An Hai keeps the coast quiet after everyone else finds the beach.

Why ANHAI, why now

In 2026, the Pham Van Dong beachfront corridor is drawing Da Nang's MZ crowd and digital nomads as new concept cafes and cocktail bars continue to open. This is the strip distinct from the inland Son Tra Peninsula, and it's becoming a current hotspot for cafes and bars not yet captured by older An Thuong entries.

1. mi quang

The course opens with mi quang because mornings here should start low and steady. The noodles are 30k, the flavor is clean, and one visitor noted you can also get Cao Lau if you missed it in Hoi An. It sets the rhythm before the strip wakes up fully, and it leaves room for what comes later.

Crew's note

Bánh tráng breaks clean. The broth does the rest.

What visitors say

Good noodles and friendly service. You can also get Cao Lau noodles if you missed out in Hoi An. My Quang noodles were 30k each.

Love the Mi Quang here. Great flavour and affordable price. Testimony that good food doesn’t need to be expensive.

2. Ru - Brunch, Dinner, Wine

Ru closes the route because the second half of the day should tilt toward sitting longer. Visitors mention cozy atmosphere and a sommelier greeting, and the 4.9 rating across 44 reviews suggests consistency in a neighborhood still filling in. It's the kind of stop where the course can settle and end without needing to move again.

Crew's note

The candles set the rhythm before the wine does.

The walk between

Between the two stops, you're moving along Pham Van Dong, the beachfront strip where the fishing boats stay and new cafes keep opening. The corridor is still filling in, so the walk itself reads like a neighborhood mid-sentence.

  • Start with mi quang in the morning while the day is still cool, then let a few hours pass before Ru opens for brunch service.
  • Ru works better for the second stop if you're planning to sit through the afternoon; visitors noted both inside and outside seating, so check the weather before you pick.

FAQ

How is An Hai Son Tra different from An Thuong or My Khe?
An Hai Son Tra is the beachfront strip along Pham Van Dong Street in Son Tra district, distinct from the inland Son Tra Peninsula. It's gaining buzz in 2026 as new concept cafes and cocktail bars open, drawing a younger crowd not yet captured by the older An Thuong and My Khe entries.
Why start with mi quang and end at Ru?
Mi quang is affordable, quick, and sets a steady baseline without taking up too much of the morning. Ru is a brunch and wine spot with a 4.9 rating, designed for sitting longer, so it works better as the closer when the day can afford to slow down.
