Customers enjoy a beverage in Ho Chi Minh City’s Quy Café – which recreates a sense of the romantic town of Da Lat in the Central Highlands

A café in HCMC celebrates the romantic town of Da Lat with delicious coffee, landscape photography showing the mountain mists, and live music.

At 400/1C Le Van Sy Street, the café is in a quiet alley about two kilometers from the city center. It has two rooms decorated with photos of Da Lat taken by two photographers - Michel Phuoc, also known as MPK, a renowned resident Da Lat photographer, and Japanese photojournalist Fukui Takaya. In the center of the café is a picture of da quy (Tithonia diversifolia), the wild sunflower symbol of the town famous for its mild weather.

Customers can browse the bookshelf which is devoted to the highland town and listen to love songs by famous

Vietnamese musicians Trinh Cong Son and Ngo Thuy Mien or be entertained by an inspired customer playing the café’s acoustic guitar.

By night, Quy Café is a popular rendezvous - a cozy place to meet new people and make friends, sit together to play the guitar and sing songs.

On Saturday nights, Quy Café usually organizes live performances from artists and customers.

The coffee is delicious with beverages priced between VND20,000-35,000 (US$1.40-2) each.
