Located on Nicolae Titulescu Boulevard 165, in the heart of the city, this Vietnamese-style restaurant manages to create a relaxed, intimate yet sophisticated atmosphere, ideal for a special date.
Atmosphere & decor
The space is well thought out: the ambience is modern with discreet Asian accents, pleasant lighting and details that tell you you're not in a run-of-the-mill downtown venue. Yet the restaurant remains cosy, creating the ideal setting for two people who want to spend quality time together. Plus, the central location makes it easily accessible, so you can start the evening with a stroll and end romantically with dinner at Little Hanoi.

Culinary Experience 🍽️
Little Hanoi's menu offers authentic dishes and varied options, making it suitable even if one of you is less adventurous when it comes to exotic food. Here are some highlights:
- Tasty soups like Pho bo - beef soup with rice noodles and Vietnamese spices.
- Special duck or beef dishes bring a degree of refinement and are suitable for a special evening.
- Vegetarian and vegan options if you want to go lighter.
- Desserts and drinks that end the meal on a sweet and savory note - perfect to end a date. Sticky rice is a delicacy here!
If you're on the fence about the menu, the perfect recommendation for a 'date' would be: start with pho soup, continue with crispy duck, and end with sticky rice + hot tea to sustain the conversation, without the rush.
