When it comes to turkey takeaways and deliveries, you can trust the good guys at Eddie’s who have been delivering the holidays in Saigon for more than five years. Besides half and whole-roasted turkeys that feed groups from 6 to 60 people plus all the trimmings, Eddie’s also delivers individual meals (vnd 499,000++ per person) including appetizers, mains like Roast Turkey, Smoked honey ham, Beef Wellington, and Beef Tenderloin as well as moreish sides like Mac and Cheese, roast potatoes and chestnut and sage stuffing.

Pair your succulent centerpiece pick with one of La Villa’s many cold appetizers by the jar - foie gras terrine, pork terrine, and black olive tapenade - and canapés that come in sets of twenty starting from VND 550,000. The main stars of the show are the classic French sweets including Paris Brest and Apple tart.
