Good seafood at a budgetted price. The dining area might be slightly noisy for some as this is the go-to place for the locals yet the quality of their dishes may justify the noises :) No specific recommendation here as we loved all of the dishes we have tried here!

A go-to place if you’re into fine-dining. The restaurant offers a range of French-Vietnamese fusion dishes created from the 100% local ingredients by the famous chef Didier Corlou (a quick search on internet would show you who he is). The bonus is that the menu is priced very reasonably (~700k/pax for 4 courses). Our recommendation is the pate, duck and chocolate cake.

Sightseeing

My Son is really worth a visit if you’re interested in the Champa culture and beliefs, which shaped the current vibes of Hoi An nowadays. Best way to get there is on pre-ordered taxi which cost around VND800k for a two-way trip. Best to visit on a cloudy or rainy day as it could get quite hot at the sanctuary on a sunny day.
