A great find during our stay at Balé Sampan! Welcoming atmosphere, fresh, and truly tasty dishes. Fast, friendly, and attentive service. Excellent breakfast, but also perfect for a relaxing break or a light, tasty dinner. Highly recommended! 🍽️✨

We come for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food is good. I like the corn and chicken soup, salads, and chicken steak. I didn't like the burger. Breakfast is delicious, but I won't order pancakes again.
