Seafood in Nha Trang is simply the best. Besides popular seafoods such as lobster, Nha Trang has plenty of its own specialties like cow fish served in many different ways.

Grilled Beef
Established 55 years ago, Lac Canh’s Grilled Beef is one of the oldest restaurants in Nha Trang. The beef here is not important from America or Australia, instead, the secret to making it so wonderful is secret mix of honey and over ten kinds of spices. The recipe is handed down from generation to generation in the family. The beef is cubed and the customers grill their own on small charcoal stoves so they can enjoy the dish in their own way. This Nha Trang institution can be found at 44 Nguyen Binh Khiem.
