I am giving a plug for Scott Marquis’s new restaurant up in Hoi An. Here is how he describes his new restaurant:
Comfort food with a twist…What we do is simple: we take favorite foods and drinks from home, venture to the local market and make them here in Hoi An. That’s it. Good food, no fuss.
You can learn more about his restaurant by visiting his website: http://www.vietlachoian.com/ or Facebook Page. Better yet, just travel up to Hoi An and try out Viet Lac Hoi An Restaurant yourself.

We arrived in Hoi An last night and then went out and had a wonderful dinner at Viet Lac Hoi An restaurant. The cuisine is mostly “western” but comprised of locally sourced ingredients. Joy had the Tomato Soup and I had the Caesar Salad for appetizers. For our entrees I had the Sesame Seed Tuna while Joy enjoyed the Thai Red Chicken Curry.
We ate out on the back terrace, right next to the river. It started raining but under the large umbrellas rain was not a problem. We had desserts also which were rich and delicious. I had a chocolate peanut sort of pie and Joy had a custard covered with caramel. Everything tasted fabulous!
We returned to Viet Lac for lunch today and I had the fabulous Caesar Salad again with the Baked Onion Soup while Joy tried a sesame encrusted shrimp dish. They have tasty fresh squeezed fruit juices and my favorite, Carrot Juice.
The prices are quite reasonable considering the care lavished on each dish, including very artistic plate presentations. We will be going back for more meals during our 5 days visit to Hoi An.
What a coincidence that you are mentioning this new, and unique, entry on the Hoi An restaurant scene while we are up here!
