A Valentine’s Date At The Shipyard  

As Valentine’s Day fills Saigon with bold gestures and celebratory energy, The Shipyard at Hotel Indigo Saigon The City offers an alternative, an evening shaped by subtlety, intimacy, and the pleasure of lingering over a thoughtfully composed dinner.

Valentine’s at The Shipyard centres on a set menu created exclusively for February 14th. Designed as a seamless progression rather than a showcase, each course arrives with intention, allowing flavours, textures, and conversation to unfold naturally. The result is a dining experience where the table becomes the heart of the date, and the meal sets the tone for the evening.

A Menu That Speaks in Nuance

The evening opens with lobster, paired with beetroot jelly and red chocolate sauce. Sweetness meets earthiness in a combination that feels both unexpected and restrained, offering a gentle introduction to the night ahead. It is a dish that invites diners to pause, a quiet moment before the conversation deepens. 

Seared scallops follow, served with a cep mushroom cream sauce and finished with a light truffle mushroom foam. Aromatic yet composed, the dish reveals its depth gradually, balancing richness with elegance and allowing the natural sweetness of the scallops to remain in focus.

For the main course, pan-seared duck breast glazed with honey is accompanied by sour cherry wine and braised cabbage. Warm, full-flavoured, and comforting, it anchors the menu with a sense of generosity that feels particularly fitting for Valentine’s evening. 

Dessert arrives as a velvet rose vanilla mousse with a lightly tart cherry jelly. Soft in texture and delicately sweet, it brings the dinner to a close without excess, leaving behind a lingering sense of ease rather than indulgence.

A Setting Designed to Let the Evening Unfold

The Shipyard provides a setting that complements the menu without drawing attention away from it. Inspired by the historic Ba Son Shipyard, the space feels open and welcoming, with a quiet confidence in its design. Gentle lighting and carefully spaced tables create a natural sense of privacy, allowing couples to settle comfortably into their evening. 

Among the many Valentine’s offerings across the city, The Shipyard presents a different proposition, one where the menu leads the emotion, the setting supports the experience, and the evening unfolds with intention. Perhaps what makes this Valentine’s dinner most appealing is the simple desire it leaves behind: to stay a little longer, long after dessert has been served.

Valentine’s Set Menu at The Shipyard is priced at VND 1,500,000++ per guest, available exclusively on 14 February, from 6:00 pm.
