Danang is a beach city and of course, seafood is the first thing that has to be mentioned. So excursions to the city, you should not miss the taste of  ‘the sea’ with the delicious dishes prepared in the unique ways and where should eat?

Just go along Pham Van Dong Beach or My Khe Beach, you can easily encounter a range of seafood restaurants here. From the affordable shops to high-end restaurants with luxurious space, they all bring the fresh feeling because of the view towards the sea as well as the windswept open area. And as you would expect, the seafood here is remarkably flavorful and very palatable. Depending on location you choose, there will be different suitable prices.

MI QUANG (Mì Quảng)

Mi Quang (Quang noodles) is one of the most well-known specialties in Da Nang – Quang Nam. A distinctive dish is partaken of thick rice noodles with assorted vegetables, pork, shrimp, chicken and frog in some shops or restaurants and stewed broth from pork bones. They are also added by milled and dry roasted peanuts, chopped green onions, herbs, and red peppers. Particularly, Mi Quang is not unfamiliar with tourists, but to choose a right stop so that you can taste the actual “Quang” of this delicacy is not that easy. Hence, I, born and raised in Danang, would like to recommend a few of places:
