Nom Cafe and Bistro
Description
Nom Cafe and Bistro runs a menu that sits comfortably between Vietnamese classics and Western cafe food – cao lau and caramelised eggplant share space with avocado toast, pesto toast, and bowls. The cheesecake gets called out specifically, which tells you something about how seriously they take the whole operation.
The room is air-conditioned and quiet, which after a few hours in Hoi An’s old town heat is worth more than it sounds. Staff are warm and unhurried, and the pace of service reflects that – this is not the place if you’re trying to eat and run.
The wellness drinks and fresh juices are genuinely good companions to the food. Walk-in traffic seems to leave satisfied just as often as people who sought the place out deliberately.
