Tucked
away
in
a
tiny
corner
of
paradise
across
from
beautiful
West
Lake
in
Hanoi,
Vietnam,
lies
a
delightful
and
unexpected
culinary
gem.
Who
would
think
that
a
chef,
known
for
his
work
at
Michelin-starred
restaurants
of
major
hotel
chains,
would
open
such
a
charming
and
friendly
restaurant
right
in
the
heart
of
the
country?
And
at
such
affordable,
non-Michelin
prices!
From
the
moment
you
step
inside
the
brick-clad
first
floor,
you
feel
welcomed
and
at
ease.
This
is
not
one
of
the
Michelin-starred
restaurants
where
the
chef
has
cooked
-
here
he
wants
everyone
to
be
able
to
enjoy
his
food
in
a
relaxed,
unpretentious
setting.
Make
your
way
upstairs
to
the
classy
yet
casual
dining
area
and
prepare
your
tastebuds
for
an
incredible
meal
at
a
fraction
of
the
price
of
his
more
upscale
kitchens.
The
food
here
is
simply
delicious.
The
chef
has
crafted
a
menu
full
of
flavors
that
sing
in
your
mouth.
I
was
craving
a
good
steak
during
my
three
month
travels
in
Asia,
so
I
ordered
the
fillet
steak.
It
was
cooked
to
absolute
perfection
and
easily
one
of
the
best
steaks
I've
enjoyed
anywhere
in
the
world.
The
steak
came
with
a
mouthwatering
sauce,
but
the
meat
was
so
tender
and
flavorful
on
its
own
that
it
almost
seemed
a
shame
to
use
it.
The
owner
recommended
dipping
the
potato
wedges
into
the
sauce
instead
-
an
ingenious
idea
that
allowed
the
stellar
steak
to
stand
on
its
own.
In
addition
to
the
flawless
fillet,
sides
like
the
baked
garlic
and
the
potato
wedges
were
just
as
much
of
a
delight.
And
the
wine
pairings
only
elevated
each
bite.
Every
component
came
together
to
create
a
dining
experience
I'll
remember
forever.
From
start
to
finish,
this
charming
eatery
exceeded
my
expectations.
The
friendly
service,
relaxed
atmosphere,
and
incredible
execution
left
me
in
awe
that
such
a
fantastic
restaurant
with
Michelin-caliber
food
could
be
found
in
this
unexpected
Vietnamese
location.
I
cannot
recommend
this
delightful
paradise
highly
enough
for
any
discerning
diner
visiting
the
area.
It's
an
absolute
must-try!
