Food in Hanoi is fantastic! Throw a stone in any direction and you will hit 3 nice food joints. Clasico is one of them. This place is mid-range. In the day time it looks like a regular joint, where you have a choice to dine indoors or al-fresco. In the evening the place turns into a romantic hideaway, candlelights and all.
Parkson is also a great place to go to for dining. The foodcourt is at the 7th floor. We went to this Thai restaurant and we had a very nice bowl of flaming-hot tom yum noodles!
There are also nice joints around the Hoan Kiem lake. There is a KFC (called Ga Ran Kentucky, "Ga" being chicken). They also have this Sago Restaurant, a very popular place for backpackers. All of Hanoi is laso riddled with Highlands Coffee a very popular food joint that serves a wide range of foodstuff, from coffee and cakes to pasta and rice meals for decent lunch or dinner. The best I had from Highlands Coffee is Saigon Style Beef Cubes with rice mixed with tomato sauce. Woohooo!
Other restaurants to check out:
1. Jaspas - in 4th floor of Somerset GH
2. Papa Joe's - Ground floor of Hanoi Towers Shopping Center
3. Pho 24 - at the 5th floor of Vincom Towers Shopping Mall
4. Khazanna - Near BIDV Tower
Nisa Restaurant, Khazanna and Tandoor serve halal, so bring your Muslim friends there.
To find the best, most authentic Pho (Vietnamese noodles) in a restaurant setting (of course what can be more authentic than the one you buy from street hawkers?), go to Pho 24. There is one at the 5th level of Vincom Tower Shopping Mall.
And for the best spring rolls, go to this place (below) also at Vincom:
