Three generations, one stove

Our grandmother sold bún chả from a cart by the water. Her daughter moved it indoors, one room at a time. We kept the recipes and the charcoal, and added just enough tables to see the lake from all of them.

Everything is cooked to order in an open kitchen you can watch from the terrace. If you want to know what is in a dish, ask — we will tell you, and we will tell you honestly if it is too hot for you.

What guests tell us

We came for one bowl of phở and stayed for three courses. Someone explained every dish without us asking twice.

I am vegetarian and I usually go hungry in Hanoi. Here half the menu was mine, and it was the best food of the trip.

Booked the upstairs room for my father's birthday. They remembered he does not eat chilli. Small thing, big deal.

Finding us

We are on the lake road, a few minutes from the water. Look for the red lantern and the smell of charcoal.
