Nha Trang

The Sailing Club is a local institution in its own right, a nearly round-the-clock entertainment venue that effortlessly oscillates between casual beach cafe, upscale restaurant, and lively nightlife hot spot. Evenings often see the Sailing Club host performances of different kinds, from live music to fire shows on the beach.

An Cafe is the perfect getaway from Nha Trang's heat: the seating area is fully shaded, and the part furthest away from the entrance is air-conditioned; a koi pond and dim lighting add a vague zen quality to the atmosphere. They mostly serve coffee and chilled drinks, but food is also available during breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours.

Everything about Runam appears thought out down to the smallest detail: the carefully curated 'hip vintage' interior features enormous paper cranes hanging down from the ceiling, and their coffee comes exclusively from Vietnamese farms in the Central Highlands area, roasted in accordance with the highest Italian standards. With long opening hours, a pretty wide selection of both local and international dishes, and a central location across from the beach, Runam is genuinely difficult to find fault with.

This wholesome little Western-style cafe serves great locally-sourced coffee, plus a wide selection of food that seems to be getting consistently positive reviews; they do everything from breakfasts to Mexican, Vietnamese, and even Russian.
