Dining - Hoi An | ArrivalGuides.com

DiningGuide was updated: May 24, 2024

Vietnam is known for staggering variations in cuisine, each region and major settlement boasting its own unique specialities that are hard to come by elsewhere in the country. Hoi An is especially known for its varied, scrumptious street food, which is beautifully showcased along roadsides during Night Market hours. Some of the eats not to be missed are 'bahn mi' (baguette sandwiches with various ingredients), 'cao lau' pork noodles, the local variety of chicken rice 'com ga', white rose dumplings 'bánh bao bánh vac', and the obligatory hit 'bahn xeo': a crispy pancake packed with a selection of proteins and vegetables, to be dipped into fermented peanut sauce.

Vy's Market Restaurant

Vy's is an exciting delve into Vietnamese street food, its many varieties served at several open-kitchen style indoor stands. The entire experience is carefully manicured and completely sanitary, which takes away possible worry associated with eating off the side of the roads. There are plenty of options to choose from, including 'classics' such as bahn mi to more peculiar delights such as half-hatched duck eggs, silkworm and jellyfish salad, or braised pig brain; one can even choose to have a typical local worker's meal.

Miss Ly

Come outside of rush hour (prepare for a wait otherwise) at this genuine restaurant serving up traditional local specialities in a (traditionally) non-air-conditioned space. The restaurant enjoys great popularity: no wonder, for the 'cao lau', white rose dumplings, 'bahn mi' and spring rolls it serves up could go for much more than their price tag.
