“Just beautiful” Reviewed August 12, 2013
Me and my partner went into the tea house tea because it looked so beautiful whilst walking past. Only once we were seated inside did we read about the tea house. It is a charity which supports people who are deaf and dumb. All the staff are lovely and friendly and you order your tea by filling in a form or holding up small words. The tea was amazing and the tea sets are stunning. Inside the cafe is absolutely beautiful and coupled with the atmosphere it is a great place to spend a few hours. We also went to the craft center and bought some handmade silver which again was gorgeous. It is an amazing place…. Beautiful surroundings and a beautiful cause. Visited August 2013

This is a peaceful tea house in the center of Hoi An. Whilst they specialize in Tea they also have a selection of coffee. The staff are all deaf and dumb and offer a great service with a smile. If you have kids there is a kids room and my daughter loved it Visited August 2013
“A beautiful serene place to sit & drink coffee!” Reviewed August 8, 2013
We sought out Reaching Out after reading the reviews on TA & we are so glad we did. After stepping into this lovely place we were warmly & silently greeted by the smiling ladies. My husband, toddler and i had coffee & ginger & chocolate cookies that were simply delicious. You can purchase a few souvenirs at the tea house or even better go around to the workshop where you will see first hand the amazing artisans at work. Here he will be also warmly greeted & can buy some beautiful handicrafts! A must see!! Visited July 2013

“Ice Cream heaven!!” Reviewed 23 March 2013
Walking into Enjoy restaurant is like walking into heaven: just so much choice of ice cream! I think they had about 50 different kind. But even better: so much choice of toppings to add on the ice cream! Myself being a big fan of chocolate and my son a fan of candies, we did enjoy so much adding all of that on our ice cream!
Definitely THE place to stop by if you love ice cream. Oh, and they also have great coffee! Visited March 2013
“Great food, great staff!! Italian Coffee at last!!!” Reviewed 12 August 2013
After travelling Asia for the past month I wasn’t expecting to find Lavazza coffee anywhere!! Great brand of Italian coffee!! We (30 year old couple) went last night after stumbling upon this spot. The staff are really friendly, good English and the smoothies are amazing!!!! I got Spaghetti Carbonara and my boyfriend had A burger ( not very adventurous of us but we were in the mood for something familiar!) The portions were similar to home (Ireland) and the customer service was great! It cost us €17 for Carbonara, Burger &Chips, 1 smoothie, 1 coke, 1 milkshake, and my boyfriend had a giant tub of icecream with toppings. The ice cream ended up being the most expensive item on the bill at €4 for a large helping. My Carbonara and fruit smoothie totaled €5 approx.
There’s good info on the wall about the products and ice creams and also 15 beautiful photographs by a French photographer now living in Vietnam called Rehahn.
My only recommendation would be that they include a sugar free ice cream/frozen yogurt considering they have 50 flavors of ice cream and sorbets!!( Less sugar used and lowfat option available with the sorbet) Visited August 2013
“A massive choice of amazing ice cream flavors” Reviewed 10 August 2013
This is a Vietnamese restaurant upstairs and an ice cream parlor downstairs. We only tried the latter but loved the very wide range of flavors. All were delicious but be careful, they’re sold by weight and it’s easy with such amazing choice to spend more than you intend! Visited July 2013

We had a wonderful lunch in The Morning Glory Restaurant. The smoked egg plant with
minced pork was superb! A mix of European and Vietnamese food. Located in the old town,
the service was good. The ambiance was also quite good. Would recommend you give it a try,

“Surprisingly Good Vietnamese Food” Reviewed 6 January 2012
The place serves excellent Vietnamese food with a modern twist. The flavors are light and not over-powering. As most Vietnamese food contains raw or lightly seasoned vegetables, their freshness really shines through. The western menu is not bad either. One of the family had pasta and it too was very good.

