Best places to eat in Da Nang 

Bac My An Market 

First up, if you’re craving a classic Banh Mi, it is the place to go. Banh Mi is a Vietnamese staple, perfect for any time of day—especially after a few drinks at 4 am. They’re usually made with fresh bread (so good, you might eat it on its own) and stuffed with delicious fillings like pate, cheese, fresh herbs, and more. 

If you’re in the mood for something different, like Vietnamese-style fried chicken or Vietnamese-style Chinese dumplings, head over to Le Duan Street.

There are tons of hidden gems all around the city. Sure, people might warn you about street food being risky, but honestly, just look for where the locals are eating, and you’ll be golden.

Bánh Xèo Bà Dưỡng

Banh Xeo Ba Duong is definitely one of the top street food spots in Da Nang, loved by both locals and tourists. It’s tucked away at the end of a small alley, but don’t worry—it’s easy to find thanks to a sign outside.

Their must-try dishes are the bánh xèo (sizzling crepes) and nem lụi (grilled pork paste skewers).

Madame Lan

This spacious Vietnamese restaurant on Bach Dang Street, right across from the Han River, might initially give off tourist trap vibes when you first walk in. The style and scale of the place, plus the mix of locals and tourists inside—and even a couple of tour buses parked outside—can make you wonder. But once we got into the food, it was a pleasant surprise.

The dishes have solid, authentic flavors, and the menu offers a wide variety of traditional Vietnamese dishes, especially local delicacies from Central Vietnam. We highly recommend trying the grilled semi-dried squid, which is a signature dish here. This dish, called *mực một nắng*, is made from squid that’s been sun-dried just enough so that the outside is dry, but the inside remains tender and juicy. This process really brings out and intensifies the flavors of the squid, making it a must-try. 

Bún Chả Cá Hờn

This small eatery is a classic example of a typical Vietnamese noodle stall, tucked away in an alley. Their specialty is fish cake noodle soup (*bún chả cá*), and they offer a variety of toppings like fried fish cakes, steamed fish cakes, and slices of fish steak. If you’re unsure what to order, go for a bowl with all the toppings so you can try a bit of everything—plus, it’s super affordable!

Fish cake noodle soup is a dish you’ll find in almost every coastal city in Vietnam, each with its own unique twist. At Bun Cha Ca Hon in Da Nang, the broth leans towards the sweeter side, catering more to Southern tastes. While we found the broth of the fish cake noodles in Quy Nhon to be more balanced, this one was still pretty tasty overall.

Fatfish

Fatfish is a cozy spot near the Dragon Bridge and Son Tra Night Market. They serve international dishes with imported seafood, so it’s not the place to try Da Nang’s local seafood. However, the food is delightful, made with quality ingredients, generous portions, and prices that are reasonable compared to Ho Chi Minh City.

We stopped by for lunch, and it was pretty quiet. We started with some crispy beer-battered calamari, which was just perfect for the rainy weather. The smoked duck salad and seafood pasta were also quite delicious.
