Fodor's Expert Review Sapa Essence

Utilizing the best local produce for a menu that is as imaginative as any in Sapa, this venue is deserving of its popularity. While many of its neighboring restaurants are content to play it safe, Sapa Essence pushes the envelope with delicious Vietnamese creations such as claypot eggplant and tofu, and beef with lemongrass and chili. Extra touches such as free fresh fruit and friendly service earn it additional kudos.
