Where to Eat Seafood on Phu Quoc Island? 8 Popular, Bookable Spots and Floating Raft Restaurants

Some links on this page contain advertisements.

Phú Quốc’s seafood scene shifts completely depending on where you go — port and beachfront restaurants in Dương Đông, the island’s main town, spots inside the northern entertainment complex Grand World, and floating raft eateries out on the water. The island stretches north to south, so choosing a restaurant far from your hotel can eat up a lot of travel time.

This article organizes, by map and area, eight Phú Quốc seafood restaurants bookable through the restaurant reservation service AutoReserve. In addition to AutoReserve’s listings, we checked each restaurant’s official site, local information sites, Google Maps, and review sites, and cited the sources in each listing (as of September 2026).

Dương Đông or Grand World? The 8 restaurants by area

The 8 restaurants in this article split between Dương Đông, the town on the island’s west side, and Grand World, the entertainment complex up north, while ⑧ is a raft eatery that moves with the season. Grand World and ① in Dương Đông are about 16km apart as the crow flies, so it’s easier to get around if you pick a restaurant near where you’re staying.

[PR] Restaurant Reservation Service "AutoReserve"

The address AutoReserve lists (Alley 111 Tran Phu, Duong Dong) is the location used from October through April. From roughly May to September, it operates off Sao Beach in the south, so confirm that day’s boarding point and how the pickup boat is arranged when you book. Payment is cash only.

Phú Quốc seafood: what should you order, and how?

Phú Quốc has seafood dishes you won’t find everywhere else. Here’s a rundown, along with how to order at by-weight restaurants.

Signature seafood you’ll see around the island

These are Phú Quốc specialties that come up in the menus and descriptions of the restaurants in this article.

For by-weight items, check the weight first

At tank restaurants, your chosen seafood is weighed and the price worked out from the rate per kilogram. Some, like ④, weigh it and show you the price right in front of you. Confirm the weight and amount before telling staff how you’d like it cooked. The table below shows the cooking methods that come up in the listing for ③ Đảo Hải Sản (phuquocmap, hotel84).

If you can't handle spice, adding “không cay” (not spicy) will get the message across.

Things to watch for with getting around and paying on the island

Here’s a summary of things specific to this island.

  • Choose your dinner restaurant near the area you’re spending the day in (Grand World and Dương Đông are far apart)
  • The raft eatery is reached by small boat, so factor in transfer time when you book
  • We could only confirm that cards work at ①, ④, and ⑦. Have Vietnamese dong on hand for the other restaurants
  • Check whether service charge or VAT is added separately to your bill

For how to think about tipping, seeour article on tipping in Vietnam: typical amounts and how to hand it over, and for cash on hand, seeour article on how to exchange money in Vietnam.

Restaurants that fit how you’re spending the day

Even within the island’s seafood scene, the right restaurant depends on how you’re spending the day. Based on location and hours, here are three ways to choose.

Want seafood with a sunset view?

Dương Đông, on the island’s west side, is where you can watch the sun set over the sea. Sunset in September falls around 6 PM, so booking to arrive around 5:30 PM gets you seated while it’s still light out.

  • ① Động Tôm Hùm – Lobster Cave: sunset from the second-floor seats overlooking the harbor (TripAdvisor review)
  • ③ Đảo Hải Sản Beer & Seafood: has beach seating and is featured as a sunset photo spot (hotel84)
  • ④ Nhà Hàng Hải Sản Phượng Hoàng: an open-air layout with sunset views (TripAdvisor review)

A day you’re catching the evening show at Grand World

On a day you’re heading to Grand World in the north, dining inside the complex keeps travel simple.

  • ⑤ Nhà Hàng Vua Hải Sản: a seafood restaurant along the canal
  • ⑥ Nhà Hàng Phú Quý – Grand World: seats up to 200, with a VIP room
  • ⑦ Nhà Hàng Hải Sản Bếp Nhà: watch the nighttime light show from the outdoor seats

Lunch on a day spent in the sea

The raft eatery mainly operates during the day, with some sources saying it closes at 5 PM (TripAdvisor). It’s safest to cross over while it’s still daytime.

