  • 1. BKK Trendy Thai

    $$

    This Thai eatery was opened by Daniel Takianchan, a native of Bangkok, in 2006. With a big menu and wine on display from around the world, the open wooden dining area welcomes many expats and tourists. The tom yam koong is delicious and the chicken pandanus—chicken wrapped in pandan leaves and deep-fried— is not to be missed.

    The secret to having a good meal at this Cat Ba restaurant/hostel/hotel is ordering what is local and fresh. Pass on the steak and order instead whole fish, prawns, squid, or the house specialty: seafood hotpot. This Vietnamese version of fondue comes with fresh vegetables, noodles, and every type of seafood imaginable—simply drop them into a pot of boiling broth at your table.

    $

    A small and cute café full of travelers and cats, Like Coffee is a hit with its simplicity. The chai tea latte and fluffy pancakes are excellent, but it’s the milk shakes and egg coffee that bring repeat business.

  • 5. Minh Toan Restaurant - Father Cooking

    $$

    A family operation, Minh Toan is located very close to the Tam Coc boat harbor. Tourists keep the kitchen quite busy, so be prepared for a slightly longer wait when the restaurant is full. Vegetarians can rest easy with the fried tofu in tomato sauce and veggie spring rolls; just keep repeating “An Chay," which means, "no meat."

  • 6. No. 1986 Cafe

    $

    This intricately designed café is a feast for the eyes. Its sharp angles, giant staircases, and glowing skylights make it feel more like an architectural display than a place to eat, but the coffee and sandwiches are worth the visit. The coffee is good and there is ample seating.
