Bến Trăng

“A leisurely cruise up and down the river with an English presenter explaining the history of the town.”

“What a great place to grab a bite along the river. Bèn Trăng is near the Hue Gá. The staff speak English and made me feel comfortable. The meal was great. I had dinner with crispy pork and Basil rice. So tasty. They also serve a really nice breakfast.”

“Food mediocre and smallish portions. Ordered a strawberry margarita and the whole drink was max 100 ml and I presume they just touched the tequila bottle to the side of the glass. (The larger drink in the photo is a mocktail.) View of river is nice.”

I wish I could give 10 stars for atmosphere - this might be the most romantic restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Couples look no further for your next date night! Came by myself on a rainy hue night, lured by the warm lights and gentle music. The cafe sits on the edge of the river and is the perfect place to watch the lights twinkling over the water. I ordered the vegetarian spring rolls, lotus seed tea and lotus seed matcha. All three were delectable. I couldn’t get enough. How lucky to find a restaurant with extraordinary food, extraordinary views and reasonable prices? Plenty of vegetarian options on the menu, though the menu is a little sea food heavy.

Excellent service and good food in an attractive location. There's a good range of cocktails and drinks, but no local draft beer. For us, the live jazz was over-amplified, which meant conversation was a bit stilted. But if you don't want too much chat, go for it. Prices a bit steep but food better than average, all very well presented.

service sucks. the staff are more into each other than showing any interest in servicing their customers. I dont recommend this place at all. service sucks. manager saw me and just ignored me asking for my bill to head out. there is no view from here, I dont understand why this was recommended. KATNAT has better views.

I took my friend to Ben Trang on a rainy October weekend morning — the kind of endless Hue rain that truly feels like our city’s signature. On a day like that, I treated myself to a comforting bowl of "bò kho" with bread and, of course, a hot cappuccino — just enough warmth for a stormy day. Hieu, the bartender, made me a beautiful cappuccino with smooth flavor and lovely latte art. The coffee wasn’t bitter or burnt, and the sweetness was perfectly balanced — enough to enjoy without feeling heavy or too sweet. Ngan, the waitress, was so kind and friendly, taking care of us with a genuine smile. Sitting there, watching the rain fall and feeling the gentle Hue breeze, I couldn’t help but think — whether you’re alone or with someone, moments like this are what make Hue so special. My friend visiting from the US tried the "bún bò Huế" and loved it! Highly recommend thiss place if you want to experience the real taste and mood of Hue — simple, calm, and full of feeling.

Bến Trăng Café & Bar is my best chill spot in Huế! 🫶 The view of the Hương River is unreal - perfect for slow mornings or a peaceful coffee break. 🍃 The vibe here is just right with stylish decor, super comfy seating, and a relaxed atmosphere. Plus, you don’t have to queue up - just order at your table and enjoy the moment. 🙌 Breakfast is top-notch! 👍 I went for the “bánh mì bò kho”, and it was amazing - rich, hearty, and perfect for a lazy morning. 😎 Friendly staff, great food, and the best view in town - what more could you ask for? Definitely a place to unwind and soak in the beauty of Huế. 💯🥳🥰
