Food trends come and go in a matter of seconds in this city, but the one thing that never seems to change is Saigon’s appetite for a brunch that is as bottomless as the bowls of pho served up on every street corner. Ho Chi Minh City’s brunch culture is, like the city itself, varied, globally oriented and usually a mix of masterful fusions. 


We know the tried and true brunch spots everyone oozes from on a Saturday and Sunday morning, but brunch in Saigon is wayyyy more than these time-tested spots. I’ve picked 10 of Ho Chi Minh City’s most underrated breakfast joints that are totally worth rolling out of bed for.

When it comes to planning a girls getaway outside Saigon it’s almost too easy to jump on a bus to the beach or hop on a plane to the North. And even though Can Tho has been on my Vietnam-bucket-list since I moved to Ho Chi Minh City three years ago, I never buckled down and booked a trip. After mulling over all the places we wanted to go to for New Year’s Eve, we made a list, checked it twice and the Victoria Can Tho Resort looked like an absolute paradise!

It was official. I’d finally be able to cross the Mekong Delta’s largest city, Can Tho, off my never ending bucket list. Floating markets, thousands of winding canals, an incredible riverside resort and endless relaxation from the comforts of a poolside lounger? That sounded like the perfect way to ring in the New Year to me! The Victoria Can Tho was the perfect escape from the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City. Sitting on the banks of the Hau River, Victoria Can Tho offers 4-star comfort amongst its beautifully constructed colonial-style architecture and lush tropical gardens. It was easy to spend our days relaxing by one of their incredible pools, sipping ice-cold cocktails and soaking up the Mekong sun! So, whether you’re looking for fun weekend getaway ideas, things to do in Can Tho or a fabulously located resort in the area, keep scrolling to find out how you can have a dreamy weekend getaway in the Mekong Delta’s Can Tho too!

Checking-In To The Victoria Can Tho After a short three hour stint on the bus from Saigon we made it to the stunning Victoria Can Tho. Strolling through the lobby we were greeted with the timeless charm of its Indochine architecture. Beautifully crafted dark wood furniture, stunning tile work and touches of Vietnamese design is what makes the Victoria Can Tho authentic and connected to the local experiences. With a tasty welcome drink in hand and a cold towel to cool us down, we relaxed in the lobby overlooking the Victoria Can Tho’s dreamy pools soon to be calling our name! Once our room was ready and we had officially checked-in, the wonderful staff who had already made us feel so welcome, showed us up to our room.

Elegant Rooms With Incredible Views I absolutely adore the feeling of throwing open the door to a fresh resort room for the first time. Everything just perfectly placed, waiting for our arrival, the crisp clean sheets longing to be jumped into. That is a feeling that never gets old and the Victoria Can Tho was exactly what I had been hoping for! My first impressions of this incredibly beautiful resort room had been completely overhauled when I stepped out onto our own private balcony. Overlooking the beautiful resort below, this was definitely a view I could wakeup to everyday! Victoria Can Tho’s air-conditioned rooms are designed with hints of Vietnamese culture from the decorative fabrics to the beautiful wood furnishing. Included, is a seating area, flat-screen TV and minibar. An en suite bathroom comes with a bathtub, shower and toiletries. It’s all in the details for the Victoria Can Tho, as each night a local Vietnamese legend and bedtime treat is waiting for you to enjoy before you cozy up into those sheets! It was so much fun to read our little bedtime story and enjoy the cookies that came along with it every night! What a treat!


Relax, Rejuvenate, Lounge, Swim Our first order of business. The pools. A girls getaway weekend just wouldn’t be complete without a little pool-side relaxation. And a margarita or two. Victoria Can Tho is the perfect place to sit back, relax and soak up all the sun the Mekong has to offer. Their two large pools offer endless views and a beautiful backdrop to a day of unwinding. Victoria Can Tho also has their own riverside spa village which includes 7 indoor and semi-outdoor treatment rooms. They offer massages, wraps, scrubs, facials and salon treatments done by professional therapists. It’s next to impossible not to soak up all the relaxation Victoria Can Tho has to offer!


Spices Restaurant at Victoria Can Tho Tucked inside the resort is the incredible Spices Restaurant. Food is one of the most important players in making your trip memorable and Spices Restaurant definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant sits next to the Hau River and has both indoor and outdoor seating areas. We ended up loving the dishes they served up we really didn’t see a need to venture out of the resort for every meal. Breakfast, included with your stay, is a tasty buffet spread of fruits, cakes and various hot dishes. There’s an incredible omelette station, a create-your-own-pho bar, endless cereal options, coffee, tea, lattes, freshly squeezed juices and plenty of breads to butter up! Lunch and dinner menus also consist of tasty European and Vietnamese dishes, prepared by the hotel’s amazing French chef. Everything is authentic, delicious and beautifully presented. The food is incredibly fabulous and the service is excellent. The fungi pasta, wild mushrooms in a creamy sauce, and sautéed duck with cashew nut were unforgettable and some of the best food I’ve had in a very long time!

