It’s often said that Saigon is the standard bearer for international cuisines and flavors in Vietnam. Yet, it’s worth pointing out Hanoi doesn’t disappoint either. With its burgeoning middle class and continued rise as a central hub for business travelers and holidaymakers in Asia, Hanoi’s culinary scene is now more appealing than ever. And with that rise, venues are beginning to cater to a growing demand for private dining experiences that can support groups and special occasions. Among hundreds of private dining experiences in Hanoi, here are five places that Vietcetera can recommend for a perfect private dining experience in Hanoi.

1. French Grill

Known as one of the finest high-end French cuisine restaurants in Hanoi, JW Marriott’s French Grill serves authentic French delicacies paired with premium wines. The restaurant menu features classic French dishes with a local twist, which is centered with grilled meat and seafood. Besides high-quality French specialties, visitors can leave amazed with one of the largest open kitchens in Hanoi and a glass-encased wine cellar.

French Grill offers an extensive area of private and semi-private rooms that are all designed in a setting with candle-lit tables, leather seats, and chandeliers.
