Le Beaulieu sits on Ngô Quyền in Hanoi's French Quarter — the strip of Hoàn Kiếm where the colonial-era streetscape is most intact, and where the competition for a serious sit-down meal is genuinely stiff. What sets this address apart is the combination of a dedicated wine cellar alongside a full French kitchen, a pairing that remains unusual in a neighborhood more accustomed to tourist-facing brasseries and hotel buffets.
The 4.4 rating across more than 300 Google reviews is a reliable signal in this category: French dining in Hanoi skews toward a clientele that leaves detailed feedback, and sustained scores here typically reflect consistent execution in the kitchen and attentive front-of-house rather than novelty visits. With no menu details scraped at time of writing, the specifics of the current carte are best confirmed directly, but the wine cellar component suggests a program built for pairing rather than a token list.
The French Quarter location draws a mix of long-stay expatriates, business travelers, and Hanoians marking occasions — a crowd that expects reliable provenance on the plate and bottle rather than a loose French-Vietnamese fusion approach. Among the Hoàn Kiếm options that trade on French heritage, Le Beaulieu's combination of a serious cellar and a high review volume gives it a distinct anchor in a competitive corridor.
One of the best French restaurant in Hanoi. I ordered set menu with wine pairing, which is so good. Find many good dishes and wines here. As waitress recommend, ala cart are also good choice. People here are so nice. By the end of the dinner, they gave us souvenirs!
I had such a wonderful time! I briefly stopped at L’Epiceri prior and snatched some bread and Brie. They graciously let me snack in their outside patio and then I ordered a delicious elevated croissant and I honestly forget the fish but as you can see: IT WAS DIVINE.
Everything here was fantasitc. This place already has a great reputation and our entire meal was no different. As the first restaurant in Vietnam, this French inspired menu is worth planning on your trip.
What really stood out was the staff—they are friendly, intuitive, and genuinely make you feel valued. It’s rare to experience service that feels effortless yet personal. The ambiance is bright, modern, and inviting, making it a perfect place to enjoy good food and good company.
What a wonderful Michelin star restaurant in the heart of Hanoi at the Sofitel Metropole Hotel. Lovely welcome upon arrival, the sommelier was extremely professional and service outstanding. We ordered the tasting plate menu with wine pairing, it is excellent, highly recommend.
