Top 5 Romantic Coffee Shops in Hanoi Old Quarter

If you spend a few days in Hanoi during your trips to Vietnam and want to admire the city from above in a quiet and serene atmosphere, we would love to recommend some famous cafes where you can relax after a long day exploring the capital. This would make your Vietnam tours a thousand times better.

 

Summit Lounge—Pan Pacific Hotel

Summit Lounge is located on the roof of the Pan Pacific Hotel, just a block from Thanh Nien. It is known to have the best view of Hanoi. It has a terrace but also an interior area surrounded by glass walls to enjoy the view. The panorama of the city (West Lake, Lake Truc Bach, Red River and Thanh Nien Street) is absolutely fabulous.

 

Bao Oanh—Thanh Nien Street

Located at No. 1 on Tran Vu Street (which surrounds West Lake), it is more affordable than the Summit Lounge. This café is spread over five floors of an open and spacious space. The specialty of the house, the coconut cream, won hearts. You can taste different exotic flavors of ice cream served in a coconut.

 

ZODI Cafe—Trieu Viet Vuong Street

Located in "coffee street" in Hanoi, ZODI is a destination for many couples thanks to the luxurious romantic atmosphere that emerges from the 10th and 11th floors of the building. It is divided into three areas: the main area with its sofas and glass tables, the Japanese-style space and the romantic space with many trees and a swing on the 11th floor.

 

Avalon Cafe—Cau Go Street And Dinh Tien Hoang

Avalon Cafe enjoys a special location on Hoan Kiem Lake. You can admire the old Turtle Tower, The Red Bridge and the Ngoc Son Temple while observing the lively old quarter. The first floor, a semi-lounge, is in a semi-natural style. The middle floor, Avalon Lounge is cozy, stylish, young and fancifully decorated. The upper floor, called Sky Garden, looks like a romantic European-style garden.

 

City View—Dinh Tien Hoang Street

Adjacent to the Avalon Cafe and located on the top floor of the "Shark Jaw" building (No 7 Dinh Tien Hoang), City View overlooks Hoan Kiem Lake.
