With its blue sea and gently swaying palm trees,
Nha Trang is the kind of place where time seems to slow down.
You lounge at your resort in the day, then wander the streets at night—slippers on, appetite ready.

But these days, Nha Trang is no longer just about casual pho stalls and local cafés.
It’s emerging as a culinary hotspot, where traditional flavors are being reimagined in stylish, creative ways.

Here are three standout restaurants where you can taste the new flavor of Nha Trang.


1. MẮM – A modern take on Central Vietnamese traditions

MẮM is a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant that brings the soul of Central Vietnam into the now.
Inside its terra-cotta-toned space filled with traditional instruments,
you’ll find dishes like beef rolls wrapped in betel leaf, crab-stuffed nem, and dried catfish with mango salad.
Everything is plated in halved coconuts or bamboo trays,
making the meal not only delicious but a delight to look at.

Ngon Gallery is a stylish buffet restaurant where over 150 Vietnamese dishes are freshly prepared at open cooking stations.
