A unique place in Tay Ninh city may be because it's the first French restaurant in town. We discovered this restaurant 2 years ago, here's our new review.

It's important to know that the restaurant is often crowded so a bit noisy, the terrace is large with 10 tables available only!

Many customers seem to order pizzas in advance and just come to pick them up. We stayed about 2 hours and we saw tens of pizza boxes going away.

The best time for a dinner is probably between 4pm to 5.30pm because it's more quite, between 6.30pm to 8pm, it's the rush.

There are about 22 different pizzas, 8 burgers (large one!), pastas and French dishes. Most of the tables had at least one pizza on it. Size S, M or L and even a XL size (18" / +/- 45 cm!).

We selected a pizza size M called "La Supreme" including smoked salmon, seafood, mussels from New Zealand and a scallop from Japan. It was gorgeous! A crispy but soft dough, a savoury sauce, a lot of cheese... We also asked for Pasta Bolognese, the sauce was rich, full of flavors and meaty. Really succulent! Unfortunately, parmesan cheese was not available, the chef offered us Emmental cheese instead, a great offer, the cheese was so good!

Concerning the prices: Pizzas are cheaper than in Ho Chi Minh city, in a meantime it's difficult to compare with Pizza Hutt, Pizza 4P's, Italiani's or Domino's because pizzas are very different, French style is unique in a way. And of course, the rent and staff is probably cheaper in Tay Ninh city than in Ho Chi Minh city. Most of the products used are imported even the tomato sauce imported from Italy!!!

Before leaving we decided to ask a few questions to the Chef, a very kind French man. We asked him why the restaurant opens only at 4pm. His answer was very clear, he needs time to prepare the sauces, the dough, the cakes. Most of the dishes are homemade even the breaded chicken (MEN1) made with a fresh breast of chicken, marinated and breaded.

We thought that pizzas were the most famous dish at La Dem Bistro but in reality it represents just 55% of the sales. The best sales are the burgers, the bolognese pasta, the French croissant, the striploin steak and the meat platter.

More or less 80% of Vietnamese customers, 20% of foreigners (US, Australian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, French...)
