The 11 best places to propose in Hoi An

I recently visited a truly wonderful cafe. The cappuccino was excellent, and the rooftop offers a stunning view of the old town—it's the perfect spot to watch the sunset. This is definitely my go-to place for a great cup of coffee.

You’re required to order at least one drink per person to go upstairs — but trust me, it’s absolutely worth it! The view from the top is stunning, offering a full panorama of Hoi An’s ancient town. I tried the coconut coffee and recommend having it as the café suggests (I asked for less sugar and it wasn’t as good😅). The café is easy to find and definitely worth a visit! 😊

This café is a must-visit when you’re in Hoi An. It offers a stunning panoramic view of the beautiful ancient town, making it the perfect spot to relax and take in the charm of the city. Whether you’re enjoying a cup of coffee or just soaking in the scenery, this place captures the true essence of Hoi An.

Coffee is moderate, most people come here to take photo. Anyway, nice view of Hoi An Old Town if you are sitting at 3rd floor or 2nd floor.

Famous for the rooftop views, as we were also here for. Coffee was good, but the place was HOT. Thanks for the service

A rather touristy place as everyone wants to get the view at the roof. That being said, I personally think it’s worth doing as you get to see a very new perspective of hoi an. I took a seat at the second floor and it was very relaxing overlooking the busy street. The coffee is, indeed, pricier than other places but it’s required to get access upstairs.

Nice place to get a drink on rooftop. You can relax and enjoy the view.

The food was delicious even though definitely on the pricey side. The staff were friendly and helpful explaining the menu, the atmosphere and setting perfect. What let things down for me the fish was difficult to pick through the bones, I was very careful but still ended up with a sharp bone in my throat, for the price I believe more care should be taken filleting and presenting the dish.

We stopped because we could see the atmospheres from the street. Was early in the day so we had the riverside to ourselves and decided to soak it in. Staff were awesome and we chatted for a bit. Took some pics etc. Amenities were great and the music was funky. Will come back for dinner we think. Edit: food was incredible. Get the duck!

Excellent, exceptional. From the quality ingredients, to their bespoke preparations, homemade breads, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service staff. You can feel the love and care that goes into every detail, each beautifully crafted and delicious dish, not to mention the overall vibe and environment. We had the daily special, smoked fish, tacos, and ceviche. Chef’s kiss! Look forward to trying their other menu items in the future.

I’m from the city that had the top ranked restaurant in the USA…a Mexican restaurant, and the duck taco here is the best taco I’ve ever had. It is a trio of 1-bite tacos that have an explosion of flavors!! Outstanding!! Pro-tip: Come here from 11am to 6pm and get a delicious, refreshing cocktail with said tacos for free!

That was a great fine dining experience in Hội An’s old town area. The place is cozy, and provides AC rooms and river-side seats. Their fusion food blends Mexican cuisine with local fish and tropical fruits. The ceviche and carpaccio were amazing, and the duck tacos were… special. Recommended if you’re in the mood of something different, and unique.

Was excited to there, however left a little disappointed. Was greeting warmly cocktail in the bar was amazing, the setting is beautiful we were looking forward to the steak and it was amazing but the mash potatoes that accompanied it were terrible it was like like baby food presuming instant mash with no seasoning. They offered us fries but by that point we had finished the steak.

Compliments to the chef! Steak was perfect, fish was crispy and tasty. The cocktails were truly excellent. We will return again when we come back to Hoi An

The food is generally packed with bold flavors, though many dishes leaned heavily on the salty side. If you enjoy strong, savoury tastes, you'll likely appreciate their offerings more. Highlights include the fried turmeric noodles and baby calamari — both well-executed and flavorful. However, the grilled scallops were a miss for us; they were overwhelmingly salty, masking the natural taste of the scallop. Desserts offered a pleasant surprise with a wide selection that wasn't overly sweet — a nice balance to the savory dishes. Their signature cocktails are also worth trying: reasonably priced, well-mixed, and notably not watered down. You can really taste the alcohol distinctly. Lastly, great river view if you sit at higher floors. Definitely a good bonus!

I have mixed feelings about Morning Glory Signature. I chose this place because it came highly recommended when I asked around for good food in Hoi An. We ordered the rose dumplings, banh xeo, and spiced beef bun. Flavor-wise, everything tasted good; the banh xeo was the crispiest we had in Hoi An, definitely a standout. But the portions were tiny. If you’re really hungry (like we were), this is not the place to eat. The banh xeo came with just four rolls; the dumplings were delicious but barely filling; and the beef buns were just okay. The ambience was a little too fancy for us. We were hoping for a casual dining spot and found the atmosphere a bit intimidating. Unfortunately, service was disappointing. When we asked if the “spices beef bun” was spicy, the staff responded with “it’s called spicy beef on the menu,” even though it actually said “spices.” We tried to clarify, but the tone felt a bit dismissive. Probably just a language misunderstanding, but it didn’t feel great. Lastly, for the small portion sizes, the price didn’t feel worth it. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not somewhere I’d go back to unless I wanted something light and didn’t mind paying more for the setting.

