Vietnam is not the first country people think of for Spanish food, but our directory currently lists 11 Spanish restaurants there. Most are tapas places. A few are attached to Spanish hotel groups on the coast. Here is every one of them, city by city, described from its own listing.
Ho Chi Minh City
Saigon has the biggest cluster, five venues, most of them in District 1.
- Iberico Tapas y Vino I, 33 Võ Trường Toản, District 2. It describes itself simply as an authentic Spanish tapas restaurant in Saigon.
- Iberico Tapas y Vino II, 20A Thi Sách, Bến Nghé, District 1. Homemade, traditional tapas in a casual room with friendly, family-style service. The owners say the restaurant is also their way of promoting Spanish culture and food.
- Tomatito Saigon, 171 Calmette, District 1. Typical Spanish food and tapas.
- Casa María, 15D Ngô Quang Huy, Thảo Điền. A small tapas restaurant with a straightforward, traditional approach.
- Sabor Restaurant & Bar, 114 Yersin, District 1. A bar with indoor and outdoor seating that serves cocktails, wine and Spanish-inspired tapas.
The two Iberico branches list the same Facebook page, and a third Iberico Tapas y Vino is in Hoi An (below). See the full list at Ho Chi Minh City.

The beach cities have the hotel restaurants.

How to use this list
If you are in Saigon, you have a real choice, from a casual tapas bar to a cocktail bar with Spanish-leaning food. Elsewhere you will mostly find one or two places per city, so book ahead and check opening hours on the restaurant's own page before you travel. Several of these venues list only a Facebook page as their website.
