3 places I recommend
These are the three restaurants in Hue I have eaten at myself and would recommend.
A Huế restaurant on Phó Đức Chính serving the city's traditional small dishes, including bánh khoái and nem lụi. Our tour guide took us here to get a real taste of local cuisine. I'm recommending this place more as a cultural experience as it's a must to fully experience Vietnamese food. It has a lot of the different street food items you'd normally have to go to different stalls to try all in one restaurant.
Address: 11-15 Phó Đức Chính, Thuận Hóa, Huế, Vietnam
The fine dining restaurant at Ancient Huế, in Kim Long about 3 km west of the centre. Beautiful restaurant, the setting is truly lovely. The food is good upscale Vietnamese fare.
Address: 104/47 Kim Long, Phú Xuân, Huế 49000, Vietnam
A restaurant in a French colonial villa on Đặng Trần Côn, near the Citadel, serving Huế dishes. Really fun setting that brings together French and Vietnamese styles, and it was also the first time I tried Bún bò Huế which was really delicious.
Address: 32 Đặng Trần Côn, Phú Xuân, Huế, Vietnam
