TESTIMONIALS
“Amazing Evening”
We booked this on the basis of other reviews on trip advisor. A short 10 min taxi ride out of town and you arrive at the small but perfect Aubergine restaurant. We all had different dishes and they were of a high standard. After, I spoke with the chef about his time in Japan and UK, very passionate about food as you would expect. Highly recommended if you are in Hoi An and want some fine dining. 5*****“Excellent Food”
We had dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious. I wish we were staying longer in Hoi An as we would be returning. Excellent service and the food was beautifully presented.“Fine Dining at its Best”
Unpretentious and delectable cuisine and service…I don’t think there was a single negative about our experience, except maybe that our stomachs were not big enough to have more courses of food. The lamb is amazing and the children’s spaghetti had our son licking his bowl (not completely new thing but still…). Quail salad, cheese platter…there is no end to how amazing this meal was. If we had been able to book this earlier we would definitely have had multiple meals here. No worries, we’ll be back for more next time.d overall it was a great experience.“Amazing”
We visited Aubergine49 for dinner and the staff welcomed us and were very friendly. Each dish had its own type of “zest” and special flavoring. Although it wasn’t air-conditioned, it was cool in the night and the kids loved it, especially the desserts! Highly recommend it if you’re looking for delicious French food!
Are you looking for a nice villa to stay in Hoi An?
Heron House is not only spoiled with its tranquil location, but also by the design of its three spacious rooms. Our three well-decorated rooms each measure around 65 square meters, leaving ample space inside to stretch out and make yourselves at home. If guests prefer to relax outdoors however, each room comes with a large veranda equipped with an outdoor sunbed, a hammock, and a set of chairs and coffee table… perfect for long lazy days spent with a book, a glass of wine, and stunning views of the rice fields.