I had the pleasure of eating at Green Mango while I was on holiday in Hoi An. I was told about this place by a friend who lived in Vietnam for years and said this was a must try while visiting. She was correct. I am a chef myself and one of my goals during the trip was to try and learn everything I could about Vietnamese food. My meal at Mango was nothing less than wonderful. I was able to meet with the Manager, Mac and Chef/owner Hai who were both extremely gracious. Incidentally I had the blackened sea bass cooked perfectly and with heaps of flavor.

Description: An opulent experience to delight the senses, ancient faifo is a venue like no other. Combining elements of art, music and history, ancient faifo offers culture catered to the highest tastes with its menu of quintessential Vietnamese cuisine and innovative reinvention of ancient recipes.
After months at sea, with ships laden with cinnamon and cumin, the Portuguese docked in the ports of ancient Faifo, now known as Hội An, were astonished. Immersing themselves in the crumbling streets, astounded by the beauty of the rice paddies, the famous dyed silks, intricate ceramics and local spices, they began to establish the most exclusive trading port in all of Asia. It was only when visitors began sampling grandmother’s traditional fare, and infusing their own seasoning and style to time-tested Vietnamese recipes, that the infamous cuisine of Hội An was born.
Philosophy
At Ancient Faifo, we are proud to deliver unique and individual cuisine. Our chefs recreate the most traditional Vietnamese fare from our ancestors’ famous recipes using the highest-quality local ingredients. Traditional food preparation and methods are undertaken to return our clientele to Hội An’s colorful past, with a touch of global modernity. Our bakery delivers a fresh selection of gourmet sandwiches and home-style pastries, along with an assortment of verrine-style tapas, with Vietnamese and Western ingredients. Choice is always an option for our clientele, whether it be local or imported beef, rye or multigrain sandwich bread, or our wine list that features carefully selected fine wines from around the world. Our staff are delighted to serve you as your senses re-alight upon your journey into the heart of Ancient Faifo.
In the early 19th century, a girl was born to a life of artistry; her full name was Van Kim Huynh. Kim Van’s family helped found and develop the well-known Thanh Ha Pottery village. In their house, Kim Van’s parents displayed their pottery for the people of Hội An to see.
Kim Van, an only child grew up with a passion for pottery, helped her parents design much of the artwork that was shown in the house. As a young girl who was an apprentice of her mother, Van fell in love with a French artist. However, her parents fell ill, and she refused his love to prove her loyalty to the family. She decided not to get married and devoted her life to taking care of her ailing mother and father.
After her parents’ death, she continued her career as an artist. She had no children, so she gave her house, which she inherited from her parents, to a niece whose name is Lien Huong, who shared in the pottery trade.
It is this very house, which to this day still guards the timeless collection of art, that has now become the restaurant Ancient Faifo.
Be inspired and fulfill not only your physical appetite but your appetite for art, history and beauty as we present, for your pleasure, the collection of Le Kim Van and Lien Huong.
An opulent experience to delight the senses, Ancient Faifo is a venue like no other. Combining elements of art, music and history, Ancient Faifo offers culture catered to the highest tastes with its menu of quintessential Vietnamese cuisine and innovative redefinition of ancient recipes. Visit our classic café, where trained barristas create exquisite blends of coffee, and indulge in elegant verrine-style tapas dreamed up by our chefs. Venture into our rustic lounge for cocktails with a twist, swing in time to our nightly jazz band and piano soloists, or mingle with friends on the patio, watching the sun go down on the lantern-strewn streets of Hội An.
Ancient Faifo boasts a classic café, sky garden, and a VIP seating room for up to 20 people. Jazz musicians, piano soloists and traditional Vietnamese champa dancing and folk music set off every evening with vigor. An ancient collection of art is displayed throughout the premises, as well as a gallery exhibiting art from Vietnam’s newest and most exciting artists. Our two-story restored traditional house seats up to 110 guests, and is located in the heart of Hội An’s ancient town, a short walk from the Japanese bridge.
“Exceptional restaurant in Hoi An” Reviewed 9 August 2013
We specifically planned to go to Ancient Faifo after reading the reviews on TA and we are so glad we did. Probably our best meal we had in Hoi An. Yes it is more expensive than other restaurants but then again it is much better than other restaurants! Still a lot less expensive than Melbourne! The freshness, quality and presentation of the food was exceptional. The staff, ambience and setting made for a wonderful evening!

