19 Ngo Van So Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi

La Verticale Hanoi is an elegant fine-dining restaurant, housed in a French colonial-style villa. Established by Chef Didier Courlou, French chef formerly at Metropole Legend Hanoi. La Verticale Hanoi also has a spacious roof terrace with comfortable armchairs and excellent views across downtown Hanoi, French Quarter, and Hoan Kiem Lake.

La Verticale’s menu is Corlou’s take on the best fusion combinations of his native French cuisine, and that of Vietnam, his adopted home.

La Verticale Hanoi’s ground floor hosts a stylish spice shop that resembles an apothecary, where you can find an array of bottled spices such as peppercorns, wild pepper, cinnamon, star anise, turmeric, and aged nuoc cham sauce. While the price range here is much higher compared to most restaurants in Hanoi, La Verticale’s excellent food-and-beverage offerings, romantic ambience.
