Thảo Nhi Mansion – A Culinary and Cultural Destination in the Heart of Huế

A convenient location for visitors

Located on Đại Nam Street in Thủy Bằng Ward, Hương Thủy Town, Biệt Phủ Thảo Nhi is a well-known garden restaurant and a favorite with many visitors. It is only a few minutes from royal tombs such as Khải Định, Minh Mạng and Tự Đức, which makes it a great place to stop on a trip that combines sightseeing with the food of the old capital.

A true Huế garden-house setting

As soon as you walk through the gate, you can feel the quiet calm of a real Huế garden house. A clear pond, lush green bamboo, moss-covered tiled roofs and rustic wooden details make a setting that feels both old and welcoming. Some international visitors compare it to a harmonious blend of Sino – Vietnamese architecture that recalls the beauty of the old East while staying warm and elegant.

Refined Huế cuisine in every dish

The food at Biệt Phủ Thảo Nhi is distinctly Huế. The menu runs from nem lụi (lemongrass pork skewers), bánh bèo (steamed rice cakes), bún bò Huế (Huế spicy beef noodle soup), cơm niêu (clay-pot rice) and canh rau (vegetable soup) to simple country dishes such as thịt phay tôm (sliced boiled pork with shrimp). Each dish is carefully prepared, from flavor to presentation, and keeps the refinement of the old capital's cuisine.
The 7–8 course set menu is especially popular with groups, with a good balance of meat, fish, vegetables and dessert. The meals are tasty and also feel generous, which suits families, tour groups and parties.