You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here! We went for the beef buns, the BBQ chicken lime salad, the famous Hoi An chicken rice, and of course their signature: the morning glory. Every single dish was a hit, but the real showstopper was definitely the Hoi An chicken rice, it stood out for its flavor and uniqueness. Absolutely divine! And whatever you do, don’t skip dessert; the sticky rice with mango is an absolute must, so make sure to save a little room 😋

A really good selection of options. Everything was delicious. The staff were excellent. We ate there twice on the same day 😊 The restaurant is located in a large building that is shared with other restaurants. I believe they are all connected and serve a different take on Vietnamese cuisine.

An amazing place if you have allergies! I have a peanut allergy and the staff were really aware and informative (see receipt!) - the Cao lau was the best food I’ve had in Vietnam so far. Lovely atmosphere too.

Our experience at morning glory signature was delightful from start to finish. The dishes we ordered were bursting with flavor, perfectly prepared, and beautifully presented. Our server, Ngoc was incredibly attentive and friendly, making excellent recommendations. The restaurant's ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect backdrop for our meal. All our questions about the restaurant and partnering establishments were answered with pride and enthusiasm by Ngoc. Thank you.

The service upstairs could be improved. We had made a reservation that they could not find. We felt very neglected and had to call our waitress over several times. Unfortunately the desserts aren't the same as two years ago. You used to be able to get desserts by Vy from downstairs. Now they don't offer them. Also the beef in the soup I got was of a low quality. It had a lot of fat and gristle in it. I expect more from the signature restaurant. It's still beautiful to sit outside on the patio upstairs at night and enjoy the lanterns.

So great Japanese restaurant in Hotel Royal Hoi An Gallery. We visited it because stayed in hotel and happy to choose this place for a dinner. Although we are not big fans of Japanese food, but dishes and drinks here were so delicious! We tried Kaiso salad, Umibudo salad, Edamame, Misoshiru soup, Unadon, Sesame Ice Cream, Special Japanese ice cream YUZU lime, passion fruit and watermelon fresh juices and Oolong Ginseng. These food and drinks were enough for 2 ladies :) Sesame ice cream was so great so we ordered it 2 more times :)) I’m happy I tried Chargrilled Japanese eel for the first time here because if it’s not enough grilled, it can be dangerous for your health. But here I was calm about the quality and taste. Decorations and details were beautiful. Thank you so much Nhi, Nhan, Mui, Nhung for our amazing dinner! Food, drinks and service were just amazing.

This is nice restaurant with delicious Japanese homemade food by enthusiastic and dedicated Chef names Loc. He always makes the dishes that bring new feelings and are good for the health of customers in a cheerful way and interesting stories. The restaurant has dishes for both vegetarians and Halal. This is place I marked for any Danang trip, and the only restaurant I don’t have to choose food in menu.

Really rather excellent japanese/sushi restaurant in Hoi An. I've tried a few different ones in Hoi An and this is easily the best, also pretty affordable. Excellent and quick service. Ate here two nights in a row.

I had the grilled salmon set at Wakaku – the fish was perfectly cooked, juicy inside with a light crisp skin. The side dishes were fresh and well-balanced. I celebrated my birthday here, and the staff surprised me with a small dessert and sang a birthday song. It was so thoughtful and heartwarming!

Located near the heart of the Old Quarter, Wakaku offers an authentic Japanese dining experience. The prices are reasonable, and the food is incredibly fresh and delicious. The service truly lives up to 5-star standards. If you have any special requests, don’t hesitate to share them with the chef — he will gladly accommodate you

We have just arrived in from Ireland and have had a delicious meal at Wakaku. The sushi was so fresh and the hot meals were very good also. Staff and chefs were very helpful and super nice. We are already thinking about returning again during our stay in Hoi An! Would definitely recommend.

Great sushi restaurant. Clean, tasty and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Was here for coffee. We ordered Coffee float which turned out to be a mini Affogato. The name and portion were so misleading :( other than that, the place was lovely. The price is on the high side as this is actually more of cocktail bar and very touristy.

