1. 4P's Pizza
$$ | District 1 |The centerpiece of this stylish, immensely popular Japanese-owned restaurant is not a sushi bar but a brick oven, and the focus here is Japanese-Italian fusion, targeted at the Vietnamese palate but equally loved by out-of-towners. You can opt for classic creations such as prosciutto margarita or something a little more experimental, like flower pizza (with edible blooms such as pumpkin, leek, and daylily), teriyaki chicken with seaweed or salmon miso cream. Italian-style appetizers and pasta dishes are also available, as is a cheese platter featuring handmade cheeses from the 4Ps' cheese factory near Dalat. Customers who can't get a seat will stand by the bar just for a slice of the mouthwatering pizza. Reservations should be made days in advance—yes, it's that popular. This restaurant is the original, with a growing number of locations in some of Vietnam's biggest cities.

2. Anan Saigon
$$$$ | District 1 |Voted one of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants in 2021, Anan Saigon puts a whimsically modern twist on Vietnamese street food. Talented Vietnamese-American chef-owner Peter Cuong Franklin is credited for pioneering Vietnamese fusion cuisine, often elevating Vietnamese flavors with French cooking techniques. The main restaurant is on the ground floor but also explore the upper floors to Nhau Nhau (third floor) for cocktails with an Old Saigon vibe, Pot Au Pho noodle bar (fourth floor), and the rooftop bar (sixth floor) for views of the neighboring wet market backed by one of Saigon's tallest buildings.
89 Ton That Dam, Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam090-479–2920Known For
- Modern Vietnamese cuisine
- The off-menu $100 banh mi and $100 pho
- Amazing chef's tasting menu

3. B&B Café
$ | |One of Mui Ne’s best kept secrets is the beachside B&B Café. It feels out of place on the expansive grounds of Ca Ty Resort, but you can hang out here all day watching the kitesurfers and sipping reasonably priced fresh squeezed juices, blended coffees, and flavored sodas in shaded huts steps from the beach. The wooden chairs are hard, though, so bring a towel and sit on the beach or the grass. Meals can be ordered from adjacent restaurant.
6 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Phan Thiet, Binh Thuan, VietnamKnown For
- Prime beachside location
- Lots of space to relax
- Reasonably priced drinks
-
4. Bancong
$$ | Hoan Kiem District |Bancong means "balcony" in Vietnamese (from the French balcon), and this multistory 1940s art deco mansion has plenty of them. The outdoor spaces overflow with flowers and pot plants, and make good spots to watch scenes of the Old Quarter unfold below. The menu is rather muddled, but the Vietnamese dishes, from bun cha to bun bo nam bo, are reliably good. So is the ca phe cot dua (iced coconut coffee), a Hanoi specialty.
2 Dinh Liet, Hanoi, Ha Noi, VietnamKnown For
- Iced coconut coffee
- Historic architecture
- Good bun cha
-
5. Banh Cuon Hai Nam
$ | District 3 |Always packed with locals, this narrow eatery serves up Ho Chi Minh City's best banh cuon (steamed rice flour crepes stuffed with minced pork and wood ear mushrooms) and an excellent version of the central Vietnamese banh beo (steamed rice flour pancakes topped with dried prawn). Just order the first three items on the menu and you'll be in foodie heaven in no time.
11A Cao Thang, Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam028-3839–3394Known For
- Very local service (little English is spoken here)
- Tasty local food
- Limited menu

6. Banh Cuon Thanh Van
$ | Hoan Kiem District |This simple eatery compensates for its lack of sophistication with giant-size portions of the delicate banh cuon, steamed rice rolls stuffed with ground pork and chopped wood-ear mushrooms. Watch the resident cooks painstakingly roll out their sheets of rice noodle and spoon on the filling and feel your mouth start to water. There are three options: chicken, pork, or shrimp and pork. All three are worth trying.
