What travelers say:
The seat position was not good and I could hardly see the river view, so I focused all my attention on eating. The portion size seemed smaller than other restaurants I've eaten at, but the taste was still very good, and the price-performance ratio was not high.

A relatively refined Vietnamese restaurant. The rice and noodle sets are quite good, and put together in a very Vietnamese style. The price per person is 150, which is acceptable.
This is probably the best restaurant on our trip to Hanoi. On the way here, we saw a singer performing. My friend and I watched for a while and realized that we were separated from the main group. Then we searched for a long time before we found the restaurant and went upstairs. The restaurant is on the top floor of Elegance Hotel. I have to say that the environment is really great, overlooking the surrounding night view. When ordering, the waiter will ask you patiently. We ordered two sets of meals. The chicken shreds in the chicken soup noodles were a bit dry, but they were torn very finely and matched with the soup, so the dry taste could basically be ignored. I didn’t like the beef rice noodles very much, but the rice noodle vegetable soup tasted great, and it seemed that black stones were put in it to maintain the temperature. I recommend that you must try the fried spring rolls when you go there. They are crispy and delicious. How can you experience the taste when paired with the restaurant’s secret sauce, haha
The favorite restaurant of the Vietnam trip. The average price per person is less than 150, including service charge. People who are used to a bowl of rice noodles for more than 40 yuan were a little flattered. A Vietnamese restaurant in a star-rated hotel. The environment is a typical high-end Western restaurant. The service is thoughtful and considerate, and ice towels are served as soon as you sit down, which makes people feel very comfortable in the hot weather. The napkin hoop is made of metal and the shape is full of artistic atmosphere, including black flowers and deer antlers. The table is made of natural wood, retaining the original holes and bumps of the tree. Through the transparent glass window, you can see the scenery of Hoan Kiem Lake. The restaurant is very popular with foreign tourists, and several tables nearby are all foreign guests. There are three different price ranges for the dinner set meal, and there are also à la carte dishes. I love fried spring rolls, which are crispy and fragrant. Although they are fried, they are not greasy at all. The pork filling is fresh and sweet, and it is more delicious when dipped in sweet and sour sauce. The raw potatoes are also crispy and sweet. The raw beef rice noodles have a rich soup base, and the beef is cooked in boiling hot soup, which makes it particularly tender. The sweet and sour sauce roasted pork rice noodles are amazing. It's the first time I've eaten rice noodles cooked in this way. The pork has a light smoky flavor after roasting, and a hint of burnt fragrance. Dip the rice noodles in the sweet and sour sauce and wait for a few seconds, and the rice noodles will fully absorb the sweet and sour taste. A bite of rice noodles and a bite of roasted pork are sour and refreshing, and the aftertaste has a light spicy and sweet taste. It's simply delicious. The ice cream and yogurt fruit desserts after the meal are also up to standard. The drinks in the set meal include mineral water and beer, and you can also exchange for other drinks at an additional price.
A restaurant on the top floor of a hotel called La Siesta, with French style and service, beautiful scenery, elegant environment, and sweet waiters. Knowing that we are Chinese, they said "hello" to us. After going upstairs, they specially arranged a table for six for us. The restaurant is very exquisite, and you can see from the rings that tie the napkins that it is specially made. The six of us ordered two sets of three sets, two for sharing, a rice noodle set and a rice set. The rice noodle set first has raw beef noodle and chicken noodle. I chose raw beef noodle. The beef was pink when it came up, followed by side dishes and bean sprouts, herbs, and green onions. Then the waiter brought a pot of hot soup and poured it on the rice noodles. The beef was cooked immediately, the soup was delicious, the rice noodles were tender, and the beef was also tender. In short, it was a perfect score. Then there was the sour and spicy roast pork rice noodles. The rice noodles were thin, the pork was roasted fragrantly, and the pork meatballs were very Q. The taste was spicy, sour, and sweet, very appetizing, but I felt very full after eating it. The dessert was a fruit yogurt salad, which was refreshing. The rice set meal, the first thing served was fried rice paper rolled pork, everyone praised it! The outside was crispy, and the pork inside was very fragrant. Then came the stone pot beef with rice, which was just so-so, the beef was overcooked, and the dessert was mango ice cream, the French presentation was beautiful, and the taste was also great! In short, this restaurant is well received, I recommend everyone to come~
Located on the 12th floor of La Siesta Hotel, the scenic Vietnamese restaurant has a high-end Western dining environment. The waiters will actively pay attention to the dining experience of each dish. The average price per person is 150 RMB, which is considered a relatively high-priced restaurant in the local area. I chose the "rice noodle" set meal and the "rice" set meal. The pork spring rolls are the best of the whole meal. The rice skin is fried to crispy and the filling is full. It must be eaten while hot. The roasted pork rice noodles have a sour taste, which is especially suitable for the weather in Vietnam. Beef/chicken rice noodles, half-cooked beef noodles are poured with broth and boiled, and then various side dishes are added according to your taste. The Australian beef with rice is relatively ordinary. Although it has been secreted for 4 hours, it is a bit like the boiled beef in China, and there is no special taste. Mango ice cream is greasy, fruit yogurt, and the yogurt is not mellow enough.
The Gourmet Corner Restaurant is a restaurant that specializes in gourmet food. It is a very high-end restaurant with western-style service, and it makes the traditional rice noodles look so gorgeous and delicious. Located on the 12th floor of La Siesta Hotel, you can enjoy the beautiful view of Hoan Kiem Lake.
