Artistic & Architectural Highlights
Entrance – A Tribute to Vietnamese Craftsmanship
Guests are greeted by handwoven bamboo screens crafted in Chương Mỹ village.
These elements establish the restaurant’s identity from the very first step—Vietnamese craftsmanship integrated into an elegant, contemporary context.
Interior & Signature Structures – The Lacquer Dome
A striking feature of the space is the wave-shaped lacquer dome above the bar and terrace.

The interior details maintain a consistent artistic tone—organic, sculptural, and deeply refined.

La Table Hanoia features one of the most distinctive bar designs in Hanoi:
The bar base is made from 2,241 recycled glass bottle bottoms, each cut and arranged by hand into a gradient color formation.
A 10-meter polished concrete wall, framed by wood panels with brass accents, evokes the look of small window frames.
Engraved brass bars feature quotes from iconic thinkers, adding layers of depth and sophistication.
The bar feels like a gallery—where sustainability, design, and craftsmanship meet.