  • ⑧ Bè Nắng – Quán Ăn Trên Bè: open from 9 AM. Fishing and swimming are free too (per the restaurant)
  • ① Động Tôm Hùm – Lobster Cave: open from 10 AM. Lunch runs 200,000–500,000 dong per person (Google Maps user reports)

Ride-hailing apps are handy for getting around the island. For how to use them, seeour article on how to use ride-hailing apps in Vietnamwhich walks through the steps.

How booking through AutoReserve works

AutoReserve is a service that lets you search for and book restaurants around the world in Japanese. For most restaurants in Vietnam, bookings are made as a “reservation-by-proxy,” where AutoReserve contacts the restaurant on your behalf to secure a table.

The difference between an instant booking and a booking on request

MethodHow it worksWhen it's confirmed
Instant bookingFor restaurants connected to AutoReserve, you book instantly by checking available seatsConfirmed the moment you book
Booking on requestFor restaurants that mainly take phone reservations, AutoReserve contacts them on your behalf to check availabilityYou're notified of confirmation by email or in-app notification once the restaurant replies

This proxy reservation service takes time while waiting for the restaurant's reply. Once you know the date you want to go, it's safest to submit the request by the day before.

4 steps from booking to your visit

  1. Open the restaurant on AutoReserve and request a booking with your date, time, and party size
  2. For a booking on request, AutoReserve contacts the restaurant to check availability (not yet confirmed at this point)
  3. You'll receive a "booking confirmed" notice by email or app notification
  4. Show up at the restaurant on your reserved date and time

A reservation isn't always guaranteed

  • A booking may not go through if the restaurant is fully booked, among other reasons
  • Due to relocations or multiple branches, the address listed on AutoReserve may differ from the actual one. Please check the address in your booking confirmation
  • Business hours and closing days may change, so please check the restaurant's page for the latest information

Frequently asked questions

Should I book a seafood restaurant in Phú Quốc in advance?

Popular restaurants can get busy around sunset and before or after Grand World’s shows. If you already know when you’re going, booking ahead is reassuring. AutoReserve’s booking service takes time to hear back from the restaurant, so request it by the day before.

What signature seafood should I try in Phú Quốc?

There’s herring salad (“gỏi cá trích”), sea urchin (nhum), and blue swimmer crab from Hàm Ninh (ghẹ Hàm Ninh), among others. In this article, we confirmed that Đảo Hải Sản, Phú Quý, and Bè Nắng all serve gỏi cá trích.

How much should I budget?

Bếp Nhà is listed at 200,000–300,000 dong per person, and Vua Hải Sản at 250,000–500,000 dong per person. For Lobster Cave, users report 200,000–500,000 dong per person at lunch. Since lobster and crab are priced by weight, deciding how much you’ll order before budgeting helps you avoid surprises.

How do I get to the raft eatery?

Bè Nắng, featured in this article, is reached by a small boat that ferries you from shore. It operates in Dương Đông from October through April, and off Sao Beach in the south roughly May through September. Confirm that day’s boarding point and how the pickup boat is arranged when you book. Payment is cash only.

Can you use credit cards?

We confirmed that cards work at three restaurants: Lobster Cave, Phượng Hoàng, and Bếp Nhà. Bè Nắng is cash only, and we couldn’t confirm the payment method for some others, so having Vietnamese dong on hand will keep you covered.

Should I choose a restaurant in Grand World or Dương Đông?

As a rule, choose whichever area is closer to your hotel. On a day you’re catching the evening show at Grand World, Vua Hải Sản, Phú Quý, and Bếp Nhà are convenient; if you want to watch the sunset, Lobster Cave or Đảo Hải Sản in Dương Đông suit better.

Summary

Phú Quốc’s seafood restaurants split into the town of Dương Đông, the northern complex Grand World, and the floating raft out on the water — choosing by where you’re staying and how you’re spending the day makes it easier to decide. At by-weight restaurants, the basic rule is to confirm the weight and unit price before it’s cooked.

All 8 restaurants featured in this article are listed on AutoReserve. Where the address or operating location needs a closer look, we’ve noted it in that restaurant’s listing. For dried seafood and pepper you can buy on the island, seeour Phú Quốc night market article.
