Our recommendations!
- STREETS International, 17 Le Loi. Staff are trained through a program to help underprivileged youth. Delicious Vietnamese food and absolutely lovely staff. Please help support their efforts by stopping in!
- Evening Street Food, along the river on Bach Dang, on either side of the small bridge that leads across the river to the Night Market. Trust us when we say it's a steal! Enjoy local Hoi An specialties - Mi Quang and Cao Lau - for less than 1 USD!
- Cargo Club, 107-109 Nguyen Thai Hoc St. Vietnamese and Western food on the menu. Oh, and did we mention AMAZING homemade ice-cream and baked goods?
