Tamarine is one of the most acclaimed Vietnamese restaurants on the Peninsula, known for elevating familiar dishes with careful sourcing and refined presentation. The menu takes a contemporary approach — spring rolls with house-cured duck, clay pot dishes with heritage pork — without losing sight of the flavours that make Vietnamese food satisfying.
It is slightly more expensive than the Vietnamese restaurants you find in San José's Little Saigon, but the quality is consistently high and the room is attractive. Reservations recommended on weekends. Located at 546 University Avenue.
