Situated on the banks of the Hoi
An River, the Red Bridge Restaurant & Cooking
School is designed to meet the growing
demand from local and international travellers,
for a quality Vietnamese dining experience with
personal service and individual style.
Located in 2 acres of tropical
surroundings, and only 2 kms from the centre of
Hoi An, Red Bridge is easily reached by car,
bike, cyclo or boat - please see below for the
Red Bridge free boat shuttle timetable.
The restaurant is open daily for
