By far my favorite spot in Hanoi for people watching, especially on the weekends when neighboring streets are closed for traffic. After 7 years in Vietnam this is definitely my favorite spot on the weekends. It doesn't hurt that the food menu is spectacular and that the service is amazing. If you have a few hours to waste getting the vibe of Hanoi and watching it's people can't beat this spot. Highly recommended.

Can back here after so many years and food and service are still as I remembered them. The waiters were very attentive. If you want some good European food with Asian hospitality this is your place!
Had a nice afternoon cocktail here, beautiful place and lovely neighborhood. The staff and service were good too, and overall vibe was nice and luxurious. I’d recommend this to try a different side of Hanoi!
Beautiful location with very comfortable outdoor seating. We had a light lunch & drinks for just short of 3 million VND. The food was very good and beautifully presented. Staff was friendly but service was extremely slow. We waited for 20 minutes from the time we asked for our bill and finished paying.
The oldest and prettiest corner for coffee in Hanoi. Love the atmosphere today. So many moons ago since the last time i was here.
