I stumbled upon City High in Da Nang by chance. After researching and seeing pictures online, I decided to go. And the result was completely satisfying.
It's a small, cozy French/European restaurant located in a small alley off Ngo Gia Tu Street, a true hidden gem.
The food is quite traditional, in my opinion, but very meticulously prepared, from the cooking and presentation to the service.
The appetizer sandwiches were delicious, especially the brioche, which was soft, fluffy, and moist.
The hollandaise egg, a kind of egg benedict with potatoes, made with chorizo or iberico, was excellent.
The scallop romesco sauce was captivating, sweet, and fresh. The beef tartare was perfect.
I didn't like the oysters because they lacked the right amount of chilling due to being served on a tray without ice.
The foie gras was perfectly cooked, creamy, and rich. All the main courses were delicious.
The only downside is that the menu doesn't include any vegetable dishes or salads. Bringing girlfriends or wives and children here often results in scolding for not satisfying the ladies, as there weren't enough vegetables. The wine menu is also a bit limited in selection, but the few bottles are quite good.
When you're at the beach and tired of seafood, this place is a great alternative. Highly recommended.
