  Their Saturday Brunch was brilliant. Not too crowded and quite, calm ambient. The every menu was tasty and well presented. Their dessert was amazing! Loved Coconut ice-cream with mango. Only downfall was the smoking from the bar connected to the restaurant.

  Have you heard of the ancient town of Hoi An? Referred to as the Venice of Vietnam, with its stereotypical water canals, it was once the crossroads of the spice trade. You can imagine my excitement when I discovered a little replica of Hoi An in Dubai, a Vietnamese restaurant in the Shangri-La Hotel.
  
  The Dubai interpretation of Hoi An was very visual with colourful lanterns, framed snapshots of Vietnam, wooden banisters, domesticated palm trees and statues of Buddha. Vibrant lights reflected in panoramic windows looked rather exotic. A little candle sparkling through the petals of a textile lotus added an oriental feel to the table.
  
  A hot towel scented with invigorating jasmine stole my heart, and a serving of crunchy Asian crackers with a side of sweet chilly sauce, my full attention.
  
  Without further hesitation I started my food journey with a cup of green jasmine tea served in an emerald-green kettle, which was poured for me with traditional gentleness. A quick look through the menu reassured I was at the right place.
  
  I decided to leave my appetite in the hands of beautiful Vietnamese servers April and Tam, who passionately mixed dish descriptions with anecdotes. I giggled happily, feeling as I was right in the middle of the midnight city chatting over a cup of tea with new friends.
  
  My amuse-bouche was a piece of boneless chicken steamed and seared on a pan and then topped with a yellow flower. Spiced mildly for my complicated taste, it signaled a desire to popularize traditional Vietnamese cuisine by introducing it to a wider audience. Not everyone is a crazy chilly monster like I am.
  
  I started dinner with a selection of appetizers placed around a spicy house-made sauce. My main course consisted of baby chicken, giant shrimp and a delicious fish, tender inside and crispy out. All food was prepared using traditional techniques modernized to European taste.
  
  The best part of my evening was a bowl of pho soup with herbs, sauces and fresh chilies on the side. I spiced up my pho to the maximum with as many chillis as possible. What a delight!

  We went to the brunch and I have to say that they should work a bit more on the dishes presentation. I know it is a brunch served on a table but some of the dishes looked like were thrown on the plate.
  Otherwise the food taste was ok, the restaurant is not very big so it is nice because all the tables were occupied.
  We paid a good price because we had entertainer but I would not pay the real price of the brunch unless the presentation of the plates are improved.
  The first dish took a while to arrive but after that all came without any issue.
  The service is attentive and the décor is really nice.

  Still a fantastic venue after all these years. Hoi An remains one of my favorite restaurants in Dubai. The service is fantastic (A big thanks to Luwen for taking good care of us). The food is consistently excellent. I will definitely visit Hoi An again.
