Lonely Planet review for Y Thao Garden

Tucked in a quiet corner of the Citadel, a seven-course set menu is served among the huge palms on the garden terrace of a traditional Hué home that's brimming with antiques. This is Imperial cuisine at its fiddliest - peacocks with carved carrot heads and pineapple-stalk tails play pin-cushion to spring rolls on toothpicks, and green bean cakes are moulded to look like fruit and served on a branch.

The overall experience is enchanting - particularly on a steamy night with the rain battering the tropical garden. It's best to book ahead, as it can get busy

    Red Alert! Stay Away from this Restaurant

    gerberpollack does not recommend this,

    FYI,

    First time using a Rough Guide to tour a country. I've been happy with the city information with exception of the food recommendations. My girlfriend and I went to Vuon Y Thao in Hue Vietnam. I wouldn't make my worst enemy to eat the meal. I'm attempting to reconcile how the food at this restaurant has deteriorated so greatly since the guide book was published in Oct 2009. I wish there was a way to remove it from the book in order to save someone else from spending $30 on a meal fit for a pig.

    Thanks for your time,

    Andy Pollack
