Bay Bong Restaurant - tasty and westerner friendly
22 Thuong Dang Le St, Chau Doc - An Giang
Tel: (076) 867 271;

This popular restaurant claims to specialise in Southern Vietnamese cuisine and is easy walking distance from the centre of town. While untried, their hot pots looked excellent and there is a reasonably priced English-language menu. A friendly, comfortable option and very popular with travellers. It is mentioned in most guidebooks.

Hong Phat Restaurant - good rolls, loads of flies
Chi Lang St, Chau Doc - An Giang

This small hole-in-the-wall does reasonable spring rolls, but the rest of the food on display was fly-blown enough to turn off even the most determined. Try Lam Hung Ky just down the road if the flies put you off.

Juice stalls - Yummo
By the square, Chau Doc - An Giang

Wash down a meal from one of the nearby restaurants with a fresh fruit smoothie from one of the stalls clustered around the park pagoda. We tried the stall with the Christmas lights and their mango smoothie with a hint of soursop hit the spot. Refreshing and cheaper than water.

Que Huong Restaurant - generous portions
Bach Dung St, Chau Doc - An Giang

Just on the corner facing the square, the friendly Que Huong does a range of Vietnamese fare with a smattering of Khmer standards. The servings are generous and the prices reasonable. A friendly spot.

Thanh Tinh - vegetarian hit
Quang Trung St, Chau Doc - An Giang

Thanh Tinh offers a great vegetarian menu, with very good portions of noodle soups and rice, along with very tasty spring rolls. There is an English menu and it is a friendly spot. Watch out for the coffee though -- they add enough sugar to bring on a seizure.
