Source: Author


Cabanon Palace is an authentic French restaurant located on the 21st floor (rooftop) of the hotel. Alongside breathtaking panoramic views, you can enjoy traditional cuisine from Provence in southern France and premium steaks.

Community rating: The romantic night views and the refined quality of the French cuisine are highly praised by couples from home and abroad and by travelers celebrating special occasions.

Location and access: Situated along ロセビー(Loseby) Street in a prime area of Son Tra District, on the 21st floor of the "Cordial Grand Hotel." It’s about a 3‑minute drive from central Da Nang and the Han River, and about a 2‑minute drive (around 7 minutes on foot) from the ever‑popular My Khe Beach—an outstanding location with excellent access from the beach area as well.

Our tasting report (for 2 people or groups of 3–4)

Step out of the elevator onto the 21st floor and you’re met with gray curtains enveloping the space, creating a slightly mysterious atmosphere. Welcomed at reception, the moment the curtains open, the breathtaking panoramic night view of Da Nang spreads out before your eyes—truly awe‑inspiring!

This time, we enjoyed a top‑tier, premium gastronomic experience in Da Nang, with the owner‑chef finishing dishes right in front of us and serving each table personally. The chef carefully explained his dedication to each dish, the origins of the seafood, and the French wine pairings that elevate the flavors. Moreover, the staff proactively introduced the restaurant’s history and menu, and after each course they replaced our plates with new ones. We were impressed by the warm yet unpretentious, faultless hospitality (service: 4 stars).

The signature steak is impeccable in both doneness and seasoning, and the crab soup is outstanding. The highlight, however, is the dessert! Right before your eyes they perform a dynamic flambé “magic performance” using cognac (brandy), wielding flames in a way that makes you want to capture it on video. This is a one‑of‑a‑kind experience in Da Nang that you can only have here.

From the height of the 21st floor, you can overlook the Han River and the city skyline, making it a prime spot to enjoy the “Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF)” every summer from what feels like premium seats. If you want to savor authentic southern French cuisine in Da Nang, this is an unmissable establishment.

Actual budget: From 1,000,000 VND per person (advance reservation required / the interior is quiet and offers a relaxed space for conversation).

Numero ― Fusion of rare water buffalo steak and premium beef (with tasting report)


Source: Author


Numero is a noteworthy new spot where you can enjoy both rare steaks made with Vietnam’s traditional water buffalo meat and carefully selected premium beef steaks in a stylish setting.

Location and access: Located in a quiet back alley (hẻm) off Trần Khánh Dư Street, very close to the An Thượng expat area that gathers stylish, international restaurants.

La Cabaña - House of BBQ ― Most popular in the Reddit community (includes tasting report)

Courtesy of the author



La Cabaña is a rustic Argentine BBQ spot featuring direct charcoal grilling. From the balcony you can take in sweeping views of the Han River and Dragon Bridge, making it a perfect location to watch the weekend 9 p.m. fire show.

Community rating: Thanks to its spectacular riverfront location overlooking the Han River and its airy balcony seating, it enjoys enthusiastic support on local online forums and in traveler reviews.

Unique location (access): Situated on the east bank of the Han River (Tran Hung Dao Street), right at the foot of Da Nang’s landmark Dragon Bridge (head side). It is just a 2-minute walk from the popular sights “Love Bridge” and the “Carp Turning Into a Dragon” statue.

Our tasting report

We ordered a steak platter with three kinds of meat, served with grilled mushrooms and asparagus. Everything was cooked to perfection—the meat was tender and juicy, with truly authentic Argentine flavor. It had been a long time since we’d had beef this delicious. Even when ordered well-done, it remained remarkably juicy. The Argentine red wine was served slightly chilled, a thoughtful touch given how room-temperature red can become warm in a hot country.

Service and space: The staff’s attentiveness is exceptional: water glasses are always topped up, used dishes are cleared promptly, and the owner personally makes the rounds to ask for feedback. We were also impressed by the attention to detail in the restrooms—bag hooks, feminine hygiene products, even free hair ties. The cleanliness and well-managed standards set it apart from other restaurants in Vietnam. The interior is quiet and conversation-friendly, and it can accommodate groups of any size.

Actual budget: For a full dinner including steak, side dishes, and wine, expect 1,000,000 VND or more per person. Advance reservations are recommended, especially if you want a balcony seat with a view of the Dragon Bridge. We plan to return next time to try the tomahawk steak.

DOM – The Wine Bistro ― A top-tier bistro in the city center with over 50 wines and exquisite lamb chops (with tasting report)



Courtesy of the author


DOM is a standout bistro in the city center where, in addition to the high quality of its steaks and wines, you can enjoy lamb chops praised as a "must-eat" and fresh oysters from Miyagi Prefecture.

Community rating: Highly acclaimed by gourmets in the city center and the international community, and regarded as one of Da Nang's finest French-style restaurants.

Location and access: Situated in the heart of Hai Chau District, about a 3-minute walk from Da Nang's landmark Administrative Center (city hall), and around 5 minutes on foot from the Han River Bridge and the popular Han Market; it stands on a quiet street corner with outstanding access to the city's main spots.

Unique experiences (appeal beyond a steakhouse): DOM is renowned not only as a premium steakhouse, but also for the exceptional deliciousness of its signature lamb chops. In addition, the restaurant keeps a carefully curated wine list of over 50 selections, offering perfect pairings (mariage) to maximize the flavors of each meat and seafood dish.

