We had just returned to Hanoi from a long bus ride that started off in Halong Bay, and we were to take an overnight train to Sapa that very night. After a few days of crappy food on the boat in Halong Bay, we decided we wanted to have something good before we boarded our train.
A blend of East and West interiors
Seasons of Hanoi is a fine dining restaurant serving Vietnamese cuisine. Its interiors in creamy earth tones are of a tasteful blend of traditional Vietnamese (almost veering towards Chinese if you ask me if you look at the chairs) and Western influences.
Lime juice to awaken a tired traveller's mind and palate
Nothing like a glass of freshly squeezed lime juice for a pick-me-up!
Anything with a nice smoky flavour is good!
The grilled chicken had a nice smoky flavour and the meat was very tender too. This dish was a winner.
A mixture of lime and spice and all things nice!
These cubes of tofu stir-fried in a lime and chilli sauce were tasty with its nice mix of spiciness and zestiness. Yes, we were trying to be healthy in ordering it!
OK, I'll be a good girl and eat my greens
The sweet potato leaves stir-fried in minced garlic was a no-frills, hearty dish that satisfied our need for some greens.
Grilled shrimp paste wrapped round sugar cane
So many ways to use a coconut!
Seasons of Hanoi’s food was tasty and the service was very good and prompt, and I’d recommend this place if you are not inclined to sitting by the road side on small stools to sample Vietnamese food. This meal came up to about USD22 in total, an amount which is very affordable for most tourists.
