The best restaurants Tam Côc

This small, friendly restaurant is a favorite with tourists to Tam Côc. Not surprisingly, the place is small but pleasant, the service attentive and smiling, and the menu offers a wide range of dishes at fair prices. Vietnamese specialties, including very good banh mi, pho, nems, bun bo, noodles, fried rice, grilled chicken, pork, beef or goat, several choices for breakfast... It's unpretentious, but has a nice kick.

If you've been criss-crossing the northern mountain roads for a few days, you may be tempted to vary your culinary pleasures a little... This unpretentious establishment is quite popular in Tam Coc, with foreign tourists and Vietnamese alike. It offers around 30 varieties of wood-fired pizzas and a few pasta dishes, beef steaks and burgers. The pizzas are very good, the service quick and smiling, and the room pleasant. Several options for vegetarians. Prices higher than elsewhere.

Among the myriad of restaurants lining the street, this one stands out thanks to one of the local specialties: duck! Braised in front of the establishment, the smell attracts customers and the meat is delicious. There are many other Vietnamese dishes on the menu, including recipes based on goat's meat, which is also braised on certain days. To make matters worse, the welcome is pleasant, the owner speaks fluent French and is very friendly, and the prices are reasonable.
