Every Sunday there is a brunch from 12:00 until 16:00. We went for the champagne option which included unlimited Billecart Salmon champagne (champagne available up to 15:00). We were a little doubtful having had buffets in other hotels in South East Asia and invariable being a little disappointed. Our doubts were unfounded since this is pure decadence. There was a...

Rib eye steak is my favorite steak so I've had a lot of rib eyes in my life however the rib eye steak and bearnaise sauce is the best I've had EVER. I was so fortunate to be staying at the Sofitel Metropole hotel on a business trip to Hanoi and decided to try the steak at the Le Beaulieu... More

Was staying at the Sofitel Metropole in Hanoi and had read so much about Le Beaulieu so hubby and I wanted to try it for its French cuisine touted by the hotel as the best in Hanoi. Maybe it is the best in Hanoi for traditional French food, but it is not good enough for us and certainly not worth... More

I had concerns going in based on previous experiences eating western food in developing countries but hoped things would be different here. I would have been more forgiving had it not been for the stratospheric prices. They are more expensive than the best restaurants in San Francisco. First the foie gras itself was good but it was paired with a... More

Dining here is a world class experience in March 2012. The French cuisine was superb. Service was efficent but charming and nothing was too much trouble. All the touches were designed to make us feel at home and want for nothing. The wine list was comprehensive and there was something for all tastes and wallets. Oddly enough, we found the... More

Price may be a little high but well worth it. Food is excellent with a wide selection - even a vegetarian menu. Excellent wines. More

Great food with even greater prices. Even with an Accor discount card that lets 2 eat for the price of one the bill was U$350+ which included a $60 bottle of wine so save it for special events unless you get a bankers bonus ;o) More

we have been twice so far, both times for our birthdays and both times have eaten from the A la carte menu. Both times it was outstanding, the service is superb, like in a michelin started restaurant in France, the food is really delicious and the atmosphere is a real haven of peace in a hectic Hanoi. It sems expensive... More

We ate here a couple of times for breakfast. The spread was excellent - both Vietnamese dishes and typical international fare plus pancakes and eggs cooked to order. I particularly liked the creme caramel. More

The staffs mostly very nice. Every course came out with perfect portion. The fat goose liver taste like heaven, it melt in your... More
