Like so many of the restaurants in Hoi An, it would appear that this place has not survived covid. It is closed up and padlocked with the signage gone. Great shame!

This was a great find down a small lane near to the Japanese Bridge. We ate out in the pretty little garden and it was so good we went back 3 more times during our stay in Hoi An. Very good value for money, delicious...food with plenty of options, and lovely staff.More

Sooo peaceful amongst the madness of Hoi An. Enjoyed an iced Cappuccino and want to stay forever. Good looks like it could be the best ever.. sadly no time to try

We were ecstatic to find a vegetarian friendly place that offers local cuisine options! And at a great value too. We ended up going various times during our time in Hoi An. Lots of delicious options, great service and in a quiet little street away...from the crowds.More

This is a nice little spot for a drink. They had a few food items on the menu too. The Americano coffee was large and delicious (39 VND). We shared an incredible smoothie bowl (pictured) for 89 VND. The smoothie bowl was loaded with sliced...strawberries, pineapple, banana, coconut, mango, almonds and granola. We will definitely return to this place.More

Situated in a quiet alley away from traffic, we enjoyed a delightful lunch in a courtyard setting. The pork & prawn spring rolls are made fresh and a generous 4- portion serve. The aubergine- mushroom dish was tasty. There are many vego options. Its quiet...enough to talk here. The coffee was great too. Full marks.More

If you are looking for a quiet place for lunch or dinner in Old Hoi An then this is the spot. Vegan friendly menu. Excellent menu reasonably priced. Relaxing courtyard. Tasty high quality food. I had the deep fried tofu - twice. A real treat...as they use a silken tofu. Expertly done.More

What a wonderful setting for a meal, set not far from the Japanese bridge, this restaurant offers such a wonderful choice of menus. We are a mixed family of six, three British and three Vietnamese adults. The atmosphere was great and the friendly staff were...attentive and obliging. Clean environment and wonderful service, a credit to the owners who operate this beautiful restaurant. We will certainly return and try as many different meals that we can. By far the best restaurant in the whole of the Ancient town! The meals are affordable and yet they are superbly prepared and tasty.More

A cute little cafe that serves great local food, the place is in the alley and a little hard to find, but after arriving you get great service, instead serving the most delicious noodle I've eaten so far.
