Nha Trang Restaurants

Where and What to Eat in Nha Trang

It's not hard to guess what the most popular cuisine in the coastal city of Nha Trang is. Still, seafood comes in many forms and combinations so variety can still be the spice of your culinary adventures here.

Of course as Nha Trang is a tourist destination this means that you can try the upmarket five-star hotel dining options but it's nice to know that there are lots of local down-home choices. In fact the only obstacle you will find is that not all menus are in English.

Ana Pavilion

Okay – so it's situated in a hotel – but Ana Pavilion is pretty much the last word in luxurious, innovative and stylish dining in Nha Trang. You can dine here on the oceanfront veranda, under a canvas umbrella in the courtyard, or eating by candlelight over the open ocean on the seaside jetty. There's an excellent daily lunch buffet, and evening set menus are a great value. This is the best choice in town for a romantic atmosphere and fine dining.

This restaurant was the first out of a chain of six that has opened in tourist centres throughout Vietnam. The food here is Italian and all freshly prepared and the best thing about it is that it is eminently affordable. Not the most romantic eatery in the world, Good Morning Vietnam is nevertheless a good people-watching venue. There is also a Good Morning Thailand situated on 111B Nguyen Thien Thuat

Quan Cay Man

To get a better taste of a truly local dining scene, head to Quan Cay Man (Plum Tree Restaurant). The main restaurant has a plum tree growing on the roof, but most of the seating is on either side of the street nearby. The Lau Bo here is cheap and tasty. It's only open from 14:00 to 20:00 daily, so plan accordingly.

Sailing Club

Sailing Club is a great base for days based on the beach and for live evening entertainment. Basically, punters can rent a chair, order lunch and snacks, and have drinks delivered all day. People complain that it is overpriced and in comparison to local 'normal' prices the Sailing Club suffers a little but standards are higher and what's most important to a lot of visitors to Nha Trang is that the Sailing Club stays open later (02:00) than the competition.

Vietnam's elaborate cuisine has achieved international recognition, with such dishes as pho (noodle soup) gio lua (pork sausage) nem ran (spring rolls) and cha ca (fish balls), and cooking is itself seen as something of an artform.