12 Hang Ga, Hanoi, Ha Noi, VietnamKnown For
- Freshly made banh cuon
- Local favorite
- Laid-back eating
-
7. Banh Mi Phuong
$ | |Madam Phuong, the shop owner, serves from a simple little take-away counter, next door to a bakery on the edge of Old Town. When famed foodie Anthony Bourdain visited, he declared the banh mi served here to be quite possibly the best in Vietnam; and he might just have been right. What you get here is a symphony in a sandwich, and though both her menu and popularity have grown, Phuong is still serving up the same secret family recipes and silence-inducing sandwiches. Bourdain's favorite banh mi deluxe is a pork feast consisting of a mouth-melting slow-roasted five-spiced fillet, a rich peppery pate, a handful of herbs, pickled vegetables, and finished off with a generous scoop of mayonnaise, smoked chili sauce, and messy fried egg. Phuong also has vegetarian alternatives; ask for banh mi chay.
2b Phan Chu Trinh, Hoi An, Quang Nam, Vietnam090-574--3773Known For
- Delicious banh mi
- Old Town staple
- Chef recommended
-
8. 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
-
9. Bar200
$$ | Con Son |More of a café than a bar, this tiny place makes fantastic sandwiches, salads, and pizzas, making their own pizza dough, sandwich bread, and burger buns in house. The interior is simple, yet welcoming, with wooden blinds, rattan tables and chairs, and photos and propaganda art on the walls. The tiny veranda is a great spot from which to watch Con Son daily life. In high season, it's worth calling first to make sure you get a table.
Khu 6, Nguyen Van Linh, Con Dao Islands, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Vietnam097-830--3025Known For

10. Bassac Restaurant
$$$ | |The old-world charm of the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel extends to its in-house restaurant, which serves Western and Asian cuisine in a stylish riverfront setting. Take a seat on the terrace to enjoy the sunset (and happy hour at the bar) and the attentive but discreet service. This is the priciest place in town, but the food, the staff, and the river views make it worthwhile. Reservations are recommended because sometimes the restaurant hosts bus tours.
1 Le Loi, Chau Doc, An Giang, Vietnam0296-386–5010Known For
- River views
- Finest dining in town
- Attentive service
-
11. Bicycle Up Cafe
$ | |A cute and quirky little coffee shop serving a range of drinks, including beer, cakes, ice cream, and yogurt, Bicycle Up is a great place to rest and recharge with a book (check out the homemade book light fittings), a coffee, or a fruit smoothie while listening to mellow music. This quiet refuge is perfect for a rainy day.
82 Truong Cong Dinh, Dalat, Lam Dong, Vietnam0263-370–0177Known For
- Cozy atmosphere
- Excellent coffee
- Street art outside
-
12. Bomb Crater Bar
$ | |A great place to stop for a midday drink and refreshing splash in the river, this bar sits between two large bomb craters left during the American war. Run jointly by a Vietnamese couple and Australian couple, the bar is halfway between Phong Nha village and Farmstay Village. In the winter they’ll also keep a fire raging to warm you up on your Bong Lai Valley bike tour.
Cu Lac 1, Phong Nha, Quang Binh, Vietnam036-541--0230Known For
- Gin and tonics
- Hammocks
- Vietnamese snacks
-
13. Bun Bo Nam Bo Bach Phuong
$ | Hoan Kiem District |This venue is spotlessly clean, and despite its popularity with tourists is still very much the real deal. Like all the best restaurants purveying local favorites, this place specializes in one dish only: bun bo nam bo (a southern beef and noodle dish). Translated as "southern style rice noodles with beef," this mixture of vermicelli noodles, beef, lettuce, cucumber, shallots, bean sprouts, cilantro, and chopped peanuts is more commonly found in Ho Chi Minh City. Be sure to mix the concoction thoroughly with your chopsticks to experience the alchemy created by the small serving of broth-drenched greens at the base of the bowl.
