  • 1. 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, Vietnam
    0296-386–5010

    Known For

    • River views
    • Finest dining in town
    • Attentive service
  • 2. 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, Vietnam
    088-811--6654-cell phone

    Known For

    • Slow-cooked meat
    • Creative pasta dishes
    • Knowledgeable staff
  • 3. 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, Vietnam
    0254-4355--0909

    Known For

    • Ocean views
    • Vietnamese dishes
    • Delicious spring rolls
  • 4. Hoa Tuc

    $$$ | District 1

    The name translates as opium poppy, and this chic little eatery is in a corner of the former La Manufacture d'Opium, the French-controlled opium refinery and warehouse. It offers contemporary Vietnamese cuisine with knockout flavors and a wine list that works with the local cuisine. The art deco interior is elegant, with wrought-iron chairs, cast-iron lamps, hand stenciling, and a leafy outdoor terrace. Standout dishes include mustard-leaf rolls; pink pomelo, squid, and crab salad; and soft shell crabs in green rice batter with passion fruit sauce. The kids' menu will also make mini foodies happy.

    74/7 Hai Ba Trung St., Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
    028-3825–1676

    Known For

    • Art deco interior
    • Vietnamese fare
    • Outdoor dining
  • 5. La Badiane

    $$$ | Hoan Kiem District

    Bringing inspired French cuisine to the heart of Hanoi, impassioned chef Benjamin Rascalou, who trained at several prestigious restaurants in Paris, has created a menu with flair. Main entrées, such as the sea bass meunière or seafood tagliatelle, will set you back more than most restaurants in Hanoi, but the flavors are worth the splurge. The desserts, such as the coffee mousse with pistachio ice cream and chocolate truffle, are almost impossible to pass up. Those who order the six-course tasting menu (1,500,000d) can elevate the experience with an optional wine pairing.

  • 6. Le Gecko

    $$$

    Like Sapa itself, Le Gecko bears noticeable French influence with a menu that features a host of bistro classics. There's a comfortable bar area that is popular in the evenings, while the outside terrace is a great spot for people-watching. There's nothing particularly fussy about either the restaurant or the home-style cuisine, so don't expect fancy sauces of Parisian haughtiness.

    033 Xuan Vien, Sapa, Lao Cai, Vietnam
    0214-387–1898

    Known For

    • Cozy atmosphere
    • Rich beef bourguignon
    • Casual fare
  • 7. Little Faifo

    $$$

    Fusing art, music, history, and cuisine, this 19th-century house in Hoi An's Old Quarter has been beautifully restored and offers silver service at remarkable prices. Slightly overshadowed by the setting, the menu is Vietnamese-meets-modern cuisine with such dishes as bean sprout dumplings, mango and lotus salad, caramelized pork, and wok-fried ancient noodles.

    66 Nguyen Thai Hoc St., Hoi An, Quang Nam, Vietnam
    0235-391--7444

    Known For

    • Four-course set menu
    • Amazing balcony seating
    • Art collection
  • 8. Luk Lak

    $$$ | Hoan Kiem District

    Serving countryside dishes with a refreshing modern twist, Luk Lak is a welcome addition to Hanoi's dining scene. Many of the dishes are head chef Madame Binh's take on recipes from a particular part of the country, such as the ga nuong Tu Le (grilled chicken with sticky rice from Yen Bai Province) and tom xoc toi Quang Tri (prawn with lemongrass and chili from Quang Tri Province). The minimalist design with flashes of Hanoi's colonial heritage serves to enhance an already exceptional dining experience.

    Known For

    • Rare, delicious traditional dishes
    • Modern interiors
    • Exemplary service
  • 9. Luna Pub Danang

    $$$

    One of Danang's hippest hangouts, this industrial-style, open-fronted warehouse pub-restaurant wouldn't look out of place in New York City. The ever-changing menu of authentic Italian fare includes specials such as risotto alla Milanese, pizza, pasta, and steaks. Come evening, the rustic brick walls and gas station–themed bar make for a different experience altogether.

    $$$

    The sister restaurant of the Maison de Tet in Hanoi, Maison de Sapa is the place to relax and unwind for a few hours and enjoy some delicious food and drinks. Specializing in fresh, farm-to-table ingredients, the menu is always changing to reflect the finest seasonal options. The bohemian decor is all made in-house and there are plans to create natural herbal baths upstairs, as well as host live-music events.

