Spent a very pleasant evening with friends, chose the banquet as we didn't know what to order. The food was great the atmosphere a little noisy as there was a group of 10 but we had a great time the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend .

We had a great dinner date at this restaurant on a rainy Hanoi evening! The interior appealed to us as it has a colonial feel to it with nice design details. It was nice to sit in this nice atmosphere with dimmed lighting and appropriate background music while we could watch the rain through the big window doors. We opted... More

Dont go! This is the best advice I can offer about this restaurant. After reading the glowing reviews on TA, my husband and I looked foward to eating dinner there tonight. So, we gave up other options and made a reservation for this restaurant. What a big mistake! We are used to the best restaurants around the world, including Manhattan,... More

Had a very nice meal. It seemed very clean as lighting is quite low. Staff very polite and pleasant. Price was still quite expensive but no more than the many type of restaurant like this in Hanoi. Would eat here again.

Had a great dinner here with a female friend. The food was superb and full of taste, the French manager a very attentive guy and the service was of high standard. Can certainly recommend this restaurant before or after viewing a performance in the opera house as the building and decoration are beautiful and are in perfect line with opera... More

We just had a very nice meal in this restaurant with wonderful service and a great atmosphere. The duck with dumplings was very good and the salted squid was very tender. A big thank you to the staff for their service.

This restaurant is a gem in Hanoi, near the Hilton Hotel and the opera. We had not booked, but they found us a table upstairs. The food was great. We had the soft shell crab in taramind sauce which was lovely, and the duck. The service was excellent. It is more expensive than some restaurants - but you get what... More

This restaurant is round the corner from the metropole hotel. We really enjoyed the selection and quality of the food. The service from the manager was warm and efficient and we thought the quality of the food was excellent. The ambiance was also extremely enjoyable. Yes, it was on the pricier side, by Hanoi standards, but we felt it was... More

We selected several different meals and shared them, starting with the chef's selection appetizer. The Grilled beef Lemongrass in bamboo and Fried Seabass were excellent. The food was overall very good with a gourmet flair. The service was good and very attentive. Somewhat pricier than most Hanoi restaurants, but worth it.
