With its beautiful yellow walls, UNESCO status and wonderfully vibrant streets, the Vietnamese town of Hoi An is a Mecca for tourists year round.
It also happens to be one of the best places to eat in Vietnam with a wonderful selection of culinary options ranging from cheap street food to high end restaurants.
Hoi An food is as good as it gets, so start making your way through this list…
1. Cau Lau at the Market Stalls
These distinctive noodles have a distinctive texture and are thicker than the rest of noodles you’ll get in the country. While most restaurants in town serve the local speciality, your best bet is to try the stalls in the Central covered market in the old town.
A wonderful cheap meal that you’ll eat many times.

The queue starts early, but they are so cheap and delicious that you’ll be coming back multiple times. Read our full review here.
