Le 91 Bistro & Bar is a newly opened Parisian-style bistro in Saigon<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

Emily in Paris <\/em>was one of Netflix’s biggest hits in 2020. The TV series told the story of an American girl’s eye-opening journey in the romantic city – featuring tons of fashionable clothes, stunning shots of iconic Paris landmarks, beautiful streets, and quaint caf\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

The good news is, you don’t have to be in Paris or wait until the COVID-19 travel restrictions are lifted to fly to the City of Love\u00a0<\/em>to have an authentic Parisian experience.<\/p>\n

If you’re a Saigon office girl who enjoys taking selfies and making boomerangs with everything Parisian just like Emily, Le 91 Bistro & Bar<\/strong> could be your best bet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
