Lạc Thiện Restaurant

About this audio guide

This guide to Lac Thien restaurant in Hue centers on a family of deaf and mute innkeepers who have run this eatery beside the old citadel gate since nineteen fifty-four. It follows the patriarch known as Mr. Lac and the homemade bottle-opening trick that turned an ordinary limitation into a running act for travelers passing through. You will also hear about the banh khoai pancake recipe carried through three generations, and the wall of notes left behind by decades of visitors.
