3 Best Restaurants in Halong Bay and North-Central Vietnam, Vietnam

A small and cute café full of travelers and cats, Like Coffee is a hit with its simplicity. The chai tea latte and fluffy pancakes are excellent, but it’s the milk shakes and egg coffee that bring repeat business.

This intricately designed café is a feast for the eyes. Its sharp angles, giant staircases, and glowing skylights make it feel more like an architectural display than a place to eat, but the coffee and sandwiches are worth the visit. The coffee is good and there is ample seating.

Trung and Linda Nguyen accomplished a dream by opening this excellent restaurant and coffee shop across the river from Bai Chay in Hong Gai. The couple purchases their beans from the mountainous Dalat and roasts them on-site. Their big goal is to improve coffee culture in the city and show Vietnam how other countries drink coffee. The staff loves to help travelers discover the area.
