It is small and looks like grandma's living room. It's cute. The Hue dishes are just tasty, spicy and great. It is not Westernized food. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Ong Tao
Excellent traditional Hue food, try the meat rolls (wrapped in mint leaves) or the fried spring rolls. Incredibly crunchy. Not too crowded. On the first floor. All dishes available as small and big portions, so you can order a few.

Quán Cơm Chay - Nhật Lệ
Popular vegetarian restaurant. You only need to let the owner know if you want a rice or noodles dish and she would do the magic for you. The soy milk and lotus seed milk are also very refreshing. Delicious grilled vermicelli.

Đường bánh canh Hàn Thuyên
The food is good, sold until late at night so everyone can eat comfortably. 15,000-20,000 dong for a bowl (April 2022). Sitting on the roadside is cool.

Hông Thùy
Honestly one of the best places to eat in all of Vietnam. It's great street sea food, you choose the type of snail that will be served to you with noodles and vegetables, and a side dish of roasted shrimps / shells / langostinos depending on your choice (30.000 - 60.000 dong depending on which one you choose). Chosen by locals and no English spoken, so you'll probably have to use a translation app, but strongly recommended. Try to go early because they can run out of food (happened at 20.15).
