Bánh căn 51 is an excellent option for an unpolished local experience, complete with sidewalk seating on low plastic chairs. The 'banh can' are their main attraction: fried rice flower cakes that come topped with shrimp, meat, fried egg and/or greens, to be dipped in sweet chilli sauce. This one is among Nha Trang's most popular locations, but 'banh can' are served throughout town.

Dining
Each Vietnamese region famously boasts its own culinary specialities, not to be found (or significantly less common) elsewhere. Nha Trang is no exception: the city's waterside location ensures seafood is present in local cooking in its many forms, with unmissable specialities that include 'bun cha ca' (jellyfish noodles), curried or steamed snails, 'banh can' rice cakes, and pork snacks such as 'nem nuong' (grilled fermented rolls served with fish sauce).
