The Good News is that the Lighthouse was wonderful. The Bad News is that it is now closed. Hans has advised me by email that he and Linh closed the Restaurant at the end of January 2012 but regret that it may be a few months before TripAdvisor removes The Lighthouse from the Hoi An listings. In case you have... More

We had this place to ourselves and it was a fabulous lunch, brillant table with views over Hoi an. Grab a taxi to get there though it's a little hard to find. More

The Lighthouse Restaurant certainly isn't the most famous eatery in Hoi An. Most tourists don't even know it exists, since it's on Cam Nam Island, across the river and through Cam Nam village, opposite Hoi An proper. But don't be afraid of the walk, or the fact that it isn't all that well sign-posted. The food here has to be... More

You will not be disappointed by your experience! We had a wonderful evening meal here on a balcony overlooking the river - try the squid stuffed with pork ..... a gourmet dish. The Dutch husband and Vietnamese wife team that own and run the restaurant are delightful people to talk to and learn about the real Vietnam. Incidentally, she runs... More

We loved this place on our last trip and returned today, but sadly for the last time - in the front of the menu is a note saying it has been sold and closes January 17th, and the owner confirmed it. The stuffed squid was still delicious and voted by my partner as the best in Hoi An - and... More

Food here was great. I had been thinking about having a squid dish for a while and based on the good reviews thought I would try it here. The stuffed squid was perfectly cooked and delicious. My partner had the chicken with peanut sauce, (A classic dutch dish which must be the dutch owners influence) which was also excellent. More... More

This restaurant is amazing, we went there about 6.00pm on a Monday and were the only people there. We were greeted warmly and shown upstairs to the dining area. Firstly, the dining area is set out amazingly, tables on small balconies with 3 tables inside. The chairs are wicker, with pillows and are very large and comfortable. We ordered a... More

There is a free boat to take you to the restaurant from Hoi An. However we missed it as it stopped running early. It didn't matter it was a lovely walk from Hoi An. The location is right on the river looking across to the beautiful lanterns of Hoi An. The meal was spectacular. We had the fried tuna with... More

We had a wonderful dinner in a balcony facing Hoi An city...The wonton and white rose were delicious and the curry beef as well. The homemade apple pie as well. Very good range of wines. Great service. The dinner was a bit expensive but fair price for what we ate. The place is not easy to find but it it... More

I came here for a late lunch while on my trip to Hoi-An. I was staying on Cam Nam island so it was a ten minute walk to the restaurant from my hotel. It's slightly off the beaten path but there are plenty of signs directing you to Lighthouse. It's right on the water and I suggest you ask for... More
