I absolutely love Nha Trang for its internaltionalism, now it gets even busier than ever but it's a good thing

If you've been keeping up with my articles over the past year, you've likely noticed my affection for the international, indie charm found in alleyways. These hidden gems often host bistros run by individuals from various countries, each infusing their unique cultural flavors into Vietnam's already diverse culinary landscape. It's a delightful fusion that adds yet another layer of richness to the open palate of the Vietnamese people.

Nha Trang own twist of Pham Viet Chanh street

The vibrant alleyways of Nha Trang offer international tourists a unique experience, far from the replicas of Pham Viet Chanh or Bui Vien, or any street found in Saigon's Thao Dien. Here, Nha Trang's alleys boast their own brand of internationalism, sparked by the influx of foreign tourists. It began with the Russians, followed by the Chinese, then the Koreans, and now a myriad of ethnicities from across the globe contribute to the city's diverse culinary scene.

These newcomers bring with them their own culinary traditions, enriching Nha Trang's food culture and delighting both locals and visitors alike. Gone are the days when seafood dominated every dining experience in Nha Trang. While indulging in freshly caught seafood by the beach remains a highlight, the city now offers a plethora of options beyond shellfish and grilled fish.

For those seeking variety or those with seafood allergies, the emergence of diverse cuisines from around the world is a welcome change. From authentic Italian pasta to spicy Indian curry, there's something for every palate.

We embrace this culinary evolution wholeheartedly. Our evenings often begin with a seafood feast ordered through Grab food, ensuring a tidy beach with no litter left behind. Then, we make our way to our favorite beer pub, Jellyfish Pub, where the lively atmosphere and diverse selection of brews perfectly complement the day's culinary adventures.
