Western Restaurants in Hoi An, Vietnam
The Cargo Club Restaurant &
Patisserie 107-109 Tran Phu Street.
Restaurant, bakery & patisserie in the heart of the old town.
Seating out front, inside or on the roof terrace overlooking the river. The
$5 pork mignon with mash potato & berry gravy is the best meal in Hoi
An! All the food is good: $3 green mango salad, $3 cheese burger, and $2-3 sandwiches.
Excellent $2 Cau Lau & by far the best deserts in town. Owner Ms Vy
runs the best cooking class in town.
Mango Rooms

Mango Rooms cuisine is an eclectic mix of influences: Japanese technique, Latin American sauces & European herbs. He serves: tasty, well presented food in a funky atmosphere. $8 Seared Tuna, $8 Grilled Tiger Prawns & $8 Shrimps in Rum and Garlic Butter. With a tidy washroom, this is our favorite restaurant in Hoi an!
Hoi An Hai San Cafe

Hoi An Victoria Beach Resort on Cua Dai Beach.
Accessible by river and road this international resort has a quality western chef: Gustaf. Clearly a red meat lover, his rack of New Zealand lamb $20 and Aussie steak $20 are the best in Hoi An. His pizza $7 is also the best to be found. The drinks are expensive, $4 a pint of Larou Export. The beachside pool is worth a visit, they throw in giant ice cubes, to keep the water at 28°c.
Jenny's Bamboo
71 Tran Hung Dao St, Hoi An.
Jenny ran a B&B in Australia for
years. She certainly knows what westerners like in the morning! $3
Bacon, sausages, eggs, mashed potato and toast. She also rustles up:
$2 toasted sandwiches, $2 Beans on toast, $2 muesli, $2 baked potato,
$3 cheese burger and a $2 omelet. She might even let you make your
own $3 Bloody Mary. In our opinion this is the best English breakfast
in town.
Redbridge
accessible by riverboat.
Remote riverside restaurant close to Hoi An, most easily found by water taxi, Redbridge
cooking school & restaurant is in a stunning setting. Redbridge Nick offers
modern Vietnamese food
& an Aussie BBQ. The $5 main courses are best enjoyed tapas style. Relax
as the river goes by as quality, price & service come together. This is
a great venue for tour groups. The trip up the river is most interesting.
Before
& Now
on Le Loi Street, Hoi An.
One of the top night spots in the old
town. The manager: "Gung" has an eye for what the foreigners like. He plays
chilled out music by day, rock, hip hop & funk by night. The menu covers
mostly Italian food. $4 Pizzas & pasta dishes. You can escape the
crowds at the tables upstairs. They also offer good local food: $1 Cau Lau,
$1.20 Won Ton Soup, $2 Green Mango Salad. Spotless washrooms.
Good Morning Vietnam 34 Le Loi St, Hoi An.
This Italian-Vietnamese chain restaurant has a good location & cooks a mean
pizza. Their pasta is voted by Italian ex-pats as the best choice in town.
We especially like the pumpkin panzarotti & the large Pazza thin crust
pizza with mushrooms, onion & fresh chillies for $7US. The manager Massimo
is always entertaining. They serve a yummy white doughy bread with oil &
balsamic vinegar as soon as you are seated.
