Vietnamese restaurants in Mekong Delta

  1. A

    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.

    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.

    Bassac Restaurant

    The most sophisticated dining experience in Chau Doc is here at the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel. The menu includes some delightfully presented Vietnamese food, as well as a wonderful selection of international dishes to make the mouth water. Desserts are devilish or there is more simple fare at the Bamboo Bar.

    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.

  5. 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.

    Lam Hung Ky

    There’s a strip of Chinese restaurants on Chi Lang, including the busy Lam Hung Ky, complete with the usual strung-up ducks and chickens. It serves good food, despite the menu offering misleadingly unappetising items like ‘instant boiled assorted meats’.

    Mekong

    Located directly opposite the Victoria Chau Doc Hotel, this restaurant has a large covered section or an outdoor area in front of the gracefully decaying old villa. A good spot for Vietnamese greatest hits at affordable prices.

    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.

  9. Pho Cali

    This inviting noodle shop serves tasty bowls of pho and hot spring rolls. The English-speaking owner is a good source of island info.

    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.
