Le Petit Gecko Restaurant- 07 Xuân Viên, Sapa

Great place to hang out and relax after a long day of exploring. Cosy atmosphere. Service was fast. Ordered D bacon burger set plus hot coconut coffee. Well, for appro US$5 it was worth it. Generous portions of bacon, eggs and well prepared beef patty make it simply enjoyable (at least not in Singapore for that kind of price. Oops, no offense intended, just stating a point of the high costs for food). As for the coffee, it was somewhat tad sweet for my liking. Shall stick to more SE Asian oriental taste. Overall, the dining experience was really nice because it was comfortable and relaxing throughout.

We had a really nice time dining at Le Petit Gecko. The place has a cozy and relaxed vibe that makes it easy to just sit back and enjoy your meal. We ordered the carbonara, pizza, egg coffee, and salted coffee, and everything was good. The carbonara was creamy and comforting, the pizza was flavorful with a nicely cooked crust, and both drinks were enjoyable. The egg coffee was smooth and unique, while the salted coffee had a surprisingly good balance of sweet and salty. What stood out the most was the service. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Overall, the food was good and the service was very good — definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in the area.

The pork caramelize main dish has tender pork, the bolognese has a natural, herby flavor. The pizza is really good, definitely one of the best in Sapa (we tried three other places). The bun cha was also the best I’ve tried in Sa Pa. The ambiance is cozy and noteworthy. Service during the meal wasn’t very friendly, possibly due to how busy it was, but the staff were pleasant afterward. The cashier and dessert take-out staff were especially nice. Personal preference: the egg coffee and coconut coffee were too sweet for me. The beef pepper had slightly gummy beef, and the carbonara was good but too creamy. Prices are a bit higher than other restaurants, but still reasonable for the portions and taste.

After a disappointing early dinner at Chic in Hotel de la Coupole, we ended up here for a coffee-and-dessert binge — and it was a comforting reset. Our server was very warm, attentive, and efficient. She got our orders out quickly and even moved us to a better spot on the second floor, where we enjoyed views of a chilly, foggy Sapa night. The place itself is clean, cute, and cozy, with a charming forever-Christmas vibe. Desserts were hit and miss. The apple pie with ice cream was below average, while the tiramisu was just okay. The clear winner for us was the passion fruit cake — tangy, smooth, not overly sweet, and beautifully balanced. For drinks: the cold coconut coffee with ice cream looked impressive but leaned too far into dessert territory; the coconut flavor was overpowering, and the use of older coconut meat didn’t quite work texture-wise. The hot coconut coffee was better and enjoyable on its own, though having tried Cong’s coconut coffee first set a very high bar. Their egg coffee was yummy and better than those along Train Street, though still far from the refinement of Café Dinh and Café Giang. The yellow fruit shake (likely a mango–passion fruit blend) was fresh, clean-tasting, and nicely restrained in sweetness. Overall, a cozy, pleasant spot for desserts and drinks — especially if you’re looking to wind down on a cold Sapa night.

We really liked this place for breakfast. So much so that we returned the next day. Unfortunately the service was sloppy the second time. The granola was still fresh and the mushroom omelette very tasty. Never mind we would still recommend it. Sitting on the first floor balcony is pleasant, if no-one is smoking on another table.

We checked out many cafes in Sapa but this one was a consistent winner for us. Great coffee, lovely huge breakfasts (try the granola!! So much fruit) and a great selection of cakes. Staff are lovely as is the coffee. We came back a few times.

The ambience is very nice here. The food are sooo good. We ordered Mapo Tofu (this one is not on the menu, you need to request to the waiter), Caramelized Pork with rice 👍 Hot wine is best at this kind of weather. It’s soothing and match to the ambience 👍 This place is highly recommended for all of you. Kids friendly too. Not all the waiters can speak English fluently, yet there’s a girl waiter quite fluent in English 😀 It’s wonderfull experience

We came for coffee and opted to sit at the top floor which was quiet and had nicer views. The service was friendly but unfortunately a bit slow and they forgot about one of the items we ordered. Good thing they accepted card for payment. The coffee and matcha latte were good.
