    Well decorated, good service and vast selection of good wines. I try 2 dishes, pork terrine and tuna tartare, the first was perfect but bit small. Second, so so, but very well presented. I paired Sancerre and Riesling, first was astonishing.

    When u see the wine list…. Is a big wow! What I would say is that the wine is perfect but need to focus more on the quality of the food! The server Ms Hoa was very good. She will take good care of ur need!

    Excellent service but unfortunately plagued by hidden charges on top of the already excessive pricing. Sauces (30k) and side (50k) for our tough beef flank are chargeable, while water starts at 60k for 750ml. Table water is not provided. Eye catching wine dispensers line the dining room but glasses aren’t cheap either, starting at 150k for 120ml

    Did not disappoint - this was a great find amidst the busy Old Quarter in Hanoi. Staff were very courteous and accommodating, they were also very responsive when I did the booking even with my multiple questions. They had numerous wine options and even had a glass tag for every wine. Choosing from the menu was made easy with flavour categories to choose from. Everything we ordered was impressive and they even treated us with two glasses of wine because I booked for my boyfriend’s birthday. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone trying to look for a fancier dining option or even just good French cuisine in Hanoi. Thank you for the great experience :)

    Cozy little French place in the Old quarter. Very extensive wine list with clear pairing instructions. The dishes were a bit salty for my Vietnamese taste bud but in general, they were warm, delicious and comforting. Helpful and polite staff.

    Great French food here. Nice quirt atmosphere that takes you away from the rush of Hanoi. We had the lunch special which was 3 courses, a drink and coffee for 395k. Which though high for Vietnam represents good value for the quality of meal.

    Had a very enjoyable lunch. Classic French. The duck confit was tender and soft, crispy and moist for the skin. Angus beef is medium done. Succulent n melts in mouth. Creme bulee (part of lunch set) is pretty good too. Highly recommended and will definitely return for more!

    Colette is an amazing French bistro located in Hanoi's old quarter. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience there, as the food was absolutely delicious and the service impeccable. Everything we ate was prepared with care and skill (get the lamb shank, you won't regret it).

    Wow! The food here is SO great! Was looking for a French style restaurant on our last night in Hanoi and so happy we chose Colette. We came for the escargot, and we ended u ordering 2, but everything was amazing. My steak was huge!

    Absolutely fantastic meal and experience. Stop reading reviews and book your reservations. Ambience was delightful and staff members were extremely friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the French Onion Soup, Colette Salad (Foie gras and duck), French Sausage with Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, Beef Flank Steak, and Lobster Caviar Risotto. Our dishes were fresh, well seasoned, and well proportioned. I particularly enjoyed the salad.

    We have been traveling around Asia for about 3 months. Last night we just felt like some Western cuisine. Colettes nailed it. We shared the Beef Tartare. Excellent texture and flavour. ( perhaps a bit more toast to start, quickly supplied when asked for) My wife did the salmon tartare and I did the simple cheese hamburger. My pattie was cooked as requested medium rare. Often missed but makes for a far more delicious burger. We have another few days in Hanoi later and I think we will be back. A great wine selection. If you choose wisely some excellent value. Staff were friendly and efficient. The online booking service worked well.

    A very french experience at Colette. My order was preceded with very delicious, complimentary homemade bread, olives and homemade butter (2 kinds). Beef Bourgogne was outstanding, texture and flavours all there, and well complemented with the suggested (spicy) wine. Dessert had to be Crème Brûlée, definitely hot and fresh, also sensational. Cost will be 1m+ per person, excellent value considering this same meal anywhere in France or Australia would double or triple.

    Great service and food. Probably the best meal we had in Hanoi. We ordered a lot of food and they didn’t disappoint. the fresh home made bread with flavoured butter was delicious. For starters we had French onion soup, followed by the French “arrogant” dish as they called it which is Escargots and deep fried frog legs with melted herb and garlic butter and moules mariniere which were all delicious. For mains we had, duck confit which had the crispiest skin with the melt in your mouth meat, a juicy piece of wagyu rib eye with mushroom duxelles, chips and blue cheese sauce. Not sure we needed the blue cheese sauce. last dish was truffle and mushroom risotto. We were too full to have any desserts which was a shame because there was a nice looking lemon tart on the menu.

    Lovely place!!! The restaurant is located in OQ. It has a nice atmosphere and beautiful decoration. Also, a large selection of wines at affordable prices. The food is simply DELICIOUS. I ordered the beef stew and literally just melted in my mouth. 🤤🤤🤤. I don’t give 5 starts because we have some issues with the services. But, I will definitely come back! Such a nice place 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

    Nice food, nice pairing of wine. There is also a second floor with shorter legged tables and chairs, first floor is all with long ones. Huge choices of wines from different places of the world and the best part is they have a machine (I forgot how it called) It keeps the wine fresh and protects wine from oxidation.

    Lovely place for french cuisine. The food was delicious, with decent selections and great presentation. We ordered the duck leg confit and marinera mussles. The duck meat was soft and tender with crispy skin. The sauce and mashed potato paired well. The mussels was fresh and soft, with decent serving size. The restaurant ambient was cosy, suitable for dinner. Staff were friendly and approachable. Do give this place a try.

