Royal court tea in a Huế garden house by the river

Vỹ Dạ Xưa rebuilds a Huế garden house down to the timber frame and tiled roofs, pond and courtyard included, in the riverside quarter poet Hàn Mặc Tử once wrote about. The menu centers on trà cung đình, the old royal court's blended tea, alongside coffee and Huế sweets.

The grounds are big enough to swallow a tour bus without feeling packed. Find it on Nguyễn Sinh Cung, the road that leads out toward the Vỹ Dạ clam rice alleys.

On a beautiful day during a family road trip from North to South, we stopped here for lunch. The space is beautiful and peaceful, and the dining room facing the river offers a very nice and breezy view. The food is well-seasoned and nicely presented. If you happen to visit Hue, this is definitely a reasonable choice for you and your family.

A relaxing experience As the name suggests, the cafe is located inside the famous Vi Da Hamlet. It is roomier than it looks with the backyard right next to the river, which offers a great view and calm asmotsphere. I order one salted coffee and a set of imperial tea. The coffee is great. The sweetness and saltiness of the cream complement the bitterness of the coffee, resulting in a sophisticated and well-rounded flavour profile. Next is the tea set. For an affordable price, this is one of the best tea experiences you can find. The brew features dried fruits and is served with a side of sweets to complement the flavors. Each sip offers a subtle bitterness and sweet aftertaste that finishes with a fragant herbal notes. Last but not least, the employees are super friendly who carefully attend to your needs.

I have come here ever since I was young. It’s my favourite breakfast spot. A little on the more expensive side but the breakfast dishes are delicious. The yoghurt drinks are my favourite too. Hanh, our waitress gave us a great service.

We came for drinks. This place hasnt changed from 2 decades ago. The ambience and design still gives an ancient Hue feeling. Perfect place to catch up and hang out in this Ancient city.
