A pretty place in the city, which cultivates the atmosphere of the high plateaus, in a green setting. Coffee, fruit juice and some Vietnamese specialties.

This establishment located in a nice old house offers a very good traditional Vietnamese gastronomy. The atmosphere of the place is pleasant, with wooden furniture and a neat decoration. A good place to taste local specialties. Many choices on the menu, don't hesitate to ask for advice from the waiters (who speak English). The star of the menu? The rice cooked in a small earthen pot(com dâp) which is broken with gaiety. This is quite folkloric but can also generate an unpleasant background noise for the guests.

Excellent restaurant with a superb large terrace on the river. Carefully prepared Vietnamese cuisine offering all the specialities of the region (the chef worked in the kitchens of the 4-star Victoria Hoi An hotel).

Downside: the restaurant welcomes many groups.

A good Indian restaurant installed here, faithful to the history and tradition of Hôi An, maritime crossroads of Southeast Asia. On the menu: specialties from all regions of India, unfortunately not very spicy in order to satisfy both local and western palates. We particularly recommend the shrimp curry with mango.

Authentic and delicious Indian cuisine. Opened in July 2011, the restaurant is popular with customers, although the setting, with its kitschy airport lobby feel, lacks charm and personality. It offers a wide variety of specialities from northern and southern India. The traditional tandoor produces delicious naan.
