"A Backpacker Classic Long established as one of Hoi An's best backpacker hangout, Before and Now is a more mellow alternative to the livelier traveller bars located across the bridge from the old town. It is a place for swapping travel tales and tips over cold bottles of Vietnamese beer."

Very nice place. We ordered English breakfast (85.000) and continental breakfast (95.000). Cafe more expensive than usual, but tasty, clean and fast. The best thing is that they give you free coffee for the cake. Cakes are excellent

We enjoyed this restaurant, with some great local food, as well as some nice pasta dishes if you need some comfort food. But save room for amazing juices and cocktails. Some of the best we had in Hoi An. The atmosphere is even better with nice art work.

Best pumkin soup!! We loved the food and atmosphere. Got amazing pumpkin soup and cocktails and pizza that were great! But the apple crumble was disappointing.

Big portions and good service. Came here with a group of 4 during Happy Hour and we all liked it. Prices are reasonable.

The pizza was the best I've had in SE Asia! We are there twice. Get a table by the street and the people watching is fantastic. I loved the vibe there!

We came here for dinner, and out of pure curiousity I wanted to try their pizza. 🍕 Went for the pepperoni and I think it was pretty great actually! Let’s not forget we’re not in Italy, and let’s enjoy the fact that they didn’t skimp on the cheese. It was yum! 🧀 Even had some drinks and dessert, it was really a genuinely nice place to spend time at. Service was super fast and really good, prices as well. Definitely recommend! 👌

Nice place with good drinks and good working air conditioning, really not very common in Hoi An! We had iced Vietnamese coffee, juice and cakes and were really satisfied!

Great place to eat, or for a drink, or even for a cake - friendly waitresses who speak English - I love this place!
