Élite Saigon — Vietnamese café in Footscray, Melbourne, with a live music lounge opening upstairs

Footscray · nowCafé by day · lounge by night

Café · Daily · 9am – 3pm

Cà phê, the old Saigon way

Slow-dripped phin coffee, salted cheese foam, bạc xỉu and a crispy pork bánh mì — the corner café of old Sài Gòn, now in Footscray.

Lounge · Live music — opening soon

Jazz, soul & a proper pour

The room upstairs is being readied: a central stage, tables that face it, and a cellar of champagne, rare whisky and cognac. We are working through the live-music licence now.

Two rooms · one soul

Classic soul, modern pour.

Élite Saigon is a love letter to Sài Gòn's golden era: the café where the day begins over a slow phin, and the lounge where it ends with a torch song and a proper pour. Two rooms, one soul, on a Footscray corner.
