The food was great as what one would expect given that it is french cuisine. We really enjoyed the food served, however I feel that it is slightly overpriced (in my own opinion). Overall, we enjoyed it. Worth a try if you are unable to get such food in your own country. :)

one of those rare (yes, pun) moments when everything mixes perfectly... appetizer, steak tartare, wine, friends. Extraordinary.

For a little escape from the bustle of Hanoi, La Badiane is a gorgeous retreat with great food. A sophisticated menu with beautiful presentation, every dish is a delight. Don't believe the pricing on trip advisor though. A main meal will set you back $23, the three course meal is $43 and the degustation will be $66. For a special... More

We had the 3 course dinner menu which started with a fantastic entree - my wife thought the carpaccio was the best she ever had.

We thoroughly enjoyed the food at La Badiane. The food was delicious but the staff spoke little English. I had the 6 course degustation menu which was US$66.

(2) entree of smoked salmon, eggplant crumble in... More

Serious but unpretentious service. A sophisticated and inviting setting. Big hit of the evening was the beet and pesto filled nem that accompanied the... More

Our last night in Hanoi and we wanted to do something special! Having read reviews on TA we chose La Badiane. We booked a table in the outside courtyard and the ambience was fantastic. The food was truly amazing and the Chef came out several times to check that everything was in order. The froie gras was perfectly cooked for... More

Good place set in the courtyard of an old villa. Great value set lunch. Good food, good atmosphere. Good service.

If you are in the mood for finer dining in Hanoi, than La Badiane is an excellent choice. Offering a true and traditional French dining experience, the restaurant is located in an old multi-story house on the outskirts of the Old Quarter. We were in a room upstairs that had only two other tables (though in the future I will... More
