Best Tasting Menus in Hanoi

84 P. Trần Nhân Tông

Located on Trần Nhân Tông street in Hanoi's Hai Bà Trưng district, 84 P. Trần Nhân Tông sits within a neighbourhood where French-era architecture and Vietnamese street-level commerce coexist. For the full picture of dining in this part of the city, explore our Hanoi restaurant guide.

Azabu

Azabu brings considered Japanese cooking to Hanoi's Hai Bà Trưng district, holding a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025. Priced at the mid-upper tier of the city's Japanese dining scene, it occupies a niche between casual izakayas and the starred teppanyaki formats that anchor Hanoi's formal Japanese offer. For visitors tracking Michelin-recognised Japanese restaurants in Vietnam, Azabu is a practical and credible reference point.

Chapter Dining

Chapter occupies a converted shophouse on Chân Cầm Street in Hoàn Kiếm, where a rusted steel façade gives way to a monochrome interior hung with contemporary art. Chef Quang Dung frames Vietnamese culinary tradition through a Nordic-inflected lens, with charcoal grilling as the kitchen's central technique. Consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 places it among Hanoi's most closely watched contemporary dining rooms.

Cồ Đàm

A 2025 Michelin Plate recipient on Trần Hưng Đạo, Cồ Đàm takes its name from the Buddha and shapes its entire identity around Buddhist and Champa architectural tradition, terracotta brickwork, a ground-floor lotus pond, four floors of dining space. The vegetarian tasting menu reframes Vietnamese classics with modern technique and careful flavour layering, placing it in a narrow tier of serious plant-based dining in Hanoi.

Gia

1 Michelin star

Gia holds a Michelin star for two consecutive years and a 2025 La Liste placement, operating from a 12-course seasonal format on Văn Miếu Street in Hanoi's Old Quarter fringe. Chef Sam Tran's kitchen works through Vietnamese heritage ingredients with precise acidity and textured plating, visible from the open counter. The wine program earned a Star Wine List White Star recognition in 2024.

Hemispheres Steak & Seafood Grill

Among Hanoi's Western steakhouse options, Hemispheres Steak & Seafood Grill holds two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024 and 2025), placing it in a narrow tier of mid-to-upper-range meat-focused dining on Xuan Dieu Road in the Tay Ho lakeside district. The ₫₫₫ price point positions it below the city's starred tasting-menu counters while demanding more than the neighbourhood pho circuit.

Izakaya by Koki

Deep wine list

A Michelin Plate-recognised izakaya on Lê Phụng Hiểu in Hanoi's French Quarter, Izakaya by Koki sits at the more accessible end of the Koki group's Hanoi portfolio, sitting a price tier below its sibling Hibana by Koki. The format follows the izakaya tradition of shared plates and drinking-house informality, brought into a city where Japanese dining has grown considerably in range and seriousness over the past decade.

Koki

Inside Capella Hanoi's French Quarter address, Koki brings Japanese precision to one of Southeast Asia's most historically layered cities. Head Chef Hiroshi Yamaguchi works a program anchored in kansha (respect for ingredients) and omotenashi (Japanese hospitality), with Yaeyama Kyori beef from Okinawa's Ishigaki Island and a seasonal omakase format that positions Koki in Hanoi's premium dining tier alongside Michelin-recognised neighbours.

La Badiane

A two-time Michelin Plate recipient (2024 and 2025), La Badiane occupies a quieter register in Hanoi's Hoàn Kiếm dining scene, pairing French-Vietnamese fusion cooking with a drinks program that sets it apart from the neighbourhood's more direct Vietnamese tables.

Lamai Garden

Lamai Garden sits in Hanoi's Tây Hồ district with a 2025 Michelin Plate, positioning it inside the city's growing Vietnamese Contemporary tier.

Le Beaulieu

Deep wine list

Le Beaulieu holds consecutive Michelin Plates for 2024 and 2025, operating from within the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, a building that has shaped the city's relationship with French cuisine since the colonial era. The kitchen positions French technique against Vietnamese seasonal availability, drawing both resident diplomats and international visitors to the Hoàn Kiếm dining table.

Madame Hien - Vietnamese Restaurant Hanoi

Set on Hàng Bè in Hanoi's Old Quarter, Madame Hien draws on the depth of Vietnamese culinary tradition in a neighbourhood where French-colonial architecture meets the organised chaos of the Old Quarter's trading streets. The room and the service work as a coordinated whole, making it a useful reference point for visitors trying to orient themselves within Hanoi's mid-to-upper tier of Vietnamese dining.

MÀU

MÀU occupies a corner shophouse on Van Mieu Street, near Hanoi's Temple of Literature. The kitchen sends out modern cooking with subtle Vietnamese markers, available à la carte or as a chef's menu. Counter seats face the bar and offer especially direct view among the prep line. The wine list draws on global bottles, and the service runs at a relaxed pace.

ONVIT

1 Michelin star

ONVIT brings a Korean tasting-menu lens to Hanoi, using Vietnamese produce as the bridge rather than the backdrop. The room is elegant and quiet, the cooking is anchored by Chef Joon’s Korean heritage, and the signature abalone porridge with ST25 rice gives the experience its clearest cultural argument.

T.U.N.G dining

T.U.N.G dining holds consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) and sits at the summit of Hanoi's innovative dining tier, where chef Hoang Tung applies a contemporary framework to Vietnamese ingredients. Located in the Hoàn Kiếm district, the restaurant draws comparisons with progressive Vietnamese tables in Ho Chi Minh City and across Southeast Asia, making it a reference point for the capital's modern food scene.

Vien Dining

Situated in the Hai Bà Trưng district at the mid-range price tier, it operates in a city where Michelin recognition arrived only recently, making early entrants into the guide's pages worth tracking closely.
