Nhà Hàng Dê Chính Thư — Restaurant in Ninh Bình Province

Grilled goat was very expensive and so so hard to chew. The taste was interesting but neither extraordinary.

Rice wine is fun and local.

Beers were tempered almost hot and you add ice on it... So you loose beer taste if you like it fresh cold.

We loved the big crispy rice crackers with the mushroom carrot gelatinous soup !

I liked the small kind of oliva, with the brown sauce that taste cheese.

Be very careful about the QUANTITY. Even if you are three persons, i recommend you to take only one portion of rice ! it's very pitty that the employees doesn't warn, because it's a waste of food..

We just loved the atmosphere. There were no tourist and many locals people, enjoying the evening with friends and families. Two men came on our table. We could chat, it was very nice.

the staff does not speak any english. However they tried to communicate with Google translate :)

the thing i very much dislike is that you have a tourist menu and a Vietnamese people menu. In the touristic one you have half of the offer. That's not nice i think. Locals enjoy delicious various things, and tourists...

We went about 1pm on a Saturday and it was absolutely packed and incredibly hectic. The staff were rushed off their feet and probably did not need two western tourists trying to hail them down and get a table with all the buses of local tourists. However we persisted and we got a table and eventually an English menu (which is a slimmed down version of the full Vietnamese menu).

We got the grilled goat (which was really lovely flavour, definitely the nicest goat meat flavour we had) as well as the burnt rice, goat porridge and the stir-fried greens. All very nice and very different from the other places we had been locally.

There is lady out the front making the lemon tea, which is so unbelievably delicious, I could understand why so many people stopped and bought it up even if they weren't eating in. One of my favourite drinks across our whole Vietnam trip!!

Maybe it would be easier as a tourist to go at a quiet time, but overall it was a great experience to try the local...

We had a wonderful dinner here during our stay in Ninh Binh. I love goat but it is hard to find at home in the USA. This restaurant, like many others in this area specialize in goat dishes. Back home sometimes goat can be on the gamey side, but everything we had here was so fresh and tasty, no gamey flavor at all. The fried goat ribs were the star dish, but the burnt rice with goat porridge was also excellent. I highly recommend trying this restaurant. One word of caution we ordered the rice wine which was only 20k dong (approximately 80 cents US dollar) while the wine was tasty and fairly smooth it is obviously locally made as it comes in a recycled 500ml water bottle we drank a little more than half the bottle and had a hard time walking back to our home stay a couple km away. When we ordered the rice wine, we asked for two thinking it was a small serving due to the price, luckily the waitress said "ohh no, only one" in broken english, that...
