MadamTranRestaurant — Vietnamese Kitchen
A kitchen on the water in Hanoi, cooking the food we grew up on: clay pots over charcoal, herbs cut the same morning, broth that has been going since dawn. No fusion, no shortcuts — just what a Vietnamese family actually eats, with the lake outside the window.

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.

This form sends a booking request. The restaurant will contact you to confirm availability.
Finding us
We are on the lake road, a few minutes from the water. Look for the red lantern and the smell of charcoal.
