Restaurants in Can Tho

  1. A

    Mekong

    Right opposite the ‘tin man’ statue, this has long been a travellers’ favourite thanks to a good blend of local and international food at very reasonable prices. It’s the closest thing to a riverfront bar by night with a few tables spilling onto the street.

    La Ca

    This stylish barbecue restaurant is fun, unless you happen to be a suckling pig, the house speciality. Staff are on rollerskates to speed up service.

    Quan Com 16

    This long-running place is a bit of a Can Tho institution with locals. It has relocated down the road, but thankfully the recipe remains the same: piles of freshly cooked fish, meat and vegetable dishes and fast service.

  7. Thanh Thuy Christian

    This goat-meat specialty restaurant serves traditional curried goat or if you’re feeling a bit lively, try the goat-scrotum hotpot. The restaurant is a few kilometres out of town. Look for the sign on your left, just beyond the junction with Ð Tran Hoang Na.

    Nam Bo

    When it comes to setting, this restaurant has it, housed in an elegantly restored shophouse overlooking the river. The menu offers well-presented Vietnamese dishes as well as some affordable international offerings or you can just sit on the terrace and enjoy a glass of wine.

    Hop Pho Cafe

    For discount designer dining, look no further than this stylish cafe-restaurant. Choose from indoor or outdoor, upstairs or downstairs – this place is huge, as is the drinks list. Standard Vietnamese fare at fair prices, affordable drinks and free wi-fi. Note that food service stops around 9pm.

    Sao Hom

    Set in the (now upmarket) former market, Sao Hom has an atmospheric riverside setting. The menu includes Vietnamese, international and some fusion dishes, including crispy spring rolls for a change and some tandoori dishes. It is very popular at lunch and remains one of Can Tho’s most alluring spots.

    Cappuccino

    This Italian restaurant may not look that stylish but looks can be deceiving, as the menu features some delicious dishes at absurdly affordable prices. Pastas, risottos, pizzas, plus US$4 mains such as veal escalope with mushroom sauce. Oh and did we mention the Mexican and Vietnamese food, plus the tempting tiramisu?

    Restaurant Alley

    If you fancy skipping the main tourist scene on the riverfront, then try this small alley between Ð Dien Bien Phu and Ð Phan Dinh Phung where there are about a dozen local restaurants scattered on both sides of the street. Barbecued meats, seafood hotpots and simple vegetables, it’s all here.

    Phuong Nam

    Next door to the Mekong, this place offers a similar ambience, but has the slight advantage of an upstairs terrace for people-watching.
