Since 1986, this small establishment near the citadel has been serving Hue's specialty: Bhan Khoai. These are small crunchy pancakes made of rice and cassava flour, filled with shrimps, pork and vegetables. Chillies and herbs are then added as desired. The homemade sauce, in which you dip your pancake, is made with a secret recipe that is the trademark of the restaurant. You can add to your meal egg rolls and grilled pork skewers. It's simply delicious and the locals flock there in numbers.
