Hoi An Riverside Restaurant

Report Abuse

Description

Sitting inside the Anantara Hotel compound on the Thu Bon River, this is where you come when the Old Town chaos finally breaks you. The riverfront setting is peaceful, boats drift past, and the staff actually pay attention (ask for Ly if you want someone who reads the room).

The menu leans into Central Vietnamese cooking rather than the usual tourist-safe greatest hits. The deep-fried king crab spring rolls wrapped in vermicelli are worth ordering twice, and the Hoi An chicken rice holds up against anything you’ll find closer to the ancient town.

You’re paying Anantara prices, so calibrate expectations accordingly. The complimentary rice crackers and small appetizers that arrive before your meal are a nice touch – small things that signal the kitchen is paying attention.
