About a 30-minute drive from central Da Lat, "The Wilder-nest Ta Nung," nestled in the hills of Ta Nung, reopened in spring 2026. This café, renovated after a temporary closure, has had multiple videos go viral on TikTok, drawing such popularity that lines form on weekends.
Google reviews 4.3/5.0 (over 341 reviews). Assessments like "as if you wandered into the European countryside" stand out. Cases of urban dwellers from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi visiting on a one-night, two-day weekend trip are surging.
The full picture of the café: a European-style hill with a stream and chamomile
The grounds spread across gentle hills, and wooden vintage-style buildings dot a meadow where wildflowers bloom in profusion. A stream crosses the grounds, and a clear little lake creates a "painting-like, poetic landscape."
The café interior is unified with rustic wood and minimalist furniture. Outdoor seating is central, characterized by an open-air design that "blends with nature." Photo spots such as a rotating-mirror installation and a wooden staircase are also designed throughout.
Photo spots and activities
