Fodor's Expert Review Le Pont

The secret to having a good meal at this Cat Ba restaurant/hostel/hotel is ordering what is local and fresh. Pass on the steak and order instead whole fish, prawns, squid, or the house specialty: seafood hotpot. This Vietnamese version of fondue comes with fresh vegetables, noodles, and every type of seafood imaginable—simply drop them into a pot of boiling broth at your table.
