HOA MAI -HUE RESTAURANTS

Hoa Mai is decked out in kitschy bamboo furnishings in an open area on the top floor of the Huong Giang Hotel. Atmosphere aside, the Vietnamese fare is good and you'll have great views of the Perfume River. Try banh rom Hue, triangular fried rolls stuffed with ground meat, shrimp, and vegetables. Daily special set menus are good; mine featured a unique fried cuttlefish with grapefruit, crab soup, and shrimp with fig and rice cake. Be sure to choose a table near the riverside window and away from any banquet-size setups that say RESERVED.
Address: Third floor, Huong Giang Hotel
