Review of Xóm Lèo BBQ Dalat – A Grilled Food Spot with a Sunset View You Shouldn’t Miss

Looking for a grilled food restaurant in Dalat that’s tasty, affordable, and has a beautiful view? Xóm Lèo BBQ is a hidden gem for barbecue lovers who want to enjoy great food in the cool mountain air while watching the sunset over Dalat’s valleys. It’s a favorite not only for tourists but also for locals who come to relax in the late afternoons.

1. Location & Atmosphere

Located in the Huỳnh Tấn Phát planned area (Ward 11), the restaurant is about 10km from Dalat’s city center. Perched on a hilltop, it offers a spacious, open-air setting with sweeping views of greenhouses and the famous Thai Phien flower village.

The best time to visit is from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM, so you can catch the sunset while enjoying grilled dishes in the fresh air.

2. My Personal Experience: Familiar Yet Never Boring

My family has visited this place twice over the span of two years, and each time it still felt fresh and enjoyable. This is one of the best spots in Dalat for both tourists and locals to gather and enjoy grilled food in a cozy outdoor setting.

I went there around 6 PM and it was already quite crowded. So I recommend arriving earlier – around 4:30 to 5 PM – to grab the best seats and avoid the rush.

The venue is spacious and airy, with simple but clean decor. There's a convenient parking area and plenty of room for families or larger groups.

3. Bonus: Live Performances by Street Artists

One unique feature that I really appreciate is that the restaurant invites street performers to play music during the evenings. On my last visit, a young artist played the saxophone, and it was a beautiful touch – dining with live music made the evening feel so chill and memorable.

However, most of these performances are short since the artists are self-funded. I genuinely believe that if the restaurant officially hired them to perform longer, the experience would be even better.

4. Diverse Menu & Reasonable Prices

Xóm Lèo offers a wide variety of grilled dishes, hot pots, and small plates, with prices ranging from VND 99,000 to 300,000 – perfect for friends or family gatherings. Some standout dishes include:

• Grilled sturgeon with chili salt
• Grilled pork breast, ribs, and shrimp
• Grilled chicken with green pepper sauce
• Shredded beef served with rice paper
• Sturgeon or beef hotpot

The food is flavorful and well-seasoned, attractively presented, and service is fast even when it’s busy.
