V Cafe
A travellers’ favourite, this cute bistro hung with Chinese lanterns serves a mix of Asian and Western mains. Service is very good and you can choose dessert from the small spread on the counter.

Art Cafe
Owned by an artist whose work adorns the walls, this elegant, bamboo-accented eatery has intimate tables and soothing soft lighting. Linger over a glass of wine to admire the artwork. The menu features Vietnamese dishes with a twist, including plenty of vegetarian options.

C
Thanh Thuy Blue Water Restaurant
With an unbeatable location right on the lake, this restaurant serves a mixed-up menu of mostly Cantonese fare, with some Vietnamese and Western dishes as well (fancy some pizza with your dim sum?). The food is all right but the view and vibe are what people come for.

D
Stop & Go Cafe
This little bohemian oasis is run by a beret-wearing poet in the front room of his house. He’ll happily recite his poetry while serving you home-made cake or (if you’re female) proffering a flower from his abundant garden.

E
Lotus Restaurant
Right by Hoa Binh Square, this restaurant has rooftop terrace seating as well as an enclosed dining area with Chinese-influenced decor; the former is better for people-watching; the latter is a warmer option in winter. The food is excellent and service is prompt, though they don’t speak much English.

Le Rabelais
For fine French dining, the signature restaurant at the Sofitel is the place to go. The impressive dining room oozes gentility at every turn. Leave the kids at home if they’re under 12, and while away the night like the French might have, with a digestif and live piano music.

Peace Cafe
Attached to Peace Hotel, this noisy cafe is always packed, no doubt because the women who run it do their darnedest to round up every passing traveller. There’s no hassle once you’re seated and it’s a good place to meet other backpackers (and in the day, Easy Riders too).

Long Hoa
A cosy bistro-style place, run by a Francophile owner and dressed up with images of France. Westerners come here for the Vietnamese food Vietnamese come here to try the steaks. Top off your meal with a glass of Dalat wine or some home-made yoghurt.

HNL
Painted in kooky pastels and with a classic motorbike as its centrepiece, this cosy restaurant serves interesting Vietnamese dishes – along with pizza to keep the kids happy. If you’re feeling all revved up after dinner, there’s a karaoke lounge upstairs.
