Drinks & Nightlife

With a laid-back vibe, this is our favourite of the cafes and restaurants along Pham Ngu Lao. Friendly service and Asian-chic decor combine with the best street-side tables in town, and food is a versatile mix of Western and Vietnamese favourites. Look forward to one of central Vietnam's best mojitos, too.
