A fascinating fact about the Mediterranean diet is that it was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage on November 16th 2010 because it mainly contains fruits, whole grains, beans, olive oil, vegetables and herbs. If it sounds interesting to you, keep reading because I will list the best Mediterranean restaurant right here in Saigon for you.

Kebaby Restaurant

This is a German restaurant and they serve Kebabs and bowls with vegan options and vegetarian options. If you fancy a loaf of kebab with lambs or chicken and vegetables, this restaurant is meant for you.

It is located right in Binh Thanh District, which is a part of the center of Saigon, so it is convenient for you to get there. Moreover, you can also order by phone or Facebook page if eating out is not your option today.

A special thing about this restaurant is that ingredients here are homemade, premium, fresh and nutritious.

When you first come to this restaurant, you are very likely to be captured by the primary color, which is brown. This color can make people feel at home and it helps people get closer to each other. It is suitable for friend get-togethers or family get-togethers. However, if you have a new friend and you want to bring them somewhere to have friendly conversations, eating a kebab and drinking some beer may be all you need.

This restaurant wants to bring customers the best experience with kebabs and bowls because the food is mouthwatering and healthy as well.