What To Do In Can Tho City → Checkout Cái Răng Floating Market Cái Răng is the biggest floating market in the entire Mekong Delta. It’ll be an early wake up call as the market is best from 6am to 7am, but undoubtedly a morning to remember! Victoria Can Tho offers their very own floating market tour bringing you by boat from the hotel up the river to get your hands on that infamous floating breakfast!

→ Grab A Drink By The River At Sao Hôm Restaurant If you’re downtown Can Tho then you can’t pass up having a nice cold Tiger at Sao Hôm restaurant. Overlooking the river, this cute little spot is the perfect place to grab an afternoon drink before exploring a little bit more of city.

→ Peek Inside Sau Hoai's Local Rice Noodle Factory Take a step inside Can Tho’s rice noodle factory and see how they ingeniously craft their own local noodles! Give the entire process a try yourself as the owners and staff show you around and reveal how they make those delectable noodles we all love!

→ Enjoy The Hau River By Dinner Cruise Can Tho is all about taking advantage of its beautiful waterways so why not enjoy a spectacular evening dinner spread as you float down the Hau River. Victoria Can Tho offers an amazing sunset dinner cruise featuring an exquisite set menu from 7:00pm to 9:00pm.


→ Grab All-Day Brunch At The Lighthouse Restaurant Who doesn’t love brunch at any time of day? Especially when it’s at a cute little French fusion restaurant? The Lighthouse is a great spot serving up tasty food, good coffee and delicious cocktails right in the middle of the city!

→ Hire A Long-Tail Boat There are so many ways to explore Can Tho, but the best way is always by boat. Hire a local long-tail boat for a couple of hours and have them take you through some of the 27,000 canals found throughout the region. These winding and weaving back water-ways are exactly what Can Tho is all about.

→ Eat All The Kẹo Dừa Your Heart Desires If you don’t know what kẹo dừa is, then you’re in for a treat! Kẹo dừa, translated is coconut candy and its origin is right here in the Mekong Delta. You’ll find many coconut candy factories throughout the Mekong Delta crafting these tasty little treats. Made from coconut milk and coconut cream you just have to get your hands on a few before you leave!

Checking-Out Of Victoria Can Tho What can I say? Victoria Can Tho was the perfect weekend getaway under the Mekong sun! There is nothing better than lounging in the timeless elegance that is this beautiful resort. The stunning architecture and touches of Vietnamese design make this a destination not to miss! We had such an incredible weekend at the Victoria Can Tho, our only regret is that we didn’t think to visit earlier! At the end of the day we all work hard for our holidays under the sun and we deserve a little rest and relaxation every now and again, so why not throw a Can Tho getaway into the mix? Its hidden charms, attractive riverfront and proximity to the fascinating floating markets and waterways make Can Tho a fabulous destination for adventure seekers and relaxers alike! With such a warm welcome into the Victoria Can Tho it was a sad and heartfelt goodbye. We truly did not want to leave our fabulous weekend away. The incredibly lovely staff at Victoria Can Tho were exceptionally accommodating, very helpful and made our stay more than perfect. We could not have asked for a better way to ring in the new year, then by celebrating with everyone at Victoria Can Tho!

Growing up, camping was synonymous with summer. My mom in her minivan, driving me and my friends up the back roads of rural Canada. Me yelling “see you in a week” as we ran down to our cabins trying to get first-pick of our bunks. It was wooden cabins and crummy tents that consistently involved some degree of discomfort in exchange for outdoor wonder. A terrible sleep, freezing-cold midnight trips to the bathroom and that instilled fear of raccoons nibbling on your ears during the wee hours of the morning. But I loved it. Back then. 


Fast forward to today and camping doesn’t have the same appeal it once did. The thought of pitching my own tent in a Vietnamese forest sends shivers down my spine. I was craving that untouched nature, I wanted to watch the stars, but I also wanted a cozy bed to slip into at the end of the night. So a weekend glamping getaway with Asian Trails Vietnam and LAK Tented Camp was exactly what I had been looking for!


