City View Cafe - Hanoi

Be patient to get a good place. Great photo and people watching. Sunset is best.

Decent drinks, the rooftop can get a little cold at night so remember to bring a jacket. Great view of the downtown and lake.

The only good thing you can say about this place is that it largely does what it says in the tin: you get a view. That's it. It is absolutely coasting on that. Nothing else about it is remarkable or even remotely good. Go if it is the only one with the angle you're looking for, but several other establishments have equally nice views and far better product. Pick almost any of them.

Nice view. Enjoyed having the coffee while overlooking the streets below and the lake in front of us. However, drinks food were nothing to shout about.

Good view of crazy traffic. The food is good! Pricy for Hanoi standards...
