4 Must-Try Dinners in Cat Ba for the Perfect Night Out
Content summary
After a full day of island exploring—whether it’s kayaking in Lan Ha Bay, trekking in Cat Ba National Park, or catching the sunset at Cannon Fort—you’re going to need a good dinner. Fortunately, Cat Ba delivers. While the island is known for its chill vibes and ocean views, its food scene is full of surprises if you know where to look.
These four restaurants offer standout evening meals that combine flavor, atmosphere, and value. Here’s what to order when dinner time rolls around.
1. Quiri Pub & Restaurant – Seafood Hotpot
If you’re craving something fresh, shareable, and full of local flavor, go for the Seafood Hotpot at Quiri. Set right inside Quiri Hotel Cat Ba, this place turns into a lively hangout spot at night with chilled music and friendly staff. The hotpot arrives bubbling, packed with clams, fish, shrimp, squid, and loads of herbs and vegetables.
You cook everything right at the table, so it’s as much about the experience as the meal. It’s ideal for small groups or travelers looking to make new friends—especially when paired with one of Quiri’s house cocktails or local beers.

2. The Little Leaf – Beef Steak with Garlic Butter Sauce
Hidden just far enough from the tourist crowds, The Little Leaf serves up a proper beef steak dinner that’s become a favorite for those missing Western-style comfort food. The steak comes medium-rare by default (unless you ask), drizzled with a garlic butter sauce and plated with roasted vegetables and your choice of mashed potatoes or fries.
The space is laid-back and quiet, perfect for a slow meal after a long day. If you’re looking for a cozy dinner with full flavors and zero hassle, this is your spot.
The setting is chill and quiet, away from the loud tourist strip, so it’s a great place to enjoy a proper Western-style dinner without the crowd.
3. Secret Garden Café – Burger with Big Fries
Looking for something casual but super satisfying? The burger and fries combo at Secret Garden Café hits that sweet spot. You get a thick, juicy patty (beef, chicken, or vegan), fresh veggies, melty cheese, and a toasted bun, all held together with house-made sauce. The fries are hand-cut, golden, and served in serious portions.
This place is a little hidden from the main road, so it stays peaceful even during peak hours. It’s a great spot to kick back and dig into a comfort meal that tastes way better than you’d expect from a backpacker town.
It’s one of the few places in Cat Ba where the burger doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Perfect for when you just want something indulgent after a long day outdoors.
4. Casa Bonita – Pad Thai
If you want something quick but packed with flavor, head to Casa Bonita for their take on Pad Thai. It’s a solid, no-fuss version of the classic Thai stir-fry—rice noodles tossed with egg, tofu, veggies, crushed peanuts, and a tangy tamarind sauce. Chicken and shrimp options are also available for a little extra.
The portion is generous and the rooftop setting adds a nice touch of atmosphere, especially as the evening breeze rolls in. It’s a great option if you’re in the mood for Asian comfort food with reliable flavor and good value.
It’s a solid choice if you want a Thai-style dinner without leaving your rooftop view. Bonus: it’s vegetarian-friendly and easy on the wallet.
Dinner in Cat Ba Doesn’t Disappoint
Each of these dinner picks offers something different. For a social meal, try the hotpot at Quiri. Craving Western comfort? Go for The Little Leaf’s steak or Secret Garden’s burger. Want something lighter and fast? Casa Bonita’s Pad Thai has you covered.
Staying at Quiri Hotel Cat Ba? You’re in luck. Dinner service starts early, and their seafood hotpot is one of the most satisfying dishes you can find on the island. With a cozy dining space and full bar right on site, it’s a solid place to start (or end) your night out.
