Hue cuisine is distinctive: Vietnamese people regard it as the best in the country. There are two forms – Hue traditional food and Royal cuisine the food of the Imperial Court. Hue culinary traditions demand that meals must presented aesthetically, harmonising food elements, decorations and colours to create a gastronomic work of art. Y Thao garden is great ideal for you to enjoy the best Vietnamese cuisine.
The 1,300-square-metre garden of the Y Thao garden house was constructed fifty years ago, but the house is comparatively modern. The owner has maintained the integrity of most of the garden and added some distinctive elements, notably a traditional dining room and two interesting antique collections. The main attraction Y Thao garden house is the vegetarian and non-vegetarian Hue speciality dishes. The owner is a skilled cook, so the food is very good, and her recipes have ben handed down through the family. She includes at least one of the Hue ‘Royal’ dishes in the menu.
The quality of service matches that of the food. The Y Thao is an ideal place for lunch or dinner: good food, a congenial host, and an unhurried meal in an attractive setting. Include the garden, ceramics and artworks, and you can see why we add it to our Hue itineraries.