Beautiful setting in one of the last 18th Century wooden houses in Hoi An, which was also the setting for a scene in "The Quiet American." The staff are friendly and seem eager to share the building's history with guests. A nice assortment of fresh juices, coffee, beers, etc, prett much at the same price point of the other cafes around. Definitely worth stopping by and reading through the history/ poking around. :) I also enjoyed the 1950s (American) music they played, to evoke the movie scene. :)

A good bar with a charming vibe. The drinks are good, but not great. However, the laid-back atmosphere makes this the best place in town to have a drink.

A hidden gem. Very helpful and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and the 200 year old house has a rich history which is very well described. A big menu and tasty drinks.

An interesting building where the film of the same name was filmed starring Michael Cane. Good service and cold beer, worth a visit.

I was at the Quiet American Cafe in December 2022 and they were indeed open. Restaurant was not fully open but drinks were available and you could order from the restaurant across the street. The cafe is mostly doing tailoring and has a large selection of items to choose from and you can still buy their famous chili garlic sauce. This is one of my favorite places in Hoi An. Beautiful old wooden shop house is amazing to see.

Unique place, and a must do in Hoi An! Cosy and chic bar in a back alley, very quiet too . Perfect place to avoid the crowd in the streets next door . Staff is very friendly , mango juice was really fresh and exquisite, cocktails are well prepared. We had an original appetizer with marinated ingredients into banana leaves , excellent too. We bought some Vietnamese chili paste from there. There is a very well decorated boutique next to the bar providing beautiful silk clothes and jewels. We will definitely come back.

Really great beach. Everything is chill. There are a few good restaurants. The beach is quite clean, no garbage. Only two older women selling souvenirs both super chill. Waves were very calm and great for kids. Loved it.

Great beach tucked away between two more crowded ones. Got here early and had it to ourselves for a while. Easy to get a chair and umbrella if you order drinks through one of the restaurants. Sand was clean and the water was pretty clear. Had a great lunch of grilled scallops and steamed clams to top it all off.

Beautiful quiet beach, you don't have to pay for sunbeds. You can order something in a cafe and use a lounger. It's better than paying for a lounger separately and then ordering something extra. That's what they expect on the beach in Da Nang. And it's very inconvenient and expensive. So I recommend this beach because it's empty, beautiful, clean and neat

I fell in love with sunset here. Not too crowded like An Bang beach. Thus it’s very suitable for who is into hidden place as its name

The best scallops and whole fish! Doesn’t get any fresher, melts on your tongue and the herbs and spices are just an explosion of taste. Service is super nice, friendly and warm. They were especially kind to my 8-year-old and made it very special for him. Highly recommend. Do not miss this place

Amazing! What a special place. Came here for some drinks & scallops and had the best afternoon! Peaceful and friendly and food was so so tasty and fresh. They have massage service and leather store as well! Awesome place with even greater people. We will be back here for sure. 10-10 Cam On!!

A lovely stretch of beach with loads of restaurant options and sun beds at cheap prices. Water is colder than Thailand but refreshing.

I came here with my brother. A professional and very beautiful place. High recommendation should experience. Best Spa In Hoi An

Excellent service, modern facilities, quiet space and a relaxing, restorative feeling. This is the place to recharge yourself.

Perfect massage. We like it. The massage therapists are super professional. And the service is great

I have gone twice now and had a wonderful experience here. This location is newer, cosy and private which I prefer. I had a steam + massage package and also a head,neck, shoulder massage. One of the best massages I’ve had in Da Nang/Hoi An! I’ve been here for almost 3 months and get massages weekly so I have experienced many different spas and can confidently say this place falls in top 3. The service from reception is also very pleasant. Thank you Jessica- LY 😄 the spa is clean and the therapist do a great job checking in regularly during to adjust as needed. Highly recommend

Just visited Serene Spa during their grand opening and got 15% OFF their already affordable services! Tried their 120-mins Hair wash & Head spa– it was so relaxing, and my hair has never felt better. With the discount, it's an absolute steal!

I came here as a walk in with my friend and it was an awesome experience. We got a hair package which included a facial and shoulder, arms and leg massages and gosh was it good. Slightly on the pricer side for spa experiences in hoi an, but definitely worth ever dollar.