  • 11. Quan Ut Ut

    $$$ | District 1

    This American barbecue joint is wildly popular among locals, who love the tasty ribs, the craft beer, the cheeky menu, and the laid-back vibe. It was set up by an American, Australian, and French trio, who charm the local dining scene with shared plates, communal picnic-style tables, stripped-back surroundings, and reasonable prices. The most popular menu items are the ribs and the big, spicy Italian sausage, each including three sides. You can choose whether to eat with a knife and fork or chopsticks. A second outlet is at 47 Xuan Thuy in District 2.

    $$$ | District 1

    One of the hippest eateries in town, the Racha Room serves up Asian-inspired fusion food as well as artisanal cocktails (prepared by a mixologist imported from Melbourne, Australia) in a small but groovy space, with exposed brick walls, graffiti art, and funky music. The place has proved a hit with locals, expats, and travelers alike for its bold flavors and overall grooviness, so reservations are recommended.

  • 13. Rory's Beach Bar

    $$$

    Tasty bar food is available here day and night—think pizza, burgers, panini, salads, stir-fries, and pasta, served in a giant boat-shaped restaurant. Hosts Rory and Yoon preside over the café/bar, which has a genuinely welcoming atmosphere and fabulous views that stretch to Cambodia.

    Cay Sao, Phu Quoc, Kien Giang, Vietnam

    Known For

    • Good fun
    • Friendly service
    • Western-style bar food
  • 14. The Lighthouse

    $$$

    The newest restaurant on Can Tho's tourist strip is also the city's most stylish, with elegant and comfortable furniture and a coveted terrace with views of the river. The menu is divided between European and Asian and both sections offer plenty of variety (try the chicken braised in coconut). You can also drop by for a coffee or cake, which are baked on-site.

    120 Hai Ba Trung, Can Tho, Can Tho, Vietnam
    0292-3819--994

    Known For

    • Pretty park views
    • Eclectic menu
    • Baked goods
  • 15. The Spice House

    $$$

    Cassia Cottage Resort's in-house restaurants have romantic settings: beside a pond filled with water lilies in a manicured tropical garden or right on the beach. This restaurant, which specializes in Vietnamese and international cuisine, uses fresh local produce, prepared with care and a bit of a French flourish. This is a great option for a special evening that won't break the bank.

    KP 7, Phu Quoc, Binh Thuan, Vietnam

  • 16. Bale Well Restaurant

    $$$

    Local families who come in droves to this popular no-frills diner make out-of-town visitors feel warmly welcome, even if you don't master the art of rolling the perfect banh xeo. There’s no menu; just pull up a stool and within minutes you’ll be presented with pork skewers, crispy pancakes stuffed with bean sprouts, deep-fried shrimp spring rolls, rice paper, various greens, a satay-style dip, and an array of condiments. Go hungry; portions are large, but the 175,000d set price is not.

    45 Ngo 51 Tran Hung Dao, Hoi An, Quang Nam, Vietnam
    023-5386--4443

    Known For

    • Tourist spot
    • Roll-your-own rolls
    • Delicious local food
  • 17. Bamboo Cottages & Restaurant

    $$$

    The in-house restaurant at this friendly eco-lodge serves fresh local seafood, vegetarian dishes and lau (hotpots), which can be enjoyed with one of Phu Quoc's best views. Don't miss the house specialty, minted tempura shrimp, or book a beach barbecue for two. It's wise to book ahead before visiting, as the restaurant has only enough electricity for one refrigerator on-site, limiting the inventory of ingredients.

    Vung Bau Bay, Duong Dong, Kien Giang, Vietnam
    0297-2810–345

    Known For

    • Ocean views
    • Eco-friendliness
    • Fresh seafood
  • 18. Brother's Café

    $$$

    The standard but good Vietnamese food served here—spring rolls and fried rice—may not be spectacular, but the setting is: a beautifully restored colonial villa on the banks of the Thu Bon River. In the evenings you can sit and sip a drink in the lovely garden out back as you watch local fisherfolk ply their trade. The stylish interior has ceiling beams, tile floors, and classic Chinese-style wooden furniture.

    0235-391--4150

    Known For

    • River view

  • 19. 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, Vietnam
    0252-384--7009

    Known For

    • Splendid oceanfront location
