tok. Bar and Restaurant
Description
Tok sits out past the tourist cluster, maybe 15 minutes from the Ancient Town, with rice paddy views on all sides and enough breeze to make you forget you’re in Vietnam in the middle of the day. Owner James (British, hospitable, the kind of guy who’ll convince you to stay for dinner when you only came for a cocktail) runs a fusion menu built around homegrown vegetables and serious attention to flavour combinations.
The food reads European-trained – precise, considered, not trying to be street food. Expect to pay more than your average Hoi An spot, but it’s still cheap by most Western standards, and the setting alone justifies the cab fare out here.
