Prime Location in the Heart of Sapa

Chợ Tình Quán, located exclusively at 63D Fansipan, sits right in the center of Sapa town. It’s surrounded by a host of famous attractions and check-in spots such as the central square, the ancient stone church, Cát Cát Village, and bustling streets filled with shops open day and night.

To complete the feast, the restaurant also serves a variety of local beverages. These include corn liquor, wild rose wine, Xả Séng plum wine, docynia indica wine, and apricot wine — specialties bursting with the intoxicating flavors of the mountains that leave lasting impressions on visitors.
