Aubergine49
49A Ly Thai To, Hoi An, Vietnam
Aubergine49 is chef Nguyen Nhu Thinh’s intimate fine-dining address away from the busiest riverside streets. The cooking combines European technique with Asian influences and a mix of local produce and imported ingredients. Its menu gives space to carefully composed starters, seafood and meat dishes, followed by a proper dessert course, making it well suited to a deliberate evening out. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than ceremonial, with the kitchen’s detailed preparations providing the main sense of occasion.
