Hoi An is the birthplace of one of Vietnam's most delectable local specialties- cao lau. There are other specialties too. This is a very good place to eat. Hit the atmospheric alleys for a delicious bowl of cao lau or mi quang. For dinner take a seat in a heritage gem. Mix it up. A handful of quality international eateries have opened in recent years - most closed during COVID. Make sure you venture beyond the epi-centre of tourist eateries around the Japanese Bridge.
