Muối Tiêu - Salt n' Pepper Kitchen — Restaurant in Hà Nội

Incredibly impressed with this place. I saw it show up on a few lists of best cafes in Hanoi online and didn't think much of it, but one day I found myself near it and decided to try it out.

The café is located on a really cute walking street with nice cobblestones. It's very scenic and photogenic.

The place is very cozy with nice furniture, air-conditioning, and plenty of outlets to charge your phone or other tech accessories. There is also an outdoor area with lots of foliage and greenery.

The Western fare is typical, but they use very high quality ingredients. For two people, I ordered the Green Benedict, the Rocket Salad with Smoked Salmon, and the Tomato Basil Soup with Sourdough Bread. The soup had a very smooth texture, not grainy at all. I don't typically like sourdough, but theirs is chewy, fluffy, and crisp on the outside. SO GOOD. Multiple times throughout the meal, I kept stopping to marvel at how delicious it was. By the end, we were left with full bellies and happy smiles.

I also ordered a hot chocolate which was very good and not too sweet. Good portion as well.

The staff is nice and attentive.

Good job, Muối Tiêu! I'll definitely be coming back and directing people to...

So I saw all the ads on Facebook, and I have to say, at some point, Sunday morning you wake up and you're just thinking - I got to get myself one of those. So I went, I ordered and I ate. I have no regrets. I went for a delicously refreshing ice blended beverage containing cucumber and was it litchi...? Can't remember but see the attached picture anyway - I can only tell you that it was great (asked for the unsweetened version, but it's up to you). In terms of food, the salmon with eggs and greens. Tastes amazing. The price is well worth the food you're getting and it fills you up for quite a while too! Try it out, with friends or alone, they have some English books available you can read - tremendously enjoyed the one with the X amount of facts you never knew... just dont read the food section while eating, might be a tad off putting ... But a great place, great food and great staff - definitely...

Excellent place for a Brunch! Good service, good food in taste and in presentation. 4 Stars and not 5 Stars because of the dirty toilets.

Food quality: The eggs benedicts were well cooked, not too raw, not too cooked. Smoked Salmon on the other hand wasnt of a first quality, but hey, not easy to get this in VN. Drink wise, the Kombucha was refreshing, but the Water infused in Mint+cinnamon would have deserved a bit more balance between both aromas.

Service: Overall good, despite one little misunderstanding with one of the Waiters. If you ask a question where there are 2 options, you expect to hear an answer indicated which option, and not an answer saying "yes".

Atmosphere: Well decorated, pretty much Zen.

Hygiene: The black spot. Toilets are quite bad and dirty, compared to the rest of the location. Just put a small Budget to pump up the...