The lighting, scent, and soft music all created the perfect environment to relax. I highly recommend this spa to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life

I booked this tour with my cousin as part of our itinerary during our trip to Hoi An. We kicked things off by meeting our guide, Ms. Vang, who was also our cooking instructor. She took us to the local market to check out all the fresh ingredients and tools we’d be using in the cooking class. After our market tour, we enjoyed a scenic boat ride along the river until we reached a popular tourist attraction: the coconut basket boat ride. Our boatman was very friendly and entertaining, even though his English was limited. He even let me try my hand at rowing the boat, which was a lot of fun! Next up, we hopped on motorcycles to head to the cooking class venue. When we arrived, we were treated to refreshing drinks and a soothing foot massage. They also offered a foot scrub or pedicure for a little extra, but it was totally optional. Once we settled in, it was time to start cooking! We learned how to make 4 Vietnamese dishes, and Ms. Vang shared some great tips along the way. The hands-on instruction made it super easy to follow, even for someone like me who barely cooks. One of the highlights was sitting down to enjoy each dish we made together, it definitely felt rewarding! Overall, this tour was not just a lot of fun but also an amazing way to dive into Vietnamese culture. I left with new cooking skills (who knew I could turn a tomato into a rose?) and some great memories, thanks to Ms. Vang who took plenty of photos and videos throughout the day. Can't recommend this experience enough!

Well worth booking. You get a trip round the market, boat trip up the river, bamboo boat trip, foot and neck massage before you cook a 3 course meal under instruction. Excellent morning. They even pick up and drop off at our hotel.

The cooking class was so much fun today. The activity started with a visit to a local market first. After that the guide will take you to a boat ride and the ride was so relaxing. Then a coconut basket boat ride to the restaurant. A foot massage is included in the package to pamper you before the actual class begins. I learned 4 Vietnamese Dishes from the cooking class today. I highly recommended this activity to everybody.

We had a great day. Everything was well organised, from the market tour to the boat ride, to the massage to the cooking. The food was delicious, and the dishes where easy and fun to make because Hung explained it very well en demonstrates everything. A lot of the dishes aren’t hard to make at home as well so you can take the learned skills home (as well as the recipes). Hung was a lovely humorous teacher, and we had a good laugh. We had all the dishes vegan, and they were so tasty (would recommend even if you’re not vegan/vegetarian). In my opinion the duration of the session could be even a little longer since the time flew (good thing). All in all: very nice cooking class. (We didn’t do the Buffalo ride, not sure why not, but we didn’t miss it, we do saw a cute cow that we could pet)

A fun, action packed day walking around the market in Hoi An (being shown what each ingredient is used for was really interesting than walking past uninformed as we had before!), boat ride along the river, short bamboo boat ride, foot massage and cooking class. Everyone was friendly and professional. We were recommended this tour and cooking class from family friends who visited last year and we will no doubt recommend to others too. Great value for money. Thank you!

Excellent day with Sabirama. Started with a market tour, followed by a boat ride to the coconut boats and then a ride in the coconut groves on the coconut boats. We then arrived at sabirama cooking school and were greeted with fresh passion fruit juice and a massage. We cooked 4 delicious meals with a great chef and got to take the recipes home. It was an amazing 5 star day to be enjoyed even in the rain! Thank you!

This was a seriously fun experience. From the bizarre, spinning, rocking coconut boats eventually taking us through the river ways to the restaurant, all the way to the five-course menu we cooked for ourselves, it was certainly memorable. Warm and friendly chefs had prepared our ingredients then instructed us step by step in our preparation. We watched wide eyed as our clumsy efforts gradually morphed raw ingredients into dishes we couldn't believe we'd made ourselves, before subsequently eating for dinner. It was a team bonding experience like no other as we shared meals in a safe and fun environment. We made: rice paper rolls, seafood curry broth with rice, fish grilled in banana leaf and a couple more that escape me. Would definitely do it again if I ever had the chance.

Wonderful professional spa . The lovely Emma gave me a combination Massage / Thai/ Vietnamese and Hot Stone - 90 mins - best massage I’ve had ! Then a 60 min facial . For the cleanliness and level of professionalism I thought it was excellent value - as a hotel guests I got a 20% discount . Enjoy !

This Spa is definitely 5 star, we visited almost every day while staying in The Royal hotel and felt amazing afterwards. Big thank you to Nhi Lien, Thien Hoa, Dieu Tran and Ngoc for looking after us. Clean, refreshing and service with a smile 😊

Worst massage ever. Specifically wanted back and neck rub, but they barely rub my neck at all, and the massage technique itself was awful.

I visited while staying at the hotel, and got a combination of facial & eye contour. Location is very beautiful and relaxing, and sweet Emma gave a good service. So relaxing I was fighting not falling asleep😅

This place we had massages for two. One vietnamise massage and one aroma massage. Massage was very relaxing, started with foot wash and then massage. Start you vacation with this and you feel relaxed. Little pricey but very well worth it.

This was the best massage that i’ve ever had. The price is expensive buy worth it. Woosah massage is their signature massage and pressed certain spots on your body. Price=quality, I think this fact never changes.

Really nice massage from Jennifer. All the staff were really welcoming and kind. Thank you once again
