Lêlê Modern Vietnamese Cuisine

What feels like a decade ago – I was backpacking in the south of Vietnam for just two weeks. The people, the food and the landscape took me by storm - just like the amazing Vietnamese restaurant Lêlê at Vesterbro in Copenhagen. Lêlê is so much more than just a meal. You can sense the international vibe when you enter from the street. The restaurant is a mix of modern Asia meeting Vesterbro.

The menu offers everything from light snacks, main courses, menus and deserts and a fantastic cocktail card. The cocktails are either served at the ‘Tiger bar’ or at your table. My favorite cocktail is Anh’s passion; a mix of homemade vanilla syrup, passion fruit purée and lemon. 

If you rather enjoy the meal at home you can order food from the Lêlê street kitchen, just one block away from the restaurant. But I will strongly recommend you go to the restaurant and enjoy a night where West meets East at the Lêlê restaurant. The colors, the food and the excellent service is definitely worth a visit.
