Lotus Garden, not far from the Garden Hotel area and the old zoo, is actually associated with the aforementioned Rendezvous. Their two menus, though similarly focusing on and fusing French and Vietnamese cuisines, are not exactly the same. Lotus Garden is a little younger than its cousin, being in operation only a matter of months, and keeps a similarly elegant interior. You can sample the Vietnamese style cold vermicelli, rice paper rolls, spring rolls and the spicy and sour shrimp soup, or can choose French favorites such as steak, pasta, duck and chicken breast, and of course the desserts. The average price for one person is about 50 RMB.
