The Da Lat breakfast. Pork meatballs in hot broth with a baguette to dip — it is a bowl, not a sandwich, and it is what the whole city eats at 7am.

Worth knowing. Cheapest genuinely great meal in the city. Cash only, and it can sell out.

Chicken hotpot with la e, a basil-like highland herb that grows nowhere else. The original branch, and the correct thing to eat on a cold Da Lat night.

Grilled pork sausage that you roll yourself in rice paper with herbs and green banana. The famous one — cards accepted, which is rare at this price.

Worth knowing. Sources list three different addresses. Search the name in Grab rather than trusting a street number.

Mini rice pancakes cooked with quail egg in clay moulds. The classic address, and the alley location is part of it.

Worth knowing. Two short windows only. If you want banh can at another time, Banh Can Nha Chung by the cathedral runs 07:00–21:30.

Grilled rice paper with egg, dried shrimp and spring onion — the so-called Vietnamese pizza, invented here and best eaten standing up.

Hot soy milk with fried dough sticks, sold from the same corner for forty years. Evenings only, and there is always a queue.
