Admired for its fresh ingredients, minimal
use of dairy and oil, complementary tex-
tures, and reliance on herbs and vegeta-
bles, Vietnamese food is one of the world’s
healthiest cuisines. Vietnamese coffee is
made using a metal drip filter, and served
with condensed milk.

Located on the first floor of the Essence Hanoi Hotel & Spa, a few minutes walk
from the Ga Long Biên train station in the Old Quarter, the popular Essence Cafe &
Restaurant presents authentic Vietnamese dishes in a cozy, contemporary art-filled
setting. Try the Cha Ca La Vong, a skillet of grilled freshwater fish seasoned with
dill, turmeric, fish sauce, shrimp paste, and chili peppers. Or opt for one of the set
menus to sample a variety of local specialties.
Experience contemporary Vietnamese cuisine in a former French colonial-style residence
in the Truc Bac neighborhood. The menu includes seafood selections, north Vietnamese
specialties, and fusion dishes made with free-range meats and mostly organic
ingredients. Guests can even sign up for a Vietnamese-cuisine cooking class, where they
will be taken on a tour of a traditional wet market and receive hands-on instruction from
the chef. One of Home’s specialties, Vietnamese roasted duck is softer and more savory
than the Chinese version, with tender, juicy meat and crispy, flavorsome skin.
