☰Mê Linh Coffee Garden

Mê Linh is both a working coffee farm and a cafe, set on a hillside southwest of the city with long views across the valley below. You walk through the terraced gardens before reaching the open-sided pavilion where coffee grown on the estate is served. The cà phê trứng — Vietnamese egg coffee, made with a whipped egg yolk and condensed milk foam — is the thing to order here; the cool highland air makes it more appetising than it would be in the lowland heat. Arrive in the late afternoon when the light catches the valley.
