Blue Butterfly Restaurant & Cooking Class

By far one of the best restaurants in Hanoi. Was here 6 years ago and impressed. Tonight even better. The staff and food are exceptional, and very well priced for the overall quality, flavours and service. A great fusion menu not to be missed. I will be visiting again tomorrow to explore more of the menu. I have rated a number of restaurants around the world that I feel are ahead of their price point in that location, and this one us with the. Best!

Came here after reading the enthusiastic review in a well known travel guide book. The plates looked real fancy but the taste was… not there to be honest. Should have seen it coming now that I think about it, the place was filled with British people. Felt like they tried to make the food taste as European as possible, and that’s just not what we crossed the globe for. Would also be better to get the drinks before the food is served. What we experienced here doesn’t justify its price. If you’re scared of Asian food, this place is for you tho

I was recommended to try this restaurant by a local, and I must say, I was not disappointed! The food was absolutely delicious and lived up to the hype. The flavors were incredible, and you can tell that they use quality ingredients. The only downside was the waiting time for the food, which was a bit longer than I expected. However, the service was not bad at all, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I also loved the old-world charm of the restaurant's setting. It adds a unique atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for great food in a cozy ambiance!

The most amazing Vietnamese cuisine restaurant ever. I love how they customize Vietnamese traditional food with creative and passion and foreigners can enjoy it in a very classic way. Good food, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, charming old house with antique crafts. Will come back here often

Tonight my partner and I ate at the Blue Butterfly - our second night in a row. We had thought we should try a different restaurant (because we leave Vietnam tomorrow) but after looking at menus that all looked rather similar, we decided to spoil ourselves again. Absolutely delicious food! If only we’d had more time, we would also have liked to sign up for a Blue Butterfly cooking class. Thanks again Sherwind, Chris and all staff at Blue Butterfly. You are warm and welcoming. Good service is as important as good food and your restaurant provides both in abundance.

The Blue Butterfly is a cooking class, that was recommended by a local Vietnamese. We were delighted with the food. The ambience is dated but it's a social enterprise and benefits a lot of youth. The service was great and the location is in the heart of downtown Hanoi.

Been in Hanoi for a couple days already and have been so amazed with the incredible service of the people, not until we dined in this place. Unfortunately the guy and girl assigned at the first floor were not as friendly as the many others we’ve met in other restaurants/hotels/tours. It ruined the overall experience. They were not very helpful, unmindful and a bit rude in some instances. One was standing beside the table holding the plate and when my husband said he is not done yet, he even replied with “yes I know”. Then why are you holding the plate then? 🤷‍♀️ I mean, if you were fixing the table so the next food has space, you could have said “excuse me”. The table is small and you’re in the middle while we are eating. 🙄 Chris (must be the manager) was outstanding and very friendly but of course is not expected to be there the entire time. We got the set meal. It was just okay. We’ve had better. Nonetheless it was very filling, more then enough for 2 people but probably not a wise use of calories. I will not come back, there are just too many restaurants in Hanoi. With the price, I really expect better service.

Not sure why it has a bad rap for its pricing. Its cleared stated on the menu. The food was spot on. Drinks were ok. Staff were really friendly and well spoken. Great Ambience too very rustic decor. Highly recommend these guys.
