The river holds the morning longer than the rest of the city.
Why BACHDANG, why now
Da Nang's government launched the 'Danang Food Tour 2026' program this month, centered on the Bach Dang waterfront corridor along the Han River. The Cheer Fest culinary market at Dragon Bridge East Bank Park just opened as a nightly fixture, and the strip is drawing a different rhythm than the broader Hai Chau district.
1. Starbucks Bach Dang
- Tầng trệt, Khu phức hợp khách sạn, 50 Bạch Đằng, Hải Châu, Đà Nẵng 551020
- 4.5 · 3458 reviews · Brunch
The course opens here because mornings along Bach Dang need a slow anchor before the waterfront fills. Starbucks sits across from the Han River, next to the Hilton, with a two-level layout that gives the route a place to breathe before the walk continues south. It's brunch-category reliable, and the 4.5 rating across more than three thousand reviews means the stop won't surprise you with closures or off days.
Crew's note
The doors don't rush. Walk through when the heat lets go.

2. Nha Bep Cho Han Restaurant
- 22 Hùng Vương, Hải Châu, Đà Nẵng 550000
- 4.8 · 6034 reviews · Banh xeo
The course closes here because banh xeo is midday food, and this spot's 4.8 rating across six thousand reviews suggests it can handle the lunch push without losing pace. Ending at Nha Bep Cho Han keeps the route inside the Bach Dang program corridor the government is centering this year, and it lets the walk finish before the afternoon heat makes the riverfront less pleasant to linger in.

The walk between
The stretch between the two runs south along the Bach Dang waterfront, the Han River on your left and the culinary program corridor the city just launched this month. You'll pass the zone where the Cheer Fest market sets up each night at Dragon Bridge East Bank Park.
- Start the first stop early enough that you're seated before the two-level space fills with the mid-morning takeaway crowd.
- Time the walk between so you arrive at the banh xeo spot just as lunch service begins, when the kitchen is freshest and the tables turn fastest.
FAQ
- How long should I expect to wait for a table at the second stop during lunch?
- Visitor reviews note the restaurant was absolutely packed at lunch but staff were still able to find seats within five minutes despite the volume. The operation seems built to handle high turnover, so waits stay short even when crowded.
- Is this course suited for someone who prefers traditional, lighter flavors?
- One visitor review mentioned the food is commercialized and suits those who like stronger tastes, noting that traditional street food tastes plainer depending on preference. If you lean toward subtle seasoning, the second stop may feel bolder than you expect.
