Quán cơm Bảy Bồng
A long-established home-style restaurant beside Chau Doc Market. Clay-pot fish, sour fish soup and fish-sauce hotpot are popular with both locals and visitors.
Bảy Bồng is near Chau Doc Market and is the best-known home-style restaurant in town, with more than 700 Google reviews. It also has a second branch on Trung Nu Vuong Street. Its signature dishes are southwestern water-country cuisine: clay-pot fish, sour fish soup and fish-sauce hotpot. During the flood season (roughly August to October), it also offers clear-stewed mrigal carp and river shrimp stir-fried with sesbania flowers. The old shop is small, crowded and stuffy at mealtimes, and parking is difficult. No reservations are needed. The flavors lean sweet, and portions are sized to the number of diners. A clay-pot fish costs about VND 70,000, sour soup and hotpot are priced by portion, and the average is about VND 50,000–300,000 per person.
