The difference between here and Sapa is that they sell buffalos and dogs at Bac Ha, also it's 2.5h drive just for that! Still a good ezperience if that's your first market in Asia.
Backstage is nicely located, easy to find and yet there are no crowds like in other places. They have very good cocktails, bartenders make sure you like what they prepare for you. Atmosphere is chilled and friendly. We visited a couple of times and were always satisfied.
Well worth stopping by and visiting currently not open for business or serving food but the owner Andre Pruitt is on site and glad to give you a tour and talk about the café she is attempting to remodel it and open it for business once again
Don't miss this stop! The best coffee on our 40 day trip! The cook is a great conversationalist who was an extra in Erin Brockovich and knows the history of the movie Bagdad Motel!
