Hoi An Restaurant brings Vietnamese cooking to 4-5 Bruntsfield Place in Edinburgh. Its warm dining room uses lanterns and rustic decorative touches inspired by the historic city of Hội An, creating a relaxed setting for lunch or dinner throughout the week.
Fresh summer rolls filled with herbs and served with peanut sauce provide a light beginning, while fried spring rolls combine pork, prawns and vegetables with nước mắm. These contrasting rolls demonstrate the menu's use of fresh herbs, crisp textures and savoury dipping sauces.
Pho supplies the familiar centrepiece of Vietnamese noodle soup with a choice of meats. Rice vermicelli with grilled meat, vegetables and spring rolls offers a drier alternative, while crispy duck with a house sauce broadens the selection for diners sharing several plates.
The range works well for both a quick bowl of noodles and a longer meal assembled from starters and mains. With table reservations, daily service and a spacious yet cosy interior, Hoi An Restaurant suits couples, families and groups looking for traditional Vietnamese flavours in Bruntsfield.
