Hanoi Pretty Restos

A few months ago when my husband and I went to Hanoi on holiday, we found 3 restaurants that we think are worth visiting again the next time around, not only for the food, but also for the ambience.

The first one was a Burmese-Vietnamese restaurant.  The restaurant was ethnically decorated but we were skeptical as to how the food will taste.  However, to our surprise, the food was delicious, light tasting and very fresh.  We ordered 2 kinds of appetizers, 2 main courses and a dessert, and all turned out lovely!


Near Hanoi Opera House, we went to Club Opera.  This place serves Vietnamese food and though prices are a bit on the high-end for Vietnam.  The restaurant is beautiful and we were entertained by a lady playing the traditional Vietnamese musical instrument similar to a guitar.

On our last night, we were in the vicinity of St. Joseph's cathedral, which is the happening spot for bars, cafes and restaurants.  We went to Mediterraneo, which serves Italian food without a hint of Vietnamese influence.  The owner is Italian, living for many years already in Hanoi.  We really enjoyed our dinner and the ambience.  Recommended J
