Cát Bà’s independent restaurants, numerous along the waterfront and Núi Ngọc Street, almost never have an official website: we therefore mainly list hotel restaurants and rooftops. For seafood, pick your fish or shellfish from the tanks and have it cooked on the spot, asking the price per kilo before ordering. The floating restaurants in the bay are mostly visited on boat trips.
