Dining Recommendations
Top of Hanoi: The highest open-air bar in Hanoi. No glass barriers, excellent views, and a romantic atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a cocktail while feeling the breeze (note: it can be a bit cold when it's windy, and prices are on the higher side).

Grill 63 (63F): A high-end steakhouse, suitable for luxurious dinners to celebrate important occasions.
Transportation and Important Notes
