The Lantern House

Cẩm ChâuHội An

8.5

A French-era villa amid the Cẩm Châu paddies where old Hoianese recipes get a considered polish — duck with mắc khén pepper, banana blossom with pomelo, a tasting menu that walks the town's Chinese, Japanese and French ghosts course by course. By Hội An standards it's a splurge; by anyone else's it's a bargain worth dressing for. The garden seating is the whole point, so skip it on rainy-season nights when everyone's crammed inside.

Order this

  • Duck with mắc khén pepper
  • Banana blossom and pomelo salad
  • Five-spice chocolate with coffee

The dishes reviewers keep coming back for. Ordering off-list is on you.