Glamping. The perfect combination of camping with a little bit of glam thrown in there. All the outdoor exposure of camping, but with an elevated level of comfort inside a beautiful luxury tent. LAK Tented Camp was exactly that. It was the perfect way to spend a weekend escaping the hustle and bustle of Saigon. Relaxing by the lake side in the Central Highland of Đắk Lắk, LAK Tented Camp is both a sustainable and picturesque glamp-site that will have you cozying up in Mother nature’s arms in no time. LAK Tented Camp is the absolute best spot to go glamping in Vietnam and I'm about to show you why!





Getting To LAK Tented Camp

A big thanks to Asian Trails Vietnam, who planned and organized our dreamy escape to beautiful Đắk Lắk, Vietnam. As one of Vietnam’s leading tour operators, Asian Trails Vietnam helps you create your dream vacation. Whether that’s relaxing by the beach, adventuring on a jungle trek, getting cozy on a family getaway or having an eco-friendly accommodation in the mountains, they’re always ready to help you curate that perfect holiday you’ve been dreaming of. Check them out at: AsianTrails.vn to start planning your next holiday!


Only a 45 minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City will land you in the city of Buôn Ma Thuột, a.k.a. the beautiful Central Highlands of Đắk Lắk Province. From the airport LAK Tented Camp is more than willing to help arrange a car, bringing you to Lắk Lake boat pier. The drive will take about an hour before you must take a 15 minute boat ride across the lake. It was a smooth and seamless transport to arrive at the beautiful LAK Tented Camp which made the stress of getting there nonexistent.

LAK Tented Camp's Dreamy Glamping Oasis


As soon as I stepped off the boat, I was in absolute awe. Stars, wildflowers, mountains, the smell of fresh air after it rained, this was exactly what I had been missing. Overlooking the picturesque Lắk Lake, LAK Tented Camp is a stunning little Đắk Lắk oasis full of rich culture and natural beauty. Stretching over 4.8ha, the property features 15 lake view tented lodges, 4 lakefront wooden bungalows and Y LAK Restaurant, a tastefully restored M’Nong long house with an indoor dining hall, stocked bar and multiple terraces stretching out over the lake. They also cultivate their own vegetable garden, which makes up more than half of the kitchen’s ingredients. And trust me you can taste the freshness in every bite!


In an effort to maintain sustainability, building LAK Tented Camp meant a goal of cultural integrity, preservation and environmental protection so that they could offer guests an eco-friendly, yet comfy stay in harmony with local architecture and ecology. This meant no forests, habitats or homes were destroyed to make way for their campsite. Incredible!







Our Very Own Glamper

Nestled in its green bower, our tented lodging was a dreamy escape that should be at the top of everyone’s bucket list. Without having to ‘rough it’ we still got those scenic views that come with the great outdoors. That means no bugs, no dirt, just plush beds, fresh coffee, soft pillows, clean towels, a real bathroom and of course air conditioning! It also helped that our glamper was completely picture-perfect. I mean, who wouldn’t want to stay here?


In case you were curious: both your private bathroom and shower are separate little rooms right outside the front of your tent.









What To Do At LAK Tented Camp


Aside from soaking up Lắk Lake’s beauty from the comforts of your tent, LAK Tented Camp offers some unique tours that let you immerse yourself in the surrounding area and local communities. From visiting the local M’Nong villages, to a lush botanical walk leading you to a stunning waterfall, to bike rides, cooking classes and learning how local pottery is made, there is so much to experience and take in while visiting!


→ Visit The Local M’Nong Village


Visiting the M’Nong ethnic group in Vietnam’s Đắk Lắk province was an incredible way to get a deeper insight into the daily lives of the people that live in this more remote region of Vietnam. There are over 45 ethnic minority groups living in Đắk Lắk and each has been able to keep and maintain their own cultural characteristics. So, I was extremely excited to be invited into these very smiley, happy peoples' lives, even if only for a couple of hours.


We started our morning off taking a boat to the west shore of Lắk Lake, toward the M’Lieng Village. Once off the boat we hopped onto our bikes for a short stint around the village before stopping at a local potter to watch how the M’Nong traditionally make their pottery.  





No pottery wheels needed here y’all, instead the M’Nong typically rotate themselves around the clay! It was so captivating to watch. Our wonderful local guide also told us that the clay they used is carried all the way from the quarry to the village, where it’s then molded and sculpted into beautiful works of art. This is typically done by the women of the M’Nong in minutes! Once finished, it’s left in the sun to dry out before it’s then baked over an open fire for sealing. It really is an incredible process. And all I'm saying is that I definitley couldn’t make such amazing pottery, so I'm happy that I could buy one for myself instead.





