When expats first arrive in Vietnam, the vibrant streets, tropical air, and endless local flavors can feel worlds away from home. Yet sometimes, a single taste is enough to bridge that distance. For those who grew up along the Pacific, oysters are more than seafood — they’re a reminder of ocean breeze, briny nights, and the comfort of something familiar.
That same flavor is now within reach in Vietnam. Through CFVN, authentic Canadian oysters — Baynes Sound, Fat Bastard, Black Wings, and Champagne — are harvested from the pristine waters of British Columbia and brought directly to Saigon, Hanoi, and beyond. Each oyster is CFIA-certified and carried through a strict cold chain, ensuring the same freshness you’d expect on the Canadian coast.
Where to Enjoy Them
In Saigon, expats often discover Canadian oysters at oyster bars in Thảo Điền, including Nanaimo Bistro & Oyster Bar, The Deck, known for its lively oyster nights. In Hanoi, high-end restaurants and hotel dining rooms feature CFVN’s supply, offering the same clean, crisp flavors to both locals and international guests. For those hosting private dinners or corporate events, CFVN also supports catering and retail orders, making it easy to serve oysters at home or at large gatherings.
Why CFVN Stands Out
With over a decade of direct partnership and investment in Canadian farms, CFVN is more than an importer. It is Vietnam’s most reliable gateway to Canadian oysters — trusted by chefs, hotels, and expats alike for authentic sourcing, certified safety, and consistent supply.
For anyone living abroad, food can be one of the strongest ties to home. Thanks to CFVN, that connection to Canada’s cold waters is always close at hand — whether on a plate in Thảo Điền or at a dinner table in Hanoi.
