1. Banh Xeo Tom Nhay Anh Vu
$ | |Take your pick of tom (shrimp) or bo (beef) to fill your Binh Dinh--style rice pancake. The local rendition of banh xeo is arguably the best in the country; they come smaller and zestier here than in other parts of the country, and can be wrapped in rice paper and green mango (a must). Wrap everything up, dunk it in some chili-laced fish sauce and tuck in. One's good for a snack; two makes a meal.
14 Dien Hong, Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, Vietnam093-279–8669Known For
- Simple service
- Servings of two pancakes
- Local specialty dish
-
2. Nem Viet
$ | |This is a basic metal-tables-and-chairs joint that's open to the street, serving up a delicious version of nem nuong (barbecued pork) served with platters of rice paper, herbs, pickled vegetables, fried wonton wrappers (for crunch), fresh rice noodles, sliced green banana, and star fruit, which are rolled together and dipped into a pork-and-peanut sauce. This is a Central Highlands specialty that's best washed down with a cold beer.
14–16 Ly Thuong Kiet, Buon Ma Thuot, Dac Lak, Vietnam0262-381--8464Known For
- No-fuss food
- Authentic, street feel
- Local specialty dish
-
3. Banh Xeo Cay Phuong
$ | |Opened in 1995, Banh Xeo Cay Phuong serves Central Vietnam–style banh xeo (sizzling pancakes), from 4:30 pm to 10 pm. A default order at this one-dish, family-run, off-street eatery is four palm-sized pancakes, but you can order as many as you like. Notice the original sign handpainted in classic South Vietnamese typescript.
49 Tuyen Quang, Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan, VietnamKnown For
- Iconic national dish
- Quaint environment
- Authentic feel
-
4. Cay Bang
$$$ | |About a mile outside the main tourist strip, Cay Bang commands a prime location right on the oceanfront, with a great view of Ong Dia Rock and the hordes of surrounding kitesurfers. Popular with tour groups, the unpretentious two-story local joint with seating for up to 1,000 guests specializes in live seafood cooked to order, including the local chisel fish (ca duc). There is an English menu but expect Vietnamese-style service, which can seem rude if you're not used to it.
2–4 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Binh Thuan, Vietnam0252-384--7009Known For
- Splendid oceanfront location
- Local specialty dishes
- Popularity with locals
-
5. Com Ga Bay Quan
$ | |Like a lot of eateries in Quy Nhon, this place does simple, but truly delicious meals, with minimum fuss and maximum care. A good idea is to sit outside on the street corner and watch the world go by as you tuck into dinner. A huge menu on the wall proclaims a wide range of dishes to choose from, but you might have to just point out the one you want.
47 Mai Xuan Thuong, Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, Vietnam0256-381--2214Known For
- Com ga (delicious, filling chicken and rice)
- Suon (grilled pork chops)
- Great people-watching spot

6. Com Sau Thu
$ | |One of the most popular com binh dan (canteens) in town, Com Sau Thu has been making locals happy with their cheap and cheerful fare for more than 10 years. (The husband and wife Sau and Thu now have three shops, but locals agree the original one at this address remains the best.) The daily options are displayed in a glass case at the front of the restaurant, so you can just point to a range of dishes and then take a seat. Vietnamese people usually order one meat dish, one or two vegetable dishes, and a soup, and all are placed in the middle of the table and shared. There's no need to order rice because it comes automatically.
121 Tran Cao Van, Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, Vietnam0256-382--3980Known For
- Simple service---just point
- Sharing dishes
- Local popularity
-
7. Dalat Night Market
$ | |Sampling a fresh banh trang nuong, aka Dalat pizza, from one of the night market street vendors is a must—a great snack to sustain you while you explore all that the night market has to offer. Banh trang nuong is a circle of rice paper, brushed with an egg and dried prawn mixture, barbecued on an open brazier, folded, and wrapped in a square of newspaper. There are many banh trang sellers at the top of the stairs next to the market. Along the stairs and at the base of the staircase are more food vendors, offering a range of soups, chao (rice porridge), and barbecued chicken feet.

8. Eva Cafe
$ | |A beautiful, restful garden café, filled with carvings and sculptures, this is the place to come for excellent coffee, sweet egg coffee (a Hanoi specialty of whipped egg yolk and coffee), and fruit shakes. The English-speaking owner, Mr. An, is a fountain of knowledge about the local area and is available to lead multiday treks or tours through nearby ethnic minority villages. He charges around $60 per person ($70 for solo travelers) for a two-day, one-night trek, including transport, lunch, and a gong show.

9. Galangal
$$ | |Tourist-friendly Vietnamese cuisine is served in a relaxing, relatively upmarket atmosphere here. The street food is cooked along the sides of the restaurant, giving the place a lively edge. It's a tasty and safe option for those who are wary of real street food, or groups seeking a mixture of street food and restaurant fare. Tasting menus are available for those struck by indecision.

- Veggie curry
- Good value

11. Lac Canh
$$ | |Join the locals at this popular and sometimes rowdy barbecue and hotpot joint that becomes quite smoky when the serious table-top barbecuing gets underway. The decor is very plain, the food is cheap and delicious, and there's an English menu.

-
14. Nha Trang Xua
$$ | |For some of the best authentic Vietnamese food around, head 6 km (4 miles) outside the city center to this 300-year-old house surrounded by rice paddies and lotus ponds. The menu, handwritten on cardboard, features fish barbecued in bamboo, banana flower salad, crispy prawn pancakes, and Asian spinach soup with basil-seasoned rice. For a unique dessert, try the white rice and mung beans in coconut sauce.

17. Rainforest
$$ | |With a three-story jungle tree house decked out with swings and slides, as well as quieter alcoves and offbeat seating to enjoy local coffee and an array of food, Rainforest is certainly the most unique eatery in town. The theme might seem purely playful and wild, but the design of the place as a whole has a sophisticated feel.
146 Vo Tru, Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, Vietnam098-698–1629Known For
- Great coffee
- Unique design
- Secluded, peaceful atmosphere
-
18. Thanh Thuy Blue Water Restaurant
$$ | |A stylish lakeside location for coffee, cocktails, or a meal, either on the deck under one of the purple umbrellas or inside, Thanh Thuy has an extensive menu (in English) of Vietnamese, Szechuan, and Vietnamese twists on Western dishes. The service can seem slow if you're not used to the local style of flagging a waiter down when you need one, rather than waiting for service.
2 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Dalat, Lam Dong, Vietnam0263-353–1668Known For
- Best view in town
- Slightly higher prices
- Extensive menu
-
19. Trung Nguyen Coffee Village
$$ | |The standout feature of what is essentially a giant café is the beautiful replica open-air ancient house, of a type that would have housed royalty in Imperial times, which serves Vietnamese dishes, such as bo kho (beef stew) and bo luk lak (shaking beef). Try a coffee in the ancient house, in the "cave" section, reached via concrete stepping stones over a pond, or on the deck overlooking the gardens. There's also a mini coffee museum and a gift shop on site.
