5 Recommended Restaurants in Hue

1. Les Jardins de La Carambole

Les Jardins de La Carambole (means ‘The Garden of Starfuit’) is on 32 Dang Tran Con Street, about 400 m west from the main door of the Forbidden Citadel. It is the most visually impressive restaurant set in a recreation French colonial villa.  The menu is enormous, mixing up French, Italian as well as Hue specialties, and a handful of other Vietnamese dishes with alfresco and balcony dining and a pianist who plays most evenings. A decent wine and cocktail list and views out over the citadel make it a great place for a sundowner, while the light tapas and salad lunch menu and its close vicinity to the imperial city make it a good place to rest weary feet during the day. The price here is higher than other places in Hue but reasonable for the setting.
