About this experience

Cù Lao Chàm Restaurants & Dining is the collective food scene on the Cham Islands, a UNESCO biosphere reserve off Hoi An’s coast. The dining options range from beachfront seafood shacks in Bãi Làng village to family-run eateries serving local catch and island-grown herbs. Meals here centre on freshly grilled fish, squid, and the island’s signature ‘banh it’ dumplings, often eaten with a view of the harbour.

What to expect

Most meals are served at low-set plastic tables on the sand or under thatched roofs in Bãi Làng, with the harbour and fishing boats in view.
Expect a menu built around the day’s catch: grilled parrotfish, steamed clams with lemongrass, and fried squid are common, priced per kilogram.
A typical lunch for two costs 200,000–350,000 VND including rice, vegetables, and a local beer or fresh coconut water.
Diners can watch the catch being cleaned and cooked in an open kitchen or on a charcoal grill beside the table.
The island’s ‘banh it’ – small glutinous rice dumplings filled with shrimp and wrapped in banana leaf – are a must-order at most family stalls.
Suitable for casual, budget-conscious travellers who want a quick, authentic seafood meal between beach visits or jungle treks, not for fine dining.
