NGUYÊN SINH
Read moreNguyên Sinh since 1942. The house proudly displays its age. It may not look like much, but it's an institution, and the restaurant is always very busy. The atmosphere is typical of the Old Quarter, with its scarcity of space and jumbled layout. The restaurant has retained its taste for French gastronomy, whose influence can be seen in the dishes: bouillabaisse, beef (your choice of Vietnamese or Australian) satô. Satô, Vietnamese for Chateaubriand! We regret, however, the rather cold welcome and casual service.
GIA RESTAURANT
Read moreThe name of this restaurant, opened in 2020, comes from the term "gia dinh", meaning love of family. Gia offers refined, conceptual cuisine using typical Vietnamese ingredients: black H'mong chicken, bamboo shoots, Duong Qui ginseng... The careful presentation of the dishes, combined with modern culinary techniques in the service of authentic traditional flavors, has earned Gia a star in the famous red guide. The tasting menu is simply exceptional. A unique experience in Hanoi.
KAOYA HOTPOT
Read moreThis small two-storey restaurant offers Chinese recipes at low prices. The decor is colorful and modern. On the menu: Peking duck, grilled chicken, barbecued pork, beef, tofu... Accompanied by vegetables, salad, rice, noodles or soup. There's something for everyone. The portions are generous and the dishes are tasty. Fast service. The place is quite small and can quickly become crowded. An address to keep in mind when you're feeling hungry and want to vary your pleasures.
NEM NUONG NHA TRANG QUE HOA
Read moreInexpensive restaurant close to Lake Hoàn Kiêm, whose terrace stretches out over the sidewalk. You won't want to miss it, as barks energetically attract customers. It's an opportunity to sit on small plastic stools in the street and eat simple but tasty dishes, including an excellent bun thit nuong, a rice vermicelli salad with grilled pork, or a nem nuong nha trang, where you can make your own rolls with different ingredients.

CHÀ CA 84
Read moreLocated in a small street near Thien Quang Lake, this restaurant offers, as its name suggests, chà ca lang, a Hanoi specialty: fish marinated in turmeric and cooked in a pan on the table, accompanied by dill and spring onion, served with rice vermicelli, peanuts, mint leaves and other condiments. It's very tasty, and you can add fish nems (nem ca) to your meal. This establishment is frequented by locals, which is always a good sign. Smiling, pleasant service.

CUA HÀNG MAU DICH
Read moreThis restaurant is nestled in an ancient house in Ngu Xa village. A hanging bicycle serves as a sign. Inside, an intimate setting with whitewashed brick walls that host black and white photos as well as many objects from a time - the 1980s - when the country was facing scarcity and rationing. Tickets are used to place orders. Praise for frugality and ideal in reaction to the materialistic excesses of the present time? A good Vietnamese cuisine accompanies the reflection. Recommended.
BUN BO HUE O XUÂN
Read moreA very popular establishment specializing in bun bo hue, a 5-flavor soup from Vietnam's central Hue region. Chunks of beef, pork, thick rice noodles and bean sprouts are added to the broth and garnished with condiments. It's simply delicious and filling, as the portions are very generous. Several recipes are available. You can sit outside on the little stools or more comfortably in the dining room. The owner is a real character! Friendly service and English menu.
ÔC NONG HÀ TRANG DINH LIÊT
Read moreThis little street-side restaurant is a real hit with the locals. Customers flock here to sample the local specialities: snails and clams steamed with herbs, to be enjoyed on a little stool on the sidewalk. You can accompany your meal with a cold beer. You'll see two buckets: one with local herbs to wash your hands and get rid of the smell, and another to rinse them. An original experience.
HANOI FOOD CULTURE
Read moreNestled in a small alleyway, this pretty colonial house houses an excellent two-storey restaurant that makes a point of offering typical Hanoi dishes. On the menu: egg rolls, green papaya salad, cha ca, bun cha, roast duck, stewed pork... But also pasta and pizza for those who don't like local cuisine. The recipes are tasty and the portions generous. Cosy atmosphere and pleasant old-fashioned decor. Smiling, professional service. A very good restaurant in the Old Quarter. We recommend it.

WILD LOTUS RESTAURANT & LOUNGE
Read moreChic setting in an Art Deco villa for this restaurant whose owner wanted to bring the Buddha Bar from Paris to Hanoi. Good cuisine even if it lacks inspiration, with Vietnamese and Asian dishes and a European touch. You can choose between soups, grilled meats, etc. Popular with business customers. An address to frequent rather for dinner or to enjoy the setting and have a drink upstairs in cosy sofas.
SUSHI DOKORO
Read moreExcellent little Japanese restaurant. And yet, the management and the cooks are Vietnamese....Seafood of high quality, fresh and tasty. To be recommended to all fish lovers. A wide choice of sushi and sashimi, prepared according to tradition, before your eyes, if you choose one of the places at the counter. The establishment is very popular and the strong presence of Japanese customers is a clear sign. Finally, the restaurant offers particularly moderate prices given the quality of the products on offer.
NAMASTE HANOI
Read moreAuthentic and delicious Indian cuisine. Opened in July 2011, the restaurant is popular with customers, although the setting, with its kitschy airport lobby feel, lacks charm and personality. It offers a wide variety of specialities from northern and southern India. The traditional tandoor produces delicious naan. Indian travellers passing through Hanoi find themselves in great numbers in the establishment and are full of praise for the cuisine. Pretty good sign.... Attentive and discreet service that can even be French-speaking.
