When visiting Sapa, you must try grilled dishes, as they are available everywhere and come in a variety of options, from skewered pork, chicken, and wrapped vegetables to eggs, corn, sweet potatoes, and bamboo-cooked rice. The price for grilled food ranges from 20,000 to 100,000 VND per item. Additionally, salmon and sturgeon, either cooked in hotpot or eaten raw, are also very popular. A hotpot costs between 300,000 and 600,000 VND, suitable for 3 to 6 people.
Some recommended specialty restaurants include Thắng Cố A Quỳnh (Thach Son Street), Hotpot Center (Xuan Vien Street) for fish hotpot, and Phở Cốn Sủi Ông Há (468 Dien Bien Phu Street). Young travelers who enjoy delicious food and a vibrant atmosphere should visit Mị Nướng (Dien Bien Phu Street), which specializes in charcoal-grilled dishes, or Tiệm Gà Túk Túk, known for its spicy grilled ribs and cheese-coated chicken. For a unique experience, check out H’Mong Pizza at Pi’s Boutique.
The town center has plenty of coffee shops for visitors to choose from. However, if you’re looking for a quiet space with valley or mountain views, consider Coóng Cafe (part of Coóng Homestay on the way to Cat Cat Village), Vietrekking (Hoang Lien Street), or Gem Valley Cafe (Cat Cat Village).
