Imagine right in the middle of a busy city at 31°C, there exist an oasis that surrounds you with lots of lush greenery and calm music. I think that is the concept that Rainforest Cafe would like to bring to its customers right here in Nha Trang, Vietnam.
As I only have a few hours in Nha Trang during our 6D5N family cruise on board Genting Dream Cruise (29092019 - 04092019), I wanted to find a place that is unique and serves local food for lunch. A random search on Google led me to Rainforest Cafe.
The cafe is just a 10min taxi ride from my previous location: Long Son Pagoda
Upon entering the cafe, you will enter into a world fused with woods and greens.
There are also many Instagram-Worthy corners in the cafe like a slide and a cool net area that you can hang out at.
Besides the environment, the other key aspect of a cafe is of course its ... FOOD!!!
First on the list is their drinks menu. They have a whole range of drinks to satisfy your thirst from fruit juices to smoothies to western tea and coffee to Vietnamese coffee. But what caught my attention was their coconut ice blended drinks series. So I decided to order their coconut matcha and wow I totally love it. Not only was the matcha base rich in flavor, blending it with coconut milk (I think) totally adds another layer to the drink and they actually complements each other very well. On top of that they also added roasted coconut pieces which is super crispy and super tasty. I would definitely say this is THE DRINK. Seriously come and try it yourself if you have the chance.
Now lets move on to the food. They serve a good mix of western dishes like salad, pasta and burgers, and local dishes like spring rolls, pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) and fried noodles.
Don't get me wrong. The food here are very nice. But I do not think this is the place to go if you are looking for authentic local cuisine. But if you are looking for a general place to chill out with nice food, this is the right place.
I would 100% recommend this cafe to anyone that happens to visit Nha Trang. But if I really have to nitpick and share some areas that can be improved... i would say:
1. Even though their service is superb (they try their best to explain the dishes on the menu if you are not sure), they seems a little under staff. So it may takes a little bit more time to get their attention if you need any assistance.
2. I must admit that my family were lucky to be able to be assigned seats in the air con section immediately when we arrived. However when we were leaving, I notice a queue have started to form as there are limited seating area in the cafe (especially air con seating area). Thus it may be good to arrive slightly before 1300 to avoid the lunch crowd. Details
