Just another great place to eat in Hue. The food was fantastic, the service good and the price was similar to all the rest in that area, very reasonable. Would certainly eat there again.

La Carambole has a distinct atmosphere, and serves good quality food. I was very happy to go to this restaurant, for its food as well its service. Food presentation is normal, but everything i tried it was great!

Me and my new husband visited this restaurant on our honeymoon. We were actually part of a Vietnam Intrepid group but had skipped the optional dinner with the group and found this place. What drew us in was the outdoor seating area, it had a great outdoor area at the front of the main restaurant which looked so inviting! The... More

It was good, recommended by our tour guide and we enjoyed the variety of food - from pizza to traditional Vietnamese.

Attending to the good references I had read on Rough Guide and Lonely Planet, I was expecting more. The food wasn't bad but ... didn't suprise me.

I went to eat there and I chose tradiotional menu with pumpkin soup, quiche, chicken with white wine and vinegar sauce & mashed potatoes and ice cream as dessert. I liked the pumpkin soup, mashed potatoes and the the cheese on the top the quiche. Icecream started to melt really quickly which means it's not the top quality stuff. Overall... More

We ate here twice while staying at the nearby Asia Hotel. We don't usually return to restaurants, but did so here as we had such a good experience. The staff are pleasant and friendly and the decor is cool, with a European twist but still a resolutely local flavour, think black and white prints of locals etc. The menu covers... More

La Carambole is a very popular tourist restaurant in Hue. I think the popularity may stem from it being mentioned in a large number of guide books. We ate there on about three occasions. Twice for lunch and once during the evening. At lunchtime the it is a fairly pleasant place. Largely empty. Prompt service due to the number of... More

Great food, well priced, accessible location. Only downside is that this is a very western restaurant - no vietnamese in sight!

Great fun, trying to eat with Diesels, scooters and Smokers belching smoke over you whilst sitting in a car park, an inch away from the other tables. However, inside it was very stuffy and even more cramped. The food was average and expensive but I can imagine that if you were over Vietnamese food and wanted a Western fix then... More
