Mandarin is a Hue institution. The owner, Mr Cu opened in the mid nineties when travellers started trickling through Hue. He's seen a lot of history and has acted as an unofficial ambassador for his city. Cu's also a fantastic photographer and his work is displayed on the cafe walls. He's been a friend over the years to me too - providing insights and ideas over many long conversations and motorcycle journeys into the countryside. Mandarin serves local and international food targeted at travellers.
