FYI, First time using a Rough Guide to tour a country. I've been happy with the city information with exception of the food recommendations. My girlfriend and I went to Vuon Y Thao in Hue Vietnam. I wouldn't make my worst enemy to eat the meal. I'm attempting to reconcile how the food at this restaurant has deteriorated so greatly since the guide book was published in Oct 2009. I wish there was a way to remove it from the book in order to save someone else from spending $30 on a meal fit for a pig. Thanks for your time, Andy Pollack

YThao Garden is the BIGGEST RIP-OFF in Hue, if not the biggest rip-off in VN!! My husband and I were taken there by our tour guide who'd told us that we were going to taste "the most special, most delicious food, the same kind of food that was only eaten by the old Royal family"!! What a load of croc!! We paid USD100 to be fed food fit only for pigs - as someone else has said!!

This lovely restaurant offers fantastic 7-course set menus of Hue Imperial Cuisine. Every single dish is exquisite and beautifully presented with peacocks carved out of vegetables and green bean cakes moulded to look like fruit and served on a branch. It is simply delightful and delicious and at US$10 a treat not to be missed.
