I had a very mixes experience here after my visit at the museum. As a walk in i was somewhat welcomed, and first placed at the bar, but after all i was granted a table. Staff seemed not very motivated, not too many smiles, but they warmes up after a while.
The food is european centric and designed to impress. Foie gra, wagyu steaks and lobster bisque- not sure who thought you get customers for that in this location. But i was happy to try.
I ordered a ceasar salad, a very good dish to measure the skills of a chef. It was actually not bad overall, but the chicken was dry and overcooked. The anchovies were missing too.
Next was the octopus. Unfortunately it was undercooked, rubbery and tasted a little off.
I always say, making mistakes is ok, how you handle them is more important. Service was very understanding, took off 30% of the bill and offered free desert and coffee wich i friendly declined. EXCELLENT MANAGED!

Read moreI recently visited Lê Art Cafe Wine Bistro and had an extremely disappointing experience. The waitress left before we finished ordering, and she forgot to add the pizza we ordered at the beginning. She didn’t read back our order, and we ended up waiting for half an hour for a pizza that hadn’t even been started.

The service was appalling, and the mushroom soup was under-seasoned. I would not recommend this...

La comida estaba muy rica, pedimos pasta, boloñesa y pasta de cangrejo que la recomiendo. Personalmente también los cocos son muy bien presentados y frescos y pedí una leche de arroz con crema de sal que estuvo deliciosa, nunca la había probado, y creo que es una bebida especial que recomiendo pedir en este lugar. Los precios son elevados para Vietnam, sin embargo, la comodidad del lugar y el servicio muy rápido y amable y la localización estratégica dentro del museo y ya pocos pasos del templo de la literatura compensa sustancialmente estos valores, también el hecho de qué tengan cocina abierta todo el día, ya que buscamos restaurantes cercanos, pero sólo atendían hasta las 2:30 de la tarde. No entiendo los malos comentarios que leí al respecto ya que en nuestro caso que vinimos incluso con una bebé de dos años, nos fue muy bien y nos atendieron de...
