Chookie's Hideaway

Ninh Binh


This vast place with a pool table and beer on tap serves good-value Vietnamese and Western food and has plenty of local information on what to do and see in the region as the company runs tours. Burgers, wood-fired pizzas, wraps and a few vegetarian options all feature, along with smoothies, cocktails, craft beers and a wine and gin menu.

Local beer by the bottle starts at 20,000d; Magners cider is also at hand for apple fans.
