Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream Hanoi

In a vast villa, French bakery-pastry shop. Delicacies: Paris-Brest, eclairs, feuillantines, fruit tarts, Saint-Honoré... can be tasted with fruit juice or coffee. And you don't leave without having filled up on almond tuiles and chocolate chip cookies. From breakfast, fresh croissants. In the central district, another store is located not far from the Opera. At lunch time or on the go, bistro cuisine, salads and sandwiches: 8, Phan Chu Trinh, distr. Hoàn Kiêm (Central district).

In the evening, the place is crowded with young people and families enjoying ice in a maze of motorcycles and crouching people. Since 1958, the inhabitants of Hanoi have been very attached to it. Ice is consumed in the middle of the street and the police are often mobilized to clarify the inevitable plug… in vain. The "Kem Trang Tiên" for the capital of the capital is Proust's Madeleine. More than the perfume of the ice - which is nothing exceptional - he finds his childhood, his love…

Artisanal bakery and French pastry shop. Copious breakfasts: English breakfast, American breakfast, Asian breakfast, but especially fresh croissants of the day, bread, butter and jam. The coffee is excellent. At lunch, bistro with daily specials. The menus are regularly renewed. Large choice of burgers, sandwiches, cassolettes... At any time of the day, for a snack and to succumb to the temptation of a succulent pastry, and even at dinner time, an ideal stopover during a stroll in the West Lake district.

In just a few years, Marou has become a must-have name for gourmets in Vietnam. A visit to the Hanoi boutiques is as much an experience for the eyes as for the taste buds. As in Saigon, the space is a veritable chocolate factory open to the public. Here, you can watch the roasting of cocoa beans while tasting pastries as original as they are tasty. A way to discover Vietnam through its different terroirs, as each chocolate bar comes from a specific province. Highly recommended for gift-giving.

Traditional Italian ice creams. The company makes it clear that it is Italian gelato and not a commonplace ice cream. Gelato is less fatty because it contains more milk and less cream; gelato, beaten more slowly, contains less air and has a denser texture; gelato uses only natural ingredients and absolutely prohibits the use of artificial flavours. Many flavours and all the flavours of Vietnam: hibiscus, young rice, lychee, mango... A highly recommended gourmet stopover in the Lac de l'Ouest district.
