On day tours to islands like Hon Mun, lunch is often not included in the ticket price — check in advance. There are cafes and food stalls on the islands, but prices are higher than on the mainland since supplies are brought in by boat.

For a comfortable trip with restaurant visits, budget 500,000-800,000 VND per person per day: this covers breakfast, a local lunch like pho bo (~$1.5-2), and dinner at a mid-range restaurant.

Louisiana Brewhouse on the beachfront is a popular spot with its own microbrewery and sea view; food and drink prices are noticeably above average (around 150,000-300,000 VND per main dish), but it's worth a one-time visit for the atmosphere.

For budget eating, look for local Vietnamese cafes away from the tourist waterfront — dishes like pho bo or bun cha cost 25,000-50,000 VND there, versus 100,000+ VND at tourist-oriented restaurants.