    I had the pleasure of having lunch at this establishment on my final day in Hanoi before concluding my trip, and it was truly a memorable experience. The restaurant's decoration was stunning, creating an inviting and pleasant atmosphere. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and I found it convenient to communicate with them via email when making reservations. I was seated on the first floor, and I was immediately impressed by the menu, which featured a wide selection of signature dishes, along with options for wine pairings. Although it was a bit too early for me to indulge in a drink, I appreciated the variety available. The snail dish and the beef bouillon were particularly outstanding, showcasing authentic flavors that delighted my taste buds. I would like to give a special shoutout to my server, Linh, who did an exceptional job. She was incredibly caring, friendly, and attentive, and her recommendations enhanced my dining experience even further. One thing to note is that the lunch combo is only available from Tuesday to Friday. Therefore, if you visit during the weekend for lunch, it's important to be aware that you will need to order from the à la carte menu instead. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch at this establishment, and I'm already looking forward to returning in the near future. The remarkable ambiance, friendly staff, delectable dishes, and Linh's exceptional service all contributed to a truly memorable dining experience.

    Had trouble booking online from their website but it was also last minute decision to eat there. However, they managed to find us a table. Wonderful evening of good french food and wine. Atmosphere is set with great French music and decor. The staff were professional and knowledgeable and really couldn't fault our experience. Great find in Hanoi.

  • 4/5 Anita L. 2 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    We tried most of the signature dishes. We love the lobster risotto & fried fog legs with escargots. Duck leg confit. Paring with the Italian red wine is the hight light. Services is good and good vibes to spend a romantic night.

  • 5/5 Craig H. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Fantastic restaurant! 👌🏻👌🏻 A must visit in Hanoi! I could not fault the whole experience! Staff are amazing, professional hospitality staff through and through! The Tuna Tartare starter is not to be missed. Steak was ordered Medium and arrived slightly closer to medium rare which is perfect for me!

  • 5/5 Meg M. 3 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    One of the best French food we had. Beautiful presentation and good service. Walking distance from our hotel in the Old Quarter. The bread basket is delicious too.

  • 5/5 Juliana 4 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Great food n service! Beef Carpaccio is a must, best carpaccio we’ve ever had! Steak is perfectly cooked n fries in blue cheese sauce is divine! The place is small so make sure u reserve a table in advance!

  • 5/5 Jeff M. 4 months ago on Google
    This place was amazing. The waitress was so nice and attentive. The food was great. Tuna tartare as a starter was unique, in a good way. Duck confit was perfect.

  • 4/5 Sheena K. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely restaurant for a diner who enjoys good French food and excellent selection of wine.

  • 5/5 Claudia T. 3 months ago on Google New
    Good food, good service! We thoroughly enjoyed our onion soups, beef tartare (better than the beef carpaccio we think!), duck confit, raclette cheeseburger, crème brûlée. The lime cheesecake was a surprising standout. My only two comments for improvement are: 1. A better bun should be sourced for the cheeseburger. The current buns used are not fresh and buttery enough. 2. Offer still water options beyond Evian, as Evian is much too pricey.

    Lovely place for a wonderful dining experience. I am not easily impressed but Sophia of Colette is a gem - meticulous and marvellous. Merci.

  • 5/5 Kent Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered 5 main dishes and a bottle of red wine for a party of 4. The dishes were all good tasting. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Had a great time eating there!

  • 5/5 Gilyn D. 5 months ago on Google
    I would come to this place for just a burger! They have the juiciest burger. They cook it medium rare and they put a good cheese. Worth it!

  • 5/5 Joyner W. 11 months ago on Google
    Authentic french food at really reasonable prices. The beef in the beef bourguignon were tender and infused with all the flavours of the stew and the classic beef burger is a star dish with the juicy beef patty and crispy handcut fries. The duck confit is crispy on the skin and the meat so, so tender inside. Colette has a great wine collection as well that is sure to suit any palate, even the fussiest one.

  • 5/5 Ricky W. 4 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Chi Hong H. 1 year ago on Google
    Most excellent french food at reasonable prices. What we paid would pay for 2 persons in my country, paid for 4 here. The restaurant front was attractive and we were greeted warmly when we went in. The great food and good ambience cheered us up significantly. Lovely end to our day.

  • 5/5 TH W. 1 year ago on Google
    Short walk from Thang Long water puppet theatre. Food quality and presentation was good, friendly staff who can give suggestions on wine pairing. Desserts were fantastic. Definitely recommend if you are looking for good affordable French food in Hanoi.

  • 5/5 Michael L. 6 months ago on Google
    Epitome of ‘blink and you miss it’. And what a loss that would be! It’s a fantastic bistro tucked away in a corner but you’d be well advised to check it out for the good wine selection, fantastic food offerings and impeccable service.

  • 5/5 Maycia H. 6 months ago on Google
    Great food and wine. Prawns well grilled and fresh. Duck confit rightly cooked, meat tender and skin cripsy. Service and ambience were good.

  • 5/5 Ash L. 11 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing good, so delicious. Highly recommend the cheese fondue, Caesar salad and the scallop ceviche! Staff were also fantastic - great service!

  • 4/5 Annie F. 1 year ago on Google
    We got 3 dishes: lobster bisque, pan-seared foie gras, and the tuna tartar. Taste good but pricey for sure, especially for Hanoi. The restaurant is comfortable and they offer a lot of wine options. Servers lack a bit of professionalism as they seemed to make mistakes but that didn't bother us as they made up for their kindness and enthusiasm.

  • 5/5 Benny L. 9 months ago on Google
    Think this is one and only in hanoi. A fine dinning place. Service is good and can’t describe how good is the food. Definitely will come back if I m here again.
