The fantastic reviews on TA are absolutely right! We had a wonderful and memorable evening here with outstanding food and drinks and great live music. Indeed you have to try the chocolate brownie with ice cream dessert, it truly is a delight!

I am a vegetarian, I sometimes eat cheese but that's it. I came to this restaurant 3 times during the week I have been in Dalat; the first was time was good, the broccoli soup nice and a vegetarian lasagne which I enjoyed. On the second occassion the kitchen got our order wrong but we ate it anyway, the vegetables... More

SUSPICIOUS REVIEW. We find it strange this traveller is "from Dalat, Vietnam". Odd. If it is a legit review, we sincerely apologize for the mix up of the vegetarian order. For a vegetarian, getting a meat order could understandably ruin an evening. Sorry, we messed up. More

It has been a few years since I reviewed V Cafe - my first review was in 2010. Since then I have dropped in whenever in Dalat. Every single time I have been rewarded with an experience that deserves an excellent rating. Sometimes I have come for dinner and got great music. I never know what the music will be,... More

Vcafe is my favourite place in Dalat by far. Came here for an early morning yummy breakfast after a joyful walk around Xuan Huong lake, not only has delicious western food, and great music. Staff are friendly and attentive and the owners really cool too! I would definetly recommend the place, the food and fruit smoothie were amazing. Great value... More

Pizza tasted like a frozen pizza, the Mackerel with a side of pasta and veges was actually just carbonara pasta with a small fish fillet plonked on top. Lets just say less is more people's. Live music was good and nice to chat to the musicians and the bar staff. This is the only reason it scores an average.

This small neat and clean cafe is kitted out in almost English styled decor with a promo ent emphasis on live music. The food is vgood, from dessert to breakfast. One thing that bothered me although was getting charged for butter when ordered toasted bread which gave it a money making feel rather than a hospitable feel! All round it's... More

Curtis and his staff were fantastic. We had my daughters 10th birthday dinner at V-Cafe, she is now a big Curtis King fan. Great mix of food choices for families, great service, genuinely freindly staff, fun and entertaining. We enjoyed it so much we returned the next night, with other travellers in tow, they agreed it was a great night... More

The man behind this operation is a musician called Curtis King, who, apart from being a fine musician, is also a really nice person, and this comes through in the service and the entertainment at the V Cafe. I am not a great lover of live music while I am eating, but the atmosphere and friendliness here was irresistible. The... More
