Ninh Binh

The Ninh Binh area is famous for its mountain goat meat and other forest delicacies. If you want to be sure what you are eating ask for an English menu or take a phrasebook with you. The Thuy Anh Hotel and Thanh Thuy Guesthouse both serve excellent food. Otherwise try the huge Bia Hoi place on Tran Hung Dao St, which is nearly always packed with locals as their menu has a huge selection of reasonably priced local specialties and, of course, good local beer on tap. For other sit-down places, try the Anh Dzung Hotel-Restaurant on Bich Dong St which is a very popular stop for large tour groups -- if you don't mind the crowds their 60,000D set lunch is a cracking deal. For coffee and fruit shakes, look no further than Cafe Loc on Tran Hung Dao St -- the owner speaks good English and Russian.
