A visit to the Art Cafe bar and restaurant is a must when visiting Dalat, located around 300 KM north of Ho Chi Mingh City.

Not only are you treated to fine dining and a selection of both Vietnamese and Western food, you also get meet the owner and artist, Vo Trinh Bien, if you go there evenings. Vo Trinh Bien's framed very unique and colourful art and finger paintings adorns the walls of the cafe. He also has a gallery two doors away in the upper level of the Nam Viet hotel.   

 I had the pleasure to meet Vo Tringh Bien in his gallery after lunch in the Art Cafe, of succulent chicken, rice and vegetables. He told me that he works on his art from 8.00 - 4.30 pm, spends valuable time with his family and then works evenings in he is frequented a lot by tourists.
He has been painting professionaly for over ten years and has exhite.