This is was one of the best dining experiences we had in Vietnam. Top class service with food served in the most elegant manner. The setting is romantic (we were sat on the second floor) and there is certainly an air of stepping back into time here. We were provided with a personal fan at the table as it was such a hot summers day. There is also a very good lunch menu and the setting is more casual on the ground floor.

This is a great restaurant in the heart of town. Yes it was more expensive than other restaurants but well worth it. It is not just another road side cafe but a proper restaurant like you would find at home. The ambience is wonderful, staff incredible and food was spectacular. We had two courses each with wine and cocktails for approx $60 Aus which is still a lot cheaper than back home. For approx 90 mins we felt as though we were in another place, away from the busy streets and it was certainly one of our best meals in all of Vietnam, if not our best! Highly recommend.

We have eaten at countless restaurants. I was so disappointed I did not find this restaurant earlier!!!!! It was by far the best meal I have ever experienced in all of Vietnam.
We had crispy pancakes, coriander prawns, stuffed squid, fresh spring rolls – the tastiest and freshest food we have ever had. The price was excellent – we ate with ourselves and our 2 children and had beers and cocktails and it was less than $30 AUD!!!!!

My husband and I dined at White Sail Cafe last night. We had been there for dinner two years ago and were suitably impressed by the food. We were not disappointed two years on. It is nothing special as far as decor goes. Rustic may be a good term to describe he setting but the food is a wonderful surprise. We ate the wontons, a fabulous steamed fish with chili and lemongrass and a vegetable clay pot. All of the meals were delicious. We watched a group of 8 arrive in the restaurant, sit down,looked around and then they left. Several of the existing diners looked at each other and said “They will regret the decision to leave. They will be hard pressed to find food like his at the price White Sail offers.” I would highly recommend a visit. Visited July 2013

I FELT IN LOVE WITH HOI AN town in the 1994 on my first visit to this place. After my first visit there, I returned to this town several times. Every time i’ve been there, I would love walking along the small nooks and corners of the cozy streets, then talking with local residents about their life. Once, i feel tired i can enjoy eating local foods at the local restaurants located aside the streets.
At my last visit to Hoi An, I went to eat local foods at Lantern Town Restaurant. Truly told, this was not my first time to taste local foods in Hoi An, yet I felt like my heart was caught when I was at Lantern Town Restaurant. Some special dishes that made me went for crazy are “My Quang” with chicken mushroom creamy sauce, “Banh Xeo” with homemade peanut sauce, banana pancake. And also the staffs of the restaurant are very kind and professional.

This gourmet Vietnamese restaurant served us up one of the best meals we had during our time in Vietnam. After visiting many Vietnamese cuisine restaurants and being disappointed by the flavours, portions and prices, Lantern Town was a delicious awakening.

A wonderful bamboo restaurant that grows its own vegetables using no pesticides. Not only is the food amazing, prices are low as the restaurant is family owned and operated. Take a tour in the vegetable garden and have a friendly chat with the super kind staff.
A bit tricky to find but follow these directions and you’ll get there easily:
Take Hai Ba Trung in the direction of the beach (leaving the old town) continue for +- 2km. You’ll go through rice fields on both sides of you.

We then make our way to the restaurant. On arrival we are given a delicious lotus seed and passion fruit drink and begin our tour of her beautiful herb and vegetable garden
After about 30 mins we begin cooking our chosen dishes and decide to eat after each dish is prepared rather than all 3 at the end. Everything is delicious & organic and Wit is such a lovely and engaging host. There were sweet chooks wandering around and we could hear an oink or two from the pig next door.
