Eat & Drink

There are an enormous range of options for travelers to Nha Trang, whether you're looking for some delicious local dishes, great seafood or a bit of homely western grub. There are options for Vietnamese, Italian, Thai, French, Indian and more, and venues range from top class restaurants to roadside noodle stalls or the ladies on the beach that will grill you some of the freshest, tastiest seafood to be found, right next to your towel.

Nha trang grilled pork (Nem Nuong)
Grilled directly with the fire of coal brazier, fermented pork roll is served with raw herbs as well as dipping sauce with pickled green papaya.

Where to eat
Nem Nuong Vu Thanh A n - 15 Le Loi St.. The restaurant is crowded with customers from late afternoon till midnight.




Nha Trang fish noodle (Bun Ca)

It’s “bun cha ca” broth, which is made from boiled sailfish and mackerel’s bones, that determines the exclusive taste of this specialty. Different from the fatty boiled pork bones’ broth; “bun cha ca” broth is sweet and savory, especially suitable for people who are going on a diet. A bowl of Nha Trang’s “bun cha ca” also contained jellyfish and steamed sailfish.

Where to eat
Bun ca Nam Beo - Block B2- Phan Boi Chau St.


Lac Canh’s Grilled Beef
The secret of making perfect grilled beef lies on the recipe of mixing beef with honey and more than ten kinds of spices. The recipe is handed down from generation to generation, and only known to specific members of restaurant owner’s family. Customers are free to grill the beef and enjoy the dish in their own way.

Where to eat
Han Hon Minh restaurant (opened since 1963) - 44 Nguyen Binh Khiem St.


Nha Trang seafood
There is a variety of food in Nha Trang but seafood is most people's first choice as Nha Trang is a coastal city. Eating freshly cooked seafood on the beach is something special in Nha Trang. There are lots of vendors selling seafood on the beach. They generally buy their fresh seafood in the morning and start their business at 11am the same day. In the afternoon, there are also lots of seafood stalls along the main street, Tran Phu Street. They have lots of fresh lobster, big sea crabs, squid and many other sea snails and clams.

Where to eat: Chieu Anh Restaurant- 86 Tran Phu St.

“Can” cake (Banh can)
“Banh can” is a popular snack in Central and Southern regions of Vietnam, including rice flour, lard, spring onion and eggs. The cakes are sold in pair, and served with special sweet and sour dipping sauce made from Nha Trang’s famous fish sauce, and raw vegetables.
Sitting around the warm fire of coal brazier, watching the cook skillfully pouring flour into moulds , and then enjoying hot “banh can” in a windy day is an unforgettable experience for anyone when in Nha Trang.

Where to eat: Crossroad of Le Thanh Ton and Nguyen Thien Thuat Street.
