If you have chance to go to  Ho Chi Minh City. , just at least one time visit a café restaurant and enjoy yourselves there. If you are wondering where you will go, think of Petite Note Café at 351/4 Le Van Sy Street, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City.

There are many art cafés in Ho Chi Minh City but none quite like Petite Note whose designers love of music and art is obvious with its millions of newspaper and magazine clippings joined together on the walls and on figure heads with its neutral colors, photographs and portraits of musicians. There are also numerous art pieces in the perfectly lighted ground floor where you can even look past the artistic interior to witness the green exterior and of course the stage where the cafe holds solo piano and jazz performances. 

Owner and designer Nguyen Huu Binh, who opened the café five years ago, explains: “I am a graphic designer and I love music and the arts so that’s why I named the cafe Petite Note. The cafe is designed in pop-art style. In the café you can enjoy many kinds of music such as jazz, folk, country, blues and rock.

“Guests can feel the impromptu inspiration behind the design with handmade decorations from lamps, bookcases, small tables or red round iron pillars mixed together like silk cords scattered around the cafe.”

To get to the first floor is like climbing into the old tree-house you had as a child, but fortunately there is stairs not a ladder. It is so relaxing and, rain permitting, so nice to breathe in the semi-fresh area of Le Van Sy.

The space between floors is like a little garden with its trees and ponds, a feature not unique in the city. The little steps over these ponds though as much as they are a great idea in the sunny season, but during this wet time, can be a little tricky. Just as well I don’t have to wear heels.

The soft music plays throughout the building and adds to the ambience of the cafe which also has an enticing menu with drinks and food suitably priced. The Soprano ice-cream is a must I must add.

You feel so comfortable in company or alone waiting for your late-arriving friends, and the cafe is where the young, professional clientele can even be spotted alone creatively working on their laptops and being inspired by the surroundings.

Every year, tours to Vietnam in general as well as tours to Ho Chi Minh City have increased a lot. Beside of special trips taking a lot of time and money, tourists who travel to Vietnam also simply go to café restaurants like Petite Note Café to seek another attractions in the culture of Ho Chi Minh city as well as Vietnam culture.
