La Table Hanoia – A New Artistic Culinary Space Opens in Hanoi
Nestled within Hanoi's historic French Quarter, La Table Hanoia is one of the capital's most intriguing new dining destinations. Opened in December 2025 at the iconic Press Club building, the restaurant goes far beyond traditional fine dining.
A New Creative Dining Space in Hanoi
In a city renowned for its centuries-old culinary traditions and increasingly sophisticated dining culture, it takes something truly distinctive to stand out.
La Table Hanoia does exactly that.
Officially opening its doors on December 17 at the historic Press Club in Hanoi, the restaurant arrives with ambitions that extend well beyond gastronomy. Rather than positioning itself solely as another fine dining venue, La Table Hanoia presents itself as a creative space where art, architecture, craftsmanship, and cuisine coexist.
The concept reflects a broader vision championed by Hanoia: elevating Vietnamese artistry through contemporary luxury experiences.
In many ways, dining here feels less like visiting a restaurant and more like stepping inside a living gallery—one where every material, texture, dish, and design detail contributes to a larger cultural narrative.
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.
Inspired by Parisian architectural curves, this dome is crafted with 15 layers of lacquer over 20 days, showcasing Hanoia’s mastery in traditional lacquer techniques.
The interior details maintain a consistent artistic tone—organic, sculptural, and deeply refined.
A Unique Bar Concept – 2,241 Recycled Bottle Bottoms
To understand La Table Hanoia, one must first understand Hanoia itself.
Over the years, Hanoia has become synonymous with Vietnamese lacquer craftsmanship, transforming one of the country's oldest artistic traditions into a globally recognized luxury lifestyle brand. Through collaborations with artisans, designers, and craftspeople, the company has consistently explored ways to reinterpret heritage for contemporary audiences.
La Table Hanoia extends that philosophy into the world of hospitality.
Rather than treating craftsmanship as decoration, the restaurant integrates artistic traditions into the core of the guest experience. Every material choice, design element, and spatial composition reflects an intention to celebrate Vietnamese artistry in a fresh and contemporary way.
It is a bold statement that traditional craftsmanship remains relevant—not only as cultural heritage but also as a source of innovation and inspiration.
Designed as a Living Gallery
From the moment guests arrive, it becomes clear that design plays a central role in the La Table Hanoia experience.
The restaurant's architecture and interiors were conceived as an immersive environment where every detail contributes to a cohesive artistic narrative. Organic forms, sculptural surfaces, handcrafted materials, and thoughtful lighting combine to create a space that feels simultaneously intimate and dramatic.
Unlike many luxury restaurants that prioritize minimalism or opulence alone, La Table Hanoia strikes a balance between warmth, refinement, and cultural depth.
The result is a dining environment that encourages exploration and discovery long before the first course arrives.
The lighting is intentionally sculpted to highlight material textures and create a warm, artistic, and relaxing atmosphere, ideal for both fine dining and evening cocktails.
French Fine Dining Through a Vietnamese Lens
The culinary philosophy at La Table Hanoia mirrors the design philosophy of the space itself.
Rather than choosing between French and Vietnamese traditions, the restaurant explores the possibilities that emerge when the two are thoughtfully combined.
Classical French techniques provide the foundation for the menu, while Vietnamese ingredients, flavors, and cultural references introduce originality and local identity. The result is a dining experience that feels internationally refined yet deeply connected to its surroundings.
This fusion is not performed for novelty alone.
Instead, it reflects the same balance between heritage and innovation that defines every aspect of the restaurant.
Menu Highlights

Vietnamese tapas, reimagined with creativity, such as:

Every dish balances tradition and innovation—staying true to Vietnamese identity while embracing modern presentation.
