An Ơi Cafe & Restaurant in Con Dao, Vietnam

February 19, 2025 Melinda

While staying at The Secret in Con Dao, my partner and I decided to skip the breakfast provided at the hotel and explore a local eatery instead. That’s how we found An Oi Cafe & Restaurant — a cozy local spot serving up fresh, healthy meals all day long.

From breakfast to dinner, they offer a diverse menu packed with nutritious options, including vegan-friendly dishes. Let’s dive into why this spot deserves a place on your Con Dao itinerary!

An Oi is a mother-daughter restaurant that opened when they relocated from Central Vietnam to Con Dao in the summer of 2022. Their vision was to create a cozy spot where people from all over the world and the island could come together to connect with nature and enjoy the nourishing meals they made with love.

Every morning, they bake fresh bread, hoping to start their guests’ day with warmth and positivity. Their goal? To inspire people to appreciate the beautiful nature surrounding them, embrace a sustainable lifestyle, and raise awareness about environmental conservation.

Beyond the restaurant, the mother also teaches yoga at the local cultural center — so if you’re in the mood for a stretch, she’s got you covered! They’re also happy to assist with travel tips and island recommendations.

Pulling up to An Oi, we parked our moped right outside and were greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors. Inside, it feels like stepping into an intimate Asian home, while outside, you get a breezy, open-air experience with plenty of potted greenery.

There were plenty of seats available both inside and outside, but we decided to sit outside to soak in the peaceful island vibes on our last day in Con Dao.

I didn’t take a picture of the full menu because I think it’s more enjoyable to discover their offerings in person; it adds an element of surprise. Instead, I want to focus on the breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.
