Tây Hồ Temple (Phủ Tây Hồ)
A stunning lakeside temple on a peninsula jutting into West Lake. Dedicated to a legendary princess, it's one of Hanoi's most important spiritual sites. Incense, chanting, and lake breezes.
Maison de Tet Decor
10 min drive. A gorgeous garden restaurant in a French colonial villa. Vietnamese–French fusion brunch with dishes like bánh mì eggs Benedict and lotus root salad. The garden is magical.
West Lake Flower Village (Nghi Tàm)
5 min walk. Wander through one of Hanoi's traditional flower-growing villages on the edge of West Lake. Seasonal blooms everywhere — gorgeous in spring with peach blossoms.
Chè Sen (Lotus Dessert Stall)
On the road back. Stop at one of the famous lotus dessert vendors on Tây Hồ road. Chè sen — sweet lotus seed soup — is the neighbourhood's specialty. Delicate, fragrant, and uniquely Hanoian.

Maison de Tet Decor is the most beautiful restaurant in Hanoi. The garden brunch was absolutley dreamy ✨
Book ahead for weekends! We showed up at 10am on a Saturday and waited 45 min. Also try their lotus tea — its made with flowers from West Lake
If Maison de Tet is booked try Xofa Café & Bistro on Tông Đản — similar colonial garden vibes, great brunch menu, and they have live music on weekends
The flower village in spring is UNREAL. Peach blossoms everywhere 🌸 Best during Tết season (late Jan/Feb) when the growers are preparing for the holiday. So photogenic
Brunch lovers and couples seeking a relaxed morning
