  • Restaurant Name: Bia Hoi

    Grab a glass of Bia Hoi (Beer) on the roadside and sit on the small short stool and enjoy this refreshing fresh beer for a mere 1,500 VND.

    You can order peanuts or cracker to go with your Bia Hoi.

    Even a non-beer drinker like me got hook on it.

    Cheers, bottom ups, yum seng .......

    chat with your friend or just see people walk by and hear the honking on the streets.

    thanks Garth for sharing a wonderful night with us over Bai Hoi.

    Nem is fried spring rolls with pork, shrimps, mushroom.

    The best Nem we have tasted was at Quan Nem where lan brought us to.

    If you are looking for good food in hanoi, just ask lan and she has lots of great recommendations.

    The Nem was shaped liked a square pillow. 4 of us had 8 of them with some noodles, leaves and gravy. The gravy was excellent.

  • Restaurant Name: Paris Deli

    At the recommendation of Lan, we head for Paris Deli (opposite Hanoi Opera House) for our lunch.

    This is a nice place for a good french food at an affordable price.

    We had Duck 89,000 VND, Beef Stroganoff 89,000 VND, lemon Juice 17, 000 VND and Pineapple Juice 22,000 VND. All this for US$14 or 217,000 VND.

    Food was excellent and it comes with bread and butter to start off with. They even gave us another helping of the bread but we were too full.

    Favorite Dish: Beef and Duck

    Hoa Sua is a training restaurant which started in 1995.

    We had our last meal in Hanoi at this French Restaurant. They do serve local Vietnamness food.

    We ordered Veal, Duck, Salad and mash potatoes.

    Food order was taken and served by their students.

    It reminds me of my SHATEC days where we undergo training in hotels and we also have F&B Outlet where students are the waiter and cooks.

    Favorite Dish: Veal

    After walking from Old quaters all the way to West Lake, we were so hungy.

    We had a seafood Pizza 55,000VND, Notre Dame Sandwich 49,000VND, vietnamese Drip coffee 10,000 VND and lemon juice 12,000 VND.

    It was indeed a satisfying meal. We had a table overlooking West Lake.

    On our way to visit Uncle Ho, we came across this V-Cafe that is underground with aircon.

    We were near Temple of Literature and was sourcing for lunch.

    By chance we went into this "western food" restaurant. We were glad that the menu was in English but we couldnt find the "right" thing to eat.

    So we decided to leave the place to look for Pho. As the waitress could not understand us, a gentlemen (maybe the boss) came to ask for our order.

    I was so happy that they do have Pho for 10,000VND even it is not on the menu.

    We see them brewing their own beer but didnt tried it.

    The Pho Bo (beef) and pork were excellent.

    Favorite Dish: Pho

     Had a wonderful half hour in St Joseph's Cathedral. There may have been information on the details, but much in view was self evident. Were those 12 stations of the cross depicted on pillars around the sanctuary? I will go back and check on it.

     Hi Jen. You have a great Hanoi page. I'm planning going there later this year. Thx for the tips.

     hi jen, a nice page about hanoi. want to be there someday. anyway, you should go to lombok whenever you're already in bali. only takes 40 minutes fly and not so expensive by merpati airlines :) that's one of my fave destination within my own country!
