine and cheese. It's a shame we are leaving Edinburgh...wish we found this place sooner

Well I was passing by at street and took a look at vitrine and see the paints and the massage advertisement. I just get in and was very welcome by the a lady. She was so kind and nice. I just booked a massage (body) and took a Vietnamese coffee that was excellent. The massage was really relaxing, I would come back someday when visit Edinburgh again. About the arts, I think is quite expensive but they are very nice.

My husband and I came across this gallery on a walk around Haymarket in Edinburgh and we were enticed inside by the wonderful colourful artwork and crafts on display in the window. What we discovered was a very warm and welcoming gallery with a range of work from Vietnamese artists but also art from Scotland and other countries. Do not be put off by the small size of the gallery as there is plenty to look at and I was very happy to see that prices for work was very good and that you could pick up lots for £10-30 and paintings were in a great price range too with some of the larger work for £120-£200+. The hosts in the gallery were extremely welcoming and my husband fell in love with the Vietnamese coffee that was on sale here. Comfy sofas, delicious drinks and friendly chat while being surrounded by stunning artwork meant we stayed for longer than we thought we would and we were never under huge pressure to buy buy buy which meant I could have a look around and ask about work without having to commit straight away to buying. I highly recommend a visit to this gallery which is just across from Haymarket Train Station and was a refreshing change from the larger galleries we tended to visit. I left with a couple of purchases but I know I will be back upon my next visit to see what new work is on display.
