Madame Hien Restaurant on Postcard

"High-End Vietnamese in Tranquil Location Inspired by the cooking of his wife's grandmother, Madame Hien is chef Didier Corlou's attempt at upscale but unfussy Vietnamese cuisine. Set in the former Spanish embassy, it is a beautiful spot for both lunch and dinner, with the outside courtyard in particular providing refuge from Hanoi 's busy streets. Dishes, meanwhile, run the gamut from traditional classics to Corlou's "New Hanoi" creations, adding exotic twists to familiar French and Vietnamese staples."

Beautiful ambience and warming decor. Late in the evening dinner. Service was extremely slow, almost like they had forgotten. Chilled beer and decent food with good portions too when it arrived. I have heard they can do better. Inviting and friendly owner who took a few minutes to have a chat and share the history of the establishment. More a day restaurant for me personally! Reasonable option in the old quarter.

We came here for my parents anniversary dinner — it’s a beautiful and quaint restaurant with a lovely history and an interesting menu if you’re tired of banh mi and pho. Everything we tried was just lovely and the ambience makes it very special. Special shout out to the beautiful terracotta pottery in which all the dishes are served!

Exquisite food, service, decor and soundscape. We came in drenched by monsoon and sat in the beautiful outside area. All the food was absolutely gorgeous. I especially recommend the chocolate cake with cinnamon ice-cream. They will grate fresh cinnamon from an enormous cinnamon stick on top. It's a dinner and a show. They have an English menu and the staff speaks English well. This place should have a Michelin star ⭐

Such a lovely experience! I was so happy to find a set menu, completely vegetarian - I didn’t think it would be possible to find vegetarian pho, but it was possible. So much food and all delicious!

This is a really good restaurant if you’re looking to eat Vietnamese food. The servers are very helpful and they gave us free prawn crackers for my toddler which was very thoughtful of them. I will visit this restaurant again

Lovely restaurant in French quarter not far from our hotel on lake area (we staying at Apricot Hotel) so just a short walk Food was really good and not expensive - they were very honest telling us that we ordered too much so we revised our order lucky as huge serves - very generous as you can see from the photos There were two types of lemon grass beef - but named the same - both were very good not sure how we ordered different meals but one was noddle based one was not All the food was excellent and staff very friendly We sat in air cond area - wasn’t really cool but fine for dinner Plenty of wine to choose from including a French rose which I could buy by the glass which was very nice and not too expensive Recommend a visit as staff friendly and good good - fresh and really large serves so definitely worth a visit

Did two different set menus. Both balanced, delicious, fun, and exotic (to us, neither of which knows Vietnamese food well). Service was top notch. The “All around the banana” dessert was a highlight. And the Prosecco by the glass was dry and balanced. Yay for good bubbly!
