HoiAn By Mevui, Canggu

Shafa

As I stepped into HoiAn by MeVui, nestled in the serene area of Jl. Batu Mejan No 7x Br Padang Linjong, Canggu, I was immediately enveloped by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant boasts a stunning view overlooking lush paddy fields, creating a picturesque backdrop that enhances the dining experience. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and indulge in authentic Vietnamese cuisine while soaking in the natural beauty of Bali.

The menu is a delightful exploration of Vietnamese flavors, featuring must-try dishes like Bun (Vietnamese Noodle Salad), Banh Mi, and Pho Hanoi. I was particularly drawn to the Pho, which is offered in both Saigon and Hanoi styles. This variety allows diners to appreciate the regional differences in Vietnamese cuisine, making it a culinary journey in itself. One reviewer aptly noted, “I like that they offer both Saigon and Hanoi style pho,” which truly showcases the restaurant’s commitment to authenticity.

During my visit, I opted for the Pho Sai Gon, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The broth was rich and aromatic, with fresh herbs that danced on my palate. Another guest raved, “Best Pho of my life, thanks guys!” and I couldn’t agree more. The freshness of the ingredients was evident, and each bite transported me to the bustling streets of Vietnam.

While the food was undeniably delicious, the service was a mixed bag. Some patrons expressed disappointment in the staff’s enthusiasm, especially during peak hours. One visitor mentioned, “If you are used to the enthusiasm of most staff in Bali, then the staff in this restaurant obviously lack enthusiasm.” However, my experience was pleasant, with attentive service that made me feel welcomed.

For those looking to quench their thirst, I highly recommend trying the kefir. It’s a bold choice that complements the Vietnamese flavors beautifully, as one reviewer pointed out. And don’t skip dessert! The flan is a delightful way to end your meal, adding a sweet touch to the savory experience.

Despite some minor drawbacks, such as the occasional flies and the remote location, HoiAn by MeVui is a culinary gem that should not be missed. The combination of fresh, tasty food and a breathtaking view makes it a must-visit for anyone wanting to dive deeper into the culinary culture of Vietnam while enjoying the laid-back vibe of Bali. As one loyal customer put it, “Definitely will always come back and tell my friends about this restaurant.” I couldn’t agree more!