Our tasting report

A calm, relaxing space that’s perfect for enjoying a leisurely dinner. The much-talked-about lamb chops and mushroom soup are exceptionally delicious; the lamb is astonishingly tender and juicy. There is no hint of gaminess, and you can fully savor the meat’s natural sweetness. Both the T-bone steak and the duck steak are skillfully prepared, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and generous portions. Choose a favorite bottle from over 50 wines and you’ll have a blissful pairing.

Also, don’t miss the fresh oysters directly imported from Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. They were arguably the freshest in Da Nang—we even ended up ordering a second plate. The complimentary garlic toast was a delightful surprise.

Service and space: A warm, bistro-like atmosphere, a high-quality wine list, and heartfelt service. The owner, Dan, personally visited each table with care and even treated us to an off-menu local drink. This warm hospitality makes the experience truly “authentic.” There’s also a great-value happy hour that’s well worth taking advantage of.

Actual budget: Steak, soup, and oysters with wine or other drinks—ate to our heart’s content—for about 1,000,000 VND per person. For this quality at this price, it’s unbelievably reasonable compared with restaurants of the same class in Japan or Europe.

Advice from local gourmet experts: Tips for enjoying steak in Da Nang

To make the most of your steak experience in Da Nang, keep the following points in mind.

Advance reservations recommended: Scenic seats and popular spots such as Olivia's Prime along the Han River(Han River view)and La Cabaña near the Dragon Bridge(balcony seating)fill up quickly on weekends. If you want to secure especially popular seats, it’s safest to make an online reservation at least one day in advance via the reservation form on each venue’s official website.

About doneness: Locals in Vietnam tend to prefer medium-well or well-done, but for highly marbled premium imported cuts served at fine-dining restaurants(such as Wagyu or USDA Prime), we recommend trying medium-rare or medium so you can fully enjoy the meat’s natural tenderness, juiciness, and developed umami.

Are there romantic steakhouses recommended for a couple’s date?

Yes. Cabanon Palace is captivating for its breathtaking night view from the 21st floor and is perfect for special anniversary dinners. In addition, DOM - The Wine Bistro(visited by the editorial team)and Pink Salt Restaurant also offer refined, quiet spaces for a romantic time.

Are there steakhouses where you can view the Dragon Bridge fire show?

From the balcony of La Cabaña - House of BBQ(505 Trần Hưng Đạo), you can take in views of the Han River and Dragon Bridge. You can enjoy an Argentinian steak dinner while watching the fire and water show held at 21:00 every Saturday and Sunday. Advance reservation is recommended for balcony seats.

Prices vary greatly depending on the class of the restaurant. At budget-friendly places such as PapaSteak and Biu Steak, dishes are about 150,000–400,000 VND per plate; at mid-range and reputable spots like La Cabaña, Pink Salt, and DOM, expect around 500,000–1,200,000 VND per person; fine-dining restaurants such as Olivia's Prime, El Gaucho, and Cabanon Palace are around 1,000,000–1,200,000 VND or more per person.

Which steakhouse in Da Nang offers the best value for money (balance of quality and price)?

According to online forums of local residents, in the lower price range, Butcher Steak & BBQ and Biu Steak are mentioned most often.

Can you eat Japanese A5 Wagyu in Da Nang?

Yes. Olivia's Prime Steakhouse(74 Bạch Đằng)serves authentic Japanese Hitachi-gyu A5 Wagyu, with a 200 g filet starting at about 3,450,000 VND. It is also the only steakhouse in Da Nang to have been selected by the Michelin Guide for multiple consecutive years.

Do steakhouses in Da Nang require reservations? Is there a dress code?

Budget-friendly places generally don’t require reservations, but for restaurants with good views(Olivia's Prime, La Cabaña)and fine dining, especially on weekend evenings, it is recommended to book at least one day in advance. As for attire, most restaurants in Da Nang accept smart casual, and there is no strict dress code like Western steakhouses.

Are there steakhouses recommended for families with children?

Babylon Steak Garden (422 Võ Nguyên Giáp) offers a spacious garden setting and the fun of grilling your own meat on hot lava stones, making it very popular with families. PapaSteak and Biu Steak are also economical, kid-friendly options.

Do steakhouses in Da Nang accept credit cards or QR code payments?

Yes. At the “high-end” and “hidden bistro” category venues introduced here, major credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard are generally accepted without issue. Some venues also accept payments via local banking apps (VietQR). However, some small spots in the “best value (local style)” category or local eateries may be cash-only, or may add a card fee (about 2–3%), so it’s wise to carry a bit of cash just in case.

Do I need to tip when paying at restaurants?

Vietnam does not have a strict tipping culture. In fine-dining restaurants and bistros, a 5–10% service charge and VAT (value-added tax) are usually already included in the bill. Therefore, tipping is basically unnecessary; however, if you receive outstanding, special hospitality at places like “Cabanon Palace” or “DOM,” leaving around 100,000–200,000 VND (about 600–1,200 yen) on the table as a token of appreciation will be gratefully received.

Which steakhouses are comfortable for families with children?

For families, “Babylon Steak Garden,” with its expansive, lush garden space, is our top recommendation. The entertainment of grilling meat on sizzling lava stones is a big hit with kids. Casual spots like “Butcher Steak & BBQ” and “Biu Steak” also have friendly staff and an approachable vibe, perfect for lively family meals.

We have a vegetarian in our group—any recommended places?

We recommend “Pink Salt Restaurant” on Ha Bong Street in Son Tra District. While they pride themselves on meticulously curated premium steaks, they also offer a dedicated vegetarian menu. Even if someone in your group doesn’t eat meat, everyone can relax and enjoy a great dinner together at the same table.
