French Restaurants in Hanoi

French  Restaurants in Hanoi

I work in tourism I saw many Singaporean tourists, Asian tourist or even French tourists when they come to Hanoi they want to try some Good French Restaurants in Hanoi.

As my experiences and review from others tourists and French who is living in Hanoi I would like to recommend some restaurants below:

1.    Le Beaulieu Restaurant in Metropole Hotel – Ngo Quyen street with French chief but Foods are good and as well as prices are expensive, I only come here to eat whenever someone invite me :)

2.    Shalimar Restaurant – 63 Ma May street, Hoan Kiem district tel 04 3926 2897, The foods are good and reasonal prices I think it should be good for tourists to save your budget, located in old quarter and it is easy for you to find the place.

I often come here with my family and also all the foods they offer from their suggestions because I have no idea with names of foods.

 

3.    La Badiane – 10 Nam Ngu street, Hoan Kiem district tel: 04 3942 45 09. Email: labadianehanoi@yahoo.fr

Place for French residents meetings at the weekend or invite their friends here, it should be good places for you to try with romantic space.

First time when I came here to try the foods I think in 2009, one French family I know and be their friends when they come to my office to ask me help them arrange their visa… so they invited me the dinner after they got their visa back to say thank you. It was quite interesting when they introduced me some meals just a bit foods in a big plate display with vegetabe, tomatoes and butter or some kinds of ingredients. Well, at that time I just gave them a comment that it is so different from Vietnamese Foods. They asked what is difference? “Yeah, that is amount of foods, Like this food only nice to your eyes but bad to your stomach” they were laughing at me and said you are so traditional Vietnamese Girl. :)

4.    La Vertical Restaurant – 19 Ngo Van So tel: 04. 3944 6317

The Verticale’s dishes are the result of a surprising French and Vietnamese fusion that goes across the conventional boundaries. Indeed, the subte association of ingredients of high quality with various spices explains why the meals at Verticale are so stunning – All words from the restaurant, I think you can come and try the foods and write your own ideas.

5.    La Salsa Restaurant – 25 Nha Tho street, Hoan Kiem district, (directly in front of St.Joseph’s Cathedral

Foods and services are goods can be rated 2 – 3 star services. I ate here 3 times with 2 times foods are good but one is not very good so make me feel a bit confusing about my taste :)

Hope above details can help you find good places to taste and make your trip become more memoriable.

Located in the middle of the Red River Delta, the town has gradually expanded to become a very populous and rich residential center. At different periods, Ha Noi had been selected as the capital city of Viet Nam under the Northern domination.

Ha Noi later became the core of the resistance movements against the Northern invasions.

In the autumn of Canh Tuat lunar years (1010), Ly Thai To, the founder of the Ly Dynasty (1010 – 1225), decided to transfer the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La, and so he re-capitalized it Thang Long (Soaring Dragon). The year 1010 then became a historical date for Ha Noi and for the whole country in general. For about a thousand years, the capital was called Thang Long, then changing to Dong Do, Dong Kinh, and Finally to Ha Noi, in 1831.
