Lovely garden setting, excellent and attentive service, ingredients were noticeably fresh. The food was good but not quite the “wow” I expected from a Michelin Green Star spot. Still a relaxing, worthwhile experience overall.
This is the worst Michelin-starred meal I’ve ever had. It cost $120 per person, but I honestly couldn't understand or appreciate the flavors. It might be better suited for local tastes. Additionally, the taxes here were higher than at other restaurants
We were two people and spent around 190 USD for the vegetarian menu (12 courses) and wine pairing (4 glasses). The interior was very well decorated and well structured, which we enjoyed, however, we did not enjoy the courses and wine as much as it felt very rushed and not worth the price we had paid. There was barely time for a breather in between and the courses themselves. The wine pairing itself is also quite expensive and it felt like the waiters were quite stingy (?) with pouring the wine, without explaining how the wine would pair with the dishes.
Such a wonderful experience, food is refined, tasty and flavourful. Chef and staff are generous and attentive. Loved the atmosphere, attention to details with each dish as well as the delicious wine pairings and extra apricot wine at the end. We will return and recommend to our friends.
I made a booking for Christmas dinner as I was originally expected to arrive in Hanoi that evening, but due to a change in my transit flight, I had to modify the reservation to 2 Jan 2026. I contacted the restaurant via WhatsApp, and the change was handled completely hassle-free. They were also kind enough to keep my deposit, which I really appreciated. Although I couldn’t properly see the farm in the evening, the restaurant had a very romantic vibe at night. I was seated at the bar, where I could watch the food being prepared right in front of me. The atmosphere felt very intimate, yet it wasn’t noisy at all even though the restaurant was full. The head chef, who is also the founder, personally tasted and checked every dish before it was served. The entire menu was perfectly balanced — none of the dishes overpowered the others. Each dish truly showcased the freshness of the ingredients rather than relying on heavy seasoning, which was exactly what I was looking for. I had the best sweet potato I’ve ever eaten in my life here. Every dish felt inspiring, prepared in ways I would never have imagined could be so simple yet so flavorful. I also noticed that many dishes were cooked over charcoal, which added a beautiful depth to the flavors. The squid noodles were such a creative and memorable idea. I will definitely visit again when I have the chance in the future.
