TL;DR
Besides classic Vietnamese dishes (spring rolls, pho bo, banh mi), Phu Quoc has Karavan cafe run by Tajik owners serving manty and chebureki, plus Mediterranean restaurants for travelers craving familiar food after days of Vietnamese cuisine.
A Mediterranean restaurant opened on the island specifically for travelers who get tired of Vietnamese food after a few days of tasting local dishes — the owners deliberately catered to this demand.
Among Vietnamese dishes, Phu Quoc restaurants are especially good at spring rolls, pho bo soup, and banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) — worth trying first.
Near the Grand World area (not inside the mall itself) there's a cafe called Karavan run by Tajik owners — they make manty (dumplings), chebureki (fried pastries) and other Central Asian dishes, quality is decent even considering off-season lamb quality in Vietnam.
