This upscale restaurant has a French chef, which you can tell by the quality of the food. It is a bit more expensive than what you might expect in Hanoi, but it is easily worth it. The place is cozy, especially the courtyard with a bar and a few tables. If it's not too hot, opt to sit here. The... More

After reading though the recommendation on trip advior about Hanoi restaurants: I and my husband decided to try La Badiane. We was not disappointed: The restaurant is small but comfortable and the dishes very well presented and tasty. Service was perfect. They brought towels to clean hands after serving food. The pre dinner cocktails and the wines are all great.... More

The location is right in the city center, very near Ngon Restaurant, so I think it's so lucky when you have both choices for Vietnamese food and Western food at the same place. The price is quite expensive, but it's worth so if you can afford it, don't go anywhere else. The staff's attitude was so great. They have a... More

I'm being modest saying this is the best French food venue in town. You can't imagine having all those great food, well decorated, with a touch of love from the chef in this small, elegant restaurant. Yes, I said it, this is the bestest! Highly recommended for those who have love for food. Tony the manager will make sure everything... More

We live in Hanoi and I went there with my wife for the third time in 2 years. It keeps getting better. Great selection of mainly Western / French food - top notch presentation and sauces were great. For $61 you get the 6 course special but mains from the menu are between $10-$15 - expensive for Viet Nam but... More

The chef in La Badiane used to be chef in the Green Mango in old town which became the place to go to becuase of his creations. These he has moved to La Badiane. The restuarant is small but comfortable and the dishes very well presented and tasty. Some would say it is expensive (for Vietnam) but quality will out... More

Great little place for a Western/French brunch. Lunch menu is reasonably priced at US$15 per head for 3 courses. Outdoor seating - not much of a view, but comfortable al fresco dining. The food was average - nothing to write home about, but decent. Nice combination of atmosphere and decent food. More
