Seafood Restaurants in Hanoi

Nam Phuong

Address: 19 Pho Phan Chu Trinh French Quarter

Phone: 04 824 0926

Hours: 11:00-14:00 & 17:00-22:00

For upscale Vietnamese in a large and beautiful villa, you can't go wrong with this place. While the kitchen does a commendable job with many regional dishes, the menu particularly shines with seafood specialities like soft-shell crab in tamarind sauce. An acoustic ensemble plays traditional music nightly, often working in some Western numbers for novelty's sake.

Dragon Boat

Address: Tay Long 3, Thanh Nien West

Phone: 04 829 4894

Hours: 10:00-21:00

It can be quite a hoot having dinner aboard a boat painted to look like a dragon as it tools around West Lake. The menu emphasises seafood but generally covers the Vietnamese staples, including novel snake and pigeon platters. Vegetarians will have much to choose from. If you're travelling with a group, you can charter the entire boat for around ₫600,000.
