Lao Cai Province, Vietnam Food Guide: 10 International food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Sapa

June 28, 2020 Fernanda Pittenger

Find out what International restaurants to try in Sapa. The northwest market town of Sapa is colorful and charming, providing the perfect oasis in the midst of a strenuous mountain trek or rice-paddy tour. The Gothic stone church at the center of town is a bull’s-eye in the center of shops and stalls, serving as a reminder of the town’s French missionary influence. Dine on Vietnamese or European-inspired cuisine downtown, and don’t miss the Saturday night "love market," one of the most potent—and strictest—single’s nights imaginable.

I don’t generally like to eat at the same place more than once but made an exception for this exceptional cafe. Large menu but everything we tried was delicious. We tried the traditional Bahn mi, it was incredible. As was the pho bo (beef) & caramelised pork. The staff were great, we wanted to share crepes but my boyfriend wanted honey & I wanted chocolate so the waitress made sure they split the crepes & served them half & half. A must visit if you’re in SaPa.

Tried few Vietnamese dishes and all was very good. I definitively recommend the BBQ duck that comes served on a hot plancha. Restaurant is located 10 min walk from Sapa center but it is worth going, very peacefull environment and view of the mountain. Only few tables inside the restaurant so better book if you are coming with a big group

A charming restaurant with delicious food- we had the full Italian experience ordering pizza and garlic bread after a full day trekking. In addition to the main restaurant you can sit outside overlooking the mountains of Sapa. The menu is well executed/printed (it does make a difference!) and there are many choices alongside traditional Vietnamese cuisine. They’ve included a couple of facts about Sapa and local food in the menu too which is a nice touch. Beyond our expectations, so glad we chose to dine at Pi’s.

great loctation, tho for happy hour it would help if the staff were alittle more happier throughout the experience.Customer service goes along way and if you want to watch social media on your phone instead of serving customers then maybe don't advertise happy hour to begin with. It's not hard to smile and give service to paying customers that want to experience and spend money at your establishment. For this reason i did not eat here.
