We had very good cocktails on the only outside table, which was open to Ma May St. We took the habit to come there between 5.00 to 6.00 pm everyday...Prices are a little high end but they serve the best cocktails we had in Hanoi, so it was worth it

Great service and setting; this restaurant is a renovated ancient house in the backpacker district of Hanoi. Very disappointed with quality of food however. Starter of fresh spring rolls was good but the main courses of chicken curry and tofu with mixed vegetables were bland and unpalatable. Cocktails were excellent. Will NOT be returning for a second meal however.

I ordered dishes that actually sounded interesting (pumpkin soup with shrimp, duck with salted egg, shrimp with fermented something), but they all were boring, nearly tasteless. But the best part is the service, worth a good laugh: after being handed the drinks menu, I... More

this cafe was really good the food was very tasty and for a very reasonnable price, the waitresses very friendly and the place in nice and fairly quiet for somewhere in the old town. Simply called cafe 69, as it is the number 69 of the street.

Although more expensive than some of the restaurants on Ma May street, the food is great and its a nice place to get away from the noise of the street. The staff go out of their way to assist and will also show you how to eat some of the more traditional meals. Have eaten here on a number of... More
