Little Hanoi Drinks & Food, 21 Hang Gai Street, Hanoi

"Little Hanoi Drinks & Food is a diamond in the rough. A paradise for the palates of foreigners, this medium sized cafe serves up some tasty meals, bringing a reminiscent familiarity back to the average expat or tourist looking for a little taste of home. From the outside, this cafe appears similar to most others in the popular Hoan Kiem Lake area, with a small open counter to the street in front serving up coffee, pastries and the like to passers-by lured over by the fragrant aroma of freshly brewed coffee. But for those who venture inside, a more rewarding treat is sure to be dished out," writes Karen Merlin in The Vietnam News.

Hi Karen,
I was just visiting Hanoi and supposed to meet an acquaintance at Little Hanoi. That's what I thought she said. While I waited at Little Hanoi (in Pho Ta Hien) she was in Lill Hanoi on Hang Nga nearer the lake. We both ate separately and later compared notes. She was shocked that as a resident of the Old Quarter she did not know the existence of the Little Hanoi I went to. TOld her I read about it in Lonely Planet guide. Did not know HER restaurant which the locals obviously think of as the original.
