Gio Bien Restaurant: what visitors should know first
Worth a trip if you are exploring the north and want a meal by the sea. It is far from Duong Dong, so arrange a taxi. Vegetarians will find the sources show only seafood and fish dishes.

Why it matters
Why Gio Bien Restaurant is worth your time
The north of Phu Quoc is quieter than the main town, and a beachfront seafood meal is an easy reason to go. For a family already driving out to the north coast, a named restaurant with a recommended dish makes planning simpler.
It does not suit vegetarians, Jain or vegan guests, and the distance makes it a poor choice for a quick meal. Use it as part of a half-day north-coast drive, and carry snacks in case the group needs them.

How to experience it
Wikivoyage places Gio Bien on the beach in Ganh Dau commune and describes it as serving fresh seafood and Vietnamese dishes, recommending the caramelised fish hotpot. We found no menu, price or hours, so check those with the restaurant or your hotel.
Ganh Dau is on the north of the island, a long way from Duong Dong and the resorts. Arrange a driver who will wait or return, because taxis can be hard to find on the way back. Going at lunchtime keeps the return journey in daylight.
Ask staff how the caramelised fish hotpot is cooked and whether it is spicy if you prefer mild food. Keep rice and plain vegetables as a fallback for children.
