Ganh Hao 2 Restaurant
09 Hạ LongDavid’s is a very popular restaurant, especially for expats. Beginning of December 2011, they moved from the place across the ferry station to a slightly bigger place 300 meters up the road, next to Belly’s and Tommy’s. If you come from the ferry station, take a right in the direction of the Jesus statue.
In the new place David’s still has the success formula with the up stairs seating from where you can overlook the ocean and catch the breeze
The place is run by Micheal, the Italian chef, his lovely Vietnamese wife Loan and their Vietnamese staff. On some nights it can get pretty busy and I can feel the Italian hectic atmosphere. On the menu you will find home made fresh pasta, pizza’s.

Son Dang Coffee Shop is one of the coolest cafes in Vung Tau City. This place really has everything you could ask for. A steady breeze, relaxed atmosphere, and front-row seats looking out all across Vung Tau to the north.
Watch the coastline vanish into the haze far off in the distance as you sip your glass of black adrenaline. Contemplate mindfulness as your phin gently drips away, never disturbing the perfectly smooth layer of condensed milk in the bottom of your glass. And if you come to Vung Tau during the rainy season, there’s no better place to watch it pour.
