The finest dining in town, on a beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the Hau River, L'Escale serves a mix of French and Vietnamese dishes, accompanied by an extensive wine list and a jazz soundtrack, along with attentive service. The restaurant, in the Nam Bo Boutique Hotel, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but you can also slide into a seat at the bar and enjoy a drink and the view. Time your visit around 5 pm, when the light on the river is the most magical.
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.
This casual seafood restaurant is popular with locals but sees few tourists, so you may have trouble finding someone that speaks English. Once the young and enthusiastic staff help break the language barrier, you'll be rewarded with mountains of fresh and delicious seafood, which comes grilled, steamed, or fried.
Part of the highly acclaimed Nam Bo Boutique Hotel, this all-day café-restaurant serves a variety of traditional Mekong specialties and European staples in a casual French bistro--style setting. For local fare, try the lau (a hotpot served with rice noodles, lean pork, seafood, and a pile of vegetables) or, if you're feeling adventurous, the snake set (menu de serpent in French). The stylish, artsy interior is complemented by a superb riverfront setting and free Wi-Fi, making it a pleasant spot for a coffee break. Reservations are recommended at peak times, as large tour groups can arrive en masse.
There are two parts to the night market, one section selling clothes and tourist items and the other serving food from a variety of mobile stalls, with vendors who are well versed in the point-and-nod style of ordering. Most of the food can be munched while strolling and is more of a snack than a meal, but what's on offer can change from day to day, so it's best to just go and see what is available. Food stalls start appearing at around 6 pm each day.
A basic riverfront restaurant targeted firmly at the tourist trade, Phuong Nam does a range of Vietnamese favorites and some of the Mekong Delta's more exotic specialties, such as field mouse, snake, and crocodile. The interior is basic, with check tablecloths and chunky wooden furniture, and the fan-cooled restaurant is open to the street. If you don't fancy the adventurous options, there are also vegetarian, seafood, pork, and chicken dishes.
In a superb riverside setting inside Can Tho's beautiful old market hall, Sao Hom's friendly staff serves a range of Vietnamese and Western favorites, including the local version of cha gio (spring rolls). The service and venue are as relaxed as the river flowing by. Just a short walk from Ninh Kieu pier, Sao Hom is a great place to pause before exploring the local market beyond.
Even if you're not staying at the Azerai, it's worth taking the free speedboat over to the islet for a leisurely lunch or a refined dinner. The menu ranges from Mekong specialties to Mexican favorites (the tacos are particularly good), or you can order one of two four-course set menus (625,000d). There's also a comprehensive wine list and a slew of creative cocktails.
There are several dining options in this multilevel shopping complex adjacent to the Vinpearl Can Tho Hotel. Level 4 is where most of the eateries are, as well as an indoor kids' play center. Choices include Thai BBQ Buffet, GoGi House (Korean), Kitchi-Kitchi (Japanese), Rainbow Yoghurt, and a Lotteria burger outlet. Level 5 is home to a CGV cinema complex and an arcade section. Level 1 has mostly shopping, as well as a Chinese restaurant called Crystal Jade Kitchen.
