For two decades, Libertine has encouraged a shared style of dining to reflect the way in which food is enjoyed (and friends and family are celebrated) throughout Asia - served in the Hawker-style, arriving at your table as soon as it has been prepared. Our food is a fun and modern combination of French & Vietnamese cuisine, with a nod here and there to other SE Asian cultures. We prioritise customer satisfaction, aiming to create a welcoming environment that keeps guests coming back. This is achieved through our knowledgeable and friendly team.