67 Hang Dieu St., Hanoi, Ha Noi, Vietnam0243-923–0701Known For
- Generous portions of their signature dish
- Southern style cuisine
- Local favorite
-
14. Capture Vietnam
$$ | |Quite possibly serving the best Western food in all of Vietnam, this café captures the hearts of all who eat here. There is nothing on the menu that disappoints, but the complete winners are the veggie lasagna, meatball subs, and carrot cake. Opened by an American, vegetarian chef, Capture even has hard-to-find items like bagels and ginger beer. They are located right next to the Easy Tiger.
Son Trach, Phong Nha, Quang Binh, Vietnam0164-515–3869Known For
- Good vegetarian options
- Wood-fired pizzas
- Perfect service
-
15. Cousins
$$ | Tay Ho District |The outdoor area of this French-influenced venue is an ideal place for some very romantic dining and expat gatherings. The interior is equally convivial with stripped pine tables and wooden furniture. The food is a mixed bag of European dishes prepared and served with flare. They've also opened two more locations at 58 Dao Tan and 19 Doan Nhu Hai.
15 Ngo 45 To Ngoc Van, Hanoi, Ha Noi, Vietnam083-867--0098-cell phoneKnown For
- Imported pork belly
- Wine and Champagne options
- Rotating menus
-
16. Cugini
$$$ | Tay Ho District |The owner of Cousins (cugini means cousins in Italian) partnered with Italian chef Nico Ceccomoro to create an authentic dining experience at decent prices. Classy red and black interiors, sensual paintings, and a tree-shaded balcony make this location perfect for a date night. The menu is updated and expanded regularly, but you can’t go wrong with the pizzas or pasta, especially the tortellini with ricotta. There are also several fine wines to choose from.
67 To Ngoc Van, Hanoi, Ha Noi, Vietnam088-811--6654-cell phoneKnown For
- Slow-cooked meat
- Creative pasta dishes
- Knowledgeable staff
-
17. Ganh Hao
$$$ | |This sprawling seafront eatery is regarded as the best seafood place in town. Like many Vietnamese places, the interior design takes a back seat to the food and the view. It's pricier than the more local joints farther along Tran Phu Street, but you get what you pay for, which in this case, aside from the great food, is English-speaking staff, an English menu, and servers used to dealing with international tourists.
3 Tran Phu, Vung Tau, Ba Ria-Vung Tau, Vietnam0254-4355--0909Known For
- Ocean views
- Vietnamese dishes
- Delicious spring rolls
-
18. Habakuk
$ | Hoan Kiem District |Serving creamy cappuccinos and delicious lattes in calm and quiet surroundings, Habakuk might be the best spot in the city for withdrawing from Hanoi's chaos with a book and a drink. Though best known for its excellent coffee, Habakuk morphs into a bistro serving delicious lasagna in the evenings.
4 Ngo Phan Huy Chu, Hanoi, Ha Noi, Vietnam086-711--5451Known For
- Barista courses
- Tasty lasagna
- Quiet setting
-
19. Hanoi Social Club
$$ | Hoan Kiem District |The main draw here is the convivial, bohemian atmosphere. Housed in a stunning 1920s French-colonial villa in a quiet part of the Old Quarter, the café is rustic and warm, with original tiles, wooden furnishings, and high ceilings. The menu has undergone quite an improvement in recent years, with fabulous breakfast and brunch options (the laksa is particularly good). An adequate list of wine and beers and regular music and art events make the café a decent bet in the evenings, too.
6 Hoi Vu St., Hanoi, Ha Noi, Vietnam024-3938–2117Known For
- Laksa
- Hip decor
- Live shows
-
20. Happy Heart Cafe
$$ | |There’s nothing fancy about this charity-run diner, just good Western food at cheap prices and heartwarming service. Repurposed from an English center, this café employs minority and deaf workers, and is a favorite among expats and visitors. Most come for the cause, but return for the vegetarian chili, English breakfast, or burgers and pizzas.
57 Ngo Thi Sy, Danang, Da Nang, Vietnam2036-388--8384Known For
- Helping the deaf community
- Good breakfasts
- Vegetarian chili
