Mai Chau, being a largely remote area, does not have a lot of fancy food. The local food is largely made from the items grown locally. Some local delicacies include Xoi Nep Thuong (Steamed sticky rice with grilled meat) and sticky rice served inside bamboo shoots. Com Lam - salty sticky rice stuffed in bamboo is also well known. Ruou Can is the local rice wine. it is made from locally grown sticky rice, fermented in a pot and made so that multiple people sip on it at a time. Locally grown sugarcane and sugarcane juice is a must-have. Mai Chau ecolodge, Mai Chau Food and Mai Chau Sunrise Village Bar and restaurant are some places to eat.
