Savour dinner as the river turns golden.

Dinner at The Merchant is an invitation to linger as the day softens into evening beside the Thu Bon River. In the gentle glow of lanterns and riverside light, the restaurant becomes a calm and intimate setting for slow conversations, thoughtful flavours, and the quiet beauty of Hoi An after dusk.

The menu celebrates contemporary Vietnamese cuisine inspired by Hoi An's rich culinary heritage. From familiar local classics and fresh garden dishes to thoughtfully crafted mains, each plate is prepared using seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers, fishermen, and artisans.

Whether you are sharing small plates, enjoying a refined riverside dinner, or ending the evening with dessert and Vietnamese-origin coffee or tea, The Merchant invites you to savour not only the flavours of central Vietnam, but also the timeless rhythm of river life that has shaped Hoi An for centuries.
