Nha Trang Food · Nha Trang City

The dishes that give this coastal city its flavour

A clear, gently sweet fish broth with fried and steamed fish cake — how Nha Trang opens the day.

Charcoal-grilled pork paste, rolled in rice paper with herbs and a shard of crisp fried cracker.

A baguette packed with hot fried fish cake, cucumber and herbs — Nha Trang's breakfast on the move.

Small rice cakes cooked in clay moulds over charcoal, eaten hot with mango fish sauce.

The coastal version of the rice pancake, made with whole fresh squid.

Steamed, grilled and stir-fried shellfish — the everyday evening food of a coastal city.

Squid dried for exactly one day of sun, then grilled — the local thing to carry home.

Prawns, squid, fish and scallops over charcoal — the classic Nha Trang dinner.

We point to dishes and neighbourhoods rather than named restaurants — places open, move and close, and we have no way to keep such a list honest.