After a short bike ride back through the village and local coffee plantations, we were invited to a typical M’Nong long house where the family grows and produces their own cacao plants. I don’t know about you but the cacao seed is far from what I imagined chocolate to be. They spoke to us all about the cacao plant and the processes for growing, letting us try raw cacao seeds and even offering us their fermented cacao drink which surprisingly turned out to be delicious!




Always welcoming and the smiliest people I know, the M’Nong have been able to keep their living traditions intact in Đắk Lắk, including their matriarchal society, long house architecture and communal life. Visiting the local village was such an experience and I’m forever grateful to the M’Nong people for letting me take a small glimpse into the beauty of their lives. 





→ Visit Bim Bip Waterfall


Take a spectacular hike through the beautiful botanical jungle and coffee plantations as you make your way up to the stunning Bim Bip waterfall. Once you arrive, slip into the chilly water while you wait for your guides to prepare a delicious BBQ lunch.

Have A Paddle On Lắk Lake 


There is nothing more breathtaking than kayaking out on the lake as the sun rises between the hills! Watch the fisherman paddle their boats with their feet and haul in their nets with the catch of the day or just sit back, relax and soak up the sun as you float along the lake.


Photo by: LAK Tented Camp

→ Meet The M’Nong Elephants


The M’Nong have lived with elephants for more than a thousand years and consider them to be valuable members of the village community. You can meet ‘Ma Tau’ the 31 year old female elephant who will walk in from the jungle to the feeding grounds to spend time with you. She is incredibly happy when you feed and chat to her!


Photo by: LAK Tented Camp

→ Watch The M’Nong Gong Performance


LAK Tented Camp invites the local M’Nong people to share their culture and traditions through various performances of song, gong, games and dance. This show truly takes you to the heart of the M’Nong people and was a lot of fun to watch and be a part of. 


Beginning with a welcoming ceremony, the women attending the show (a.k.a. me) are first to be invited to drink from the local Can wine which is made from fermented rice and a variety of herbs. The wine is left to ferment for six months before it's ready to enjoy. Sharing it with guests is considered an honor in many of Vietnam’s highland communities. Aside from the taste, it's something I will always remember.


The M’Nong are a very musical people with many of their songs paying respect to their different gods. We were treated to their harvesting, thanksgiving and fire performances, which were spectacular and made you feel the love that emanates out of the M’Nong people.





Y LAK Restaurant’s Tasty Dishes & Terrific Views


Food is an essential part of culture. And if you know me you know I dive head first into new dishes, fusion dining and drool-worthy local cuisine. The food at LAK Tented Camp’s Y LAK Restaurant was nothing short of amazing! Our weekend consisted of mainly a Vietnamese set menu, with tons of local specialties. There was also a daily breakfast buffet including both an omelette and soup station, bread bar, different cereals, various fruits and other delicious food options. Y LAK Restaurant blew my expectations of Vietnamese food out of the water and we always left happy, full and excited for our next meal.


At LAK Tented Camp their food is an essential part of their eco-resort concept, meaning it’s healthy, natural and local. With their own organic garden, they make it a point of using as many of their own vegetables as possible when cooking for guests. They also offer cooking classes where you can visit, learn, smell, touch and taste the herbs and vegetables with their chef! 











Checking-Out Of LAK Tented Camp

This was a no stressing, just glamping weekend getaway! LAK Tented Camp was the epitome of relaxing, with those real rural life experiences, but also the luxuries of excellent meals and soft down bedding. It's like staying at a beautiful all-inclusive resort with canvas walls. This one-of-a-kind property blends perfectly with the incredible Lắk Lake landscape and is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a total holiday experience while relaxing in the great outdoors.


With a warm welcome from LAK Tented Camp’s staff, we were made to feel at home right off the bat. As we sipped away our delicious welcome drinks on Thursday evening, watching the clouds hang over the mountains, I knew 3 nights wouldn’t be long enough to soak up the beauty that’s offered here. No words can describe how incredibly excited we had been to arrive at LAK Tented Camp and how very sad we were to leave!


I could go on and on about how perfect our glamping weekend was, but truly it wouldn’t have been the same if it wasn’t for the incredibly lovely staff at LAK Tented Camp. They were exceptionally accommodating, very helpful and made our stay that much better. Most of LAK Tented Camp’s staff are from the surrounding communities including the M’Nong ethnic group, which explains why they were all so wonderful to be around!


With Đắk Lắk only being a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City, we will definitely be back soon!
