about the venue: Klever Juice

More a meta-comment than an actual comment (although I find this place crappy to say the least).

ratzer said : "Cant understand that this place seem to have gotten better reviews than any other place in Hanoi, hope this is not an example of people with personal interest doing write ups on their own place to attract costume"...

If you look at all the 4/5 stars comments, they have all been done by users (Leyla, Robwhite, nguyen01 and nanny) who haven't commented on any other place since then. The first 3 have registered to the NH the 26/28th of July (when the restaurant has opened, if I remember correctly). Strange coincidences, no?

about the venue: Festa (Ly Quoc Su)

This new restaurant is very nice. The food is good, the location is perfect, and the terrace at the top is a wonderful place to sit and relax. I already went there 3 times and I always enjoyed it (one nice touch : all pizzas can be served as calzone). And, given the quality of the service and food, it is not more expensive than similar restaurants.

about the venue: Chim Sao

I love this place. It's been now 3 years that I come here regularly, and the food is fantastic, with some dishes you won't find anywhere else in Hanoi (taste the Mountains sausages, for instance...). Some very interesting rice wines, too. The prices are OK, and the atmosphere really nice (with a good mix of vietnamese and foreigners).

about the venue: Highway4 (Hang Tre)

Highway 4 restaurants (there are 3 of them now in Hanoi) are a good venue and the food is OK. Perfect for bringing some relatives visiting you (I found the food at the one in May Hac De to be better, by the way). However, I tend to agree with Symmo_24 : the way tables and mats are arranged is not very comfortable if you intend to stay more than half an hour... For a similar experience and a slightly more "original" food, you should try "L'oiseau siffleur / Chim Sao" on Ngo Hué.

about the venue: Cafe Des Arts

It is true the prices are quite high, but I really enjoyed this restaurant for its quiet atmosphere and delicious food (try the Special Couscous on WE days !). Highly recommended.

about the venue: Le Petit Bruxelles

Good food, good value, and a nice atmosphere. The lunch menu is only 55k and you get a starter and a main course for the price. An institution among the french-speaking expats in Hanoi (whixh explains why it can be packed sometimes)

about the venue: Mediterraneo

Didn't try neither the pastas nor the salads, but this restaurant probably makes the best pizzas in town (and I've tried many of them) and the atmosphere is ok. The only thing is that the prices seem to have jumped in the last few months, which makes me now think twice before choosing to go and eat there.
