If you’ve followed hMAG since its County days, you’ll know one thing about us—we don’t skip brunch. From tucked-away spots in Jersey City to waterfront cafés in Hoboken, we always believed that where and how you brunch says a lot about your weekend. That mindset? It traveled with us to Vietnam.
Because while Vietnam might be known for pho and iced coffee, its emerging casino resorts and coastal towns are also serving up some seriously underrated brunch options. Whether you’re nursing a late-night blackjack hangover or just easing into the day, here are our favorite brunch-worthy stops across Vietnam’s rising resort scene.
🥐 1. Terrace Lounge – VinOasis Phu Quoc
Right next to Corona Casino, this all-day café offers a hybrid brunch that blends Vietnamese flavors with continental classics. Picture mango yogurt parfaits next to bánh mì sliders, or omelets made to order alongside fresh spring rolls. The coffee? Rich and dark, just how folks like it.
Tip: Get a window seat. The early light over the resort pool is worth it.
🥓 2. Café Grand Bistro – Ho Tram Strip
If you’re staying near The Grand Ho Tram, this bistro is a must. Their brunch buffet runs Saturdays and Sundays, featuring smoked salmon, French toast, and made-to-order eggs Benedict. The croissants are flown in from Saigon every week. Bonus: They serve mimosas—by the carafe.
🍳 3. The Deck – Da Nang Marina
Located inside a boutique hotel that overlooks the Han River, The Deck is where locals-in-the-know go to recharge after a night out. Their lemongrass chicken & waffle is legendary, and you’ll find a full smoothie bar next to the omelet station. It’s casual, quiet, and far from the tourist traps.
Why We Brunch (Even in Southeast Asia)
Whether it’s downtown Hoboken or the beaches of Phu Quoc, brunch isn’t just a meal—it’s a reset. A moment to catch up, fuel up, and plan the rest of your weekend. It’s where you gather after a long night at the tables, or where you start your first real vacation morning with no rush.
At hMAG, we may no longer be hyper-local, but we’re still deeply personal. In Hanoi, good food and good timing never go out of style.
