The Son Bistro
Description
A Vietnamese restaurant and bar sitting right on the lantern-lit walking street, where you can watch the old town foot traffic while working through a claypot fish or a plate of whatever they’ve adapted for your dietary needs. The upstairs seating is notably cooler during the brutal midday heat (37 degrees is not a joke), and the craft beer selection means you’re not stuck with the usual Bia Hoi situation.
The food is solid and honest – fresh fish, good cocktails, reasonable prices for the central location. What actually makes people stay longer than planned is the service, specifically a guy named Quan who has the rare ability to be attentive without being annoying about it.
This is the kind of place you duck into for one drink and leave two hours later having eaten dinner. The menu works for gluten-free diners too, with staff willing to adjust dishes rather than just apologize.
