Don Duck Old Quarter Restaurant

This Michelin-starred spot is perfect for duck lovers coz most of their dishes are duck-based. We tried the roasted duck and it was really tasty and well-seasoned. My only small issue was the bones, which made it a bit tricky to eat, but overall I still enjoyed it (it was my first time trying duck!). The place gets packed, so reservations are a must during peak hours. If you don’t mind lining up, you can wait outside and get seated on the ground floor. The staff were super nice and helpful, recommending dishes and letting us know that what we ordered was already enough for two. Great food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.

The 1/2 roast duck taste smokey good. Came hot and juicy. Although it is not the roasted crispy type but it is still good. Duck pho broth is tasty and was able to taste the smoked duck meat while eating. Duck fried spring roll is crispy and well seasoned. The dipping sauce for the 1/2 duck and fried spring roll is well mix and tastes good. These dishes are more than enough for 2 person servings. The service staff are friendly and approachable. Btw, the toilet is well maintained and there are good enough soaps and clean water for u to wash away your oily hand if u use yr hand to tear the meat from the duck!

The roast duck had no gaminess, was super juicy and well marinated with a smokey flavour. It’s nothing like Chinese Peking duck yet somewhat similar at the same time and is a must try for their signature dish. Duck spring rolls were good & unique. The pho didn’t have much of the aromatic taste or fragrance of pho. It was more of a clear rice noodle soup that was good, but lacked the spices of pho. The liver terrine was pretty good with coconut fragrance in the toast. Drinks were fresh. It’s not often that I think a Michelin guide/bib award is meaningful but this place deserved it. The service & attention to detail was elevated for a small restaurant. Highly recommended to eat here at least once when in Hànội. Cảm ơn.

the Duck Breast Steak is a must try. i personally don't like breast meat but this is different. it almost has the beef steak texture. very nicely marinated and cooked. the spring rolls come with a very unique sauce, a good appetiser to start with. beef fried rice is good too. if u like less salty rice, go for this. they give u a soy sauce as a condiment if u find it too blend. we 2 persons share these 3 dishes, quite fulfilling 👍🏼 overall we spent 550,000 including a bottle of Saigon beer, recommended by the server. oh the server - very friendly, very hospitable and speaks very good English, surely no language barrier.

Our second Michelin dining experience in Hanoi brought us to Don Duck Old Quarter, and it did not disappoint. We thoroughly enjoyed every dish they served. Beyond the excellent food, the customer service truly stood out. The manager patiently and tirelessly explained how to enjoy each dish, making sure every customer felt guided and well taken care of. The attention to detail and genuine hospitality elevated the entire dining experience. It was so good, we ended up eating there twice!

One of the best restaurants I tried in the Old Quarter. The duck dishes are incredible — I loved it so much I ate here twice! The staff are very friendly and accommodating, especially the manager/owner(?) who assisted us. On our second visit, he even gave us complimentary spring rolls. He also took the time to explain how to enjoy the dishes and its proper pairings, which made the experience even better. Overall, amazing food and exceptional hospitality. They truly deserve their Michelin Guide recognition!

If you’re a fan of duck, this is the place. The roast duck was succulent (half 275k VND). The duck spring rolls (125k VND) and duck liver terrine (95k VND) were both good. It was a little weird that we were provided Thai basil but no lettuce for the spring rolls even though the menu photo shows lettuce. Portion size was average for Vietnam. It was a lite dinner for us.

This restaurant is definitely one of my top three places during my trip to Hanoi. The duck breast steak was incredibly tender, and the roasted duck was delicious, pairing perfectly with the sauce provided. The braised duck offered a unique and interesting flavor, especially when enjoyed with the noodles. Overall, I was very impressed with the food. The staff were polite and provided helpful recommendations. The restaurant was clean, and the prices were reasonable considering the quality of the dishes.
