Word to the wise: Up until very recently, this restaurant was known as Quan An Ngon and many will still refer to it as such.

Popular plate: The shrimp, pork and beansprout-filled Banh Xeo, wrapped in lettuce and dipped in fish sauce, is to die for.

If you like the idea of street food but just can't bring yourself to squat on those tiny plastic benches at the side of the road, Nha Hang Ngon may just be the place you're looking for.

A certified local hit, Nha Hang Ngon offers a more refined version of a food court, serving up excellent versions of regional dishes from all over Vietnam in a restored colonial mansion. Light and airy at lunchtime and twinkling with fairy lights at night, here you can sample authentic Cau Lau without travelling up the coast to Hoi An, Bun Bo just like it tastes in Hue and Bun Cha without even setting a foot in Hanoi.
