Firmly established in Hanoi, the cosy, auberge-style Cafe Des Arts is warmly embraced by those pining for excellent French home cooking. Wines, cheeses, sausages and pates are imported directly from France, whilst fresh pasta is made on-site.

Traditional dishes such as fried sweet-breads of veal (VND 138,000), feature throughout the a la carte and set menus ($7, 10, and 18), and the everchanging Plat du Jour (VND 100,000). But modern influences, such as "Le Grill" pervade and new Franco-Arab dishes, like cous-cous, (amongst old favourites such as cassoulet) feature on the Plat du Weekend (VND 120,000). The name's apt, with exhibitions of traditional Vietnamese art and informal music performances.

Specially:
1 menu for the children at 5 usd, always menu at 10 usd and a gastronomi- menu at 20 usd where you can eat what you want "a la carte", foie gras, salmon carpaccio, tournedos "Rossini", T-Bones, Lamb
Racks, etc...
The carte is more and more for the "gourmets" of the French and Gastronomic cuisine.
The chief is French who has a competent team. Waiters can speak English, French and Vietnamese (of course). Menu and other information are also available in 3 languages.

Don't forget to visit STOP-Cafe at the first floor. Large menu by a Vietnamese Chief and western food for modest budget, particularly great for modest tourists who want to enjoy great cuisine art in a cool atmosphere!
