Set in an astonishing decor inspired by the design of legendary Long Bien bridge, La Plume is fast becoming a hot spot in the historical part of Hanoi for bistro-style lunch and dinner, all day café and evening drinks.

The name "La Plume" originates from the quill pen that people in ancient times used to write beautiful literary works. It also recalls a time in the past where journalists, writers and photographers from all walks of life gathered to exchange their experiences and the latest news. Left as a hint of such times, famous quotes in different languages from many journalists and writers from all over the world are embedded in details of the decoration. Less hidden is a massive central bar counter under the metal ceiling inspired by Long Bien bridge, creating an impressive setting for a stroll along the French colonial times in Hanoi.
Starting with the hands of writers, La Plume, along with its neighbouring La Table du Chef restaurant, is designed as a platform of recognition to the creation of the hand gesture. As such, the lounge exhibits works from top local craftsmen, artists, chefs, as well as winemakers. To this end, La Plume not only carries 450 references on its wine list, majority of which is French wines, from good to top labels, but also cultivates relationships with the owners and winemakers of the world by displaying their name alongside their wines on its list.
In what is intended to be a memorable environment, La Plume displays an authentic tapas menu prepared by our Executive Chef Mr. Son for all day dining, with organic local and imported products.
La Plume is also the place for the best cocktails in town perfected by world champion Master Mixologist Pham Tien Tiep. Renowned in the country and very at ease with customers, Tiep will share with you his deep knowledge of balance, flavors and latest trends. He is bringing to La Plume a true mixology culture which awakens all your senses.
Each cocktail at La Plume isn’t simply a sophisticated mixed drink but it is the reflection of a story designed to touch your heart. The signature “Full Moon” cocktail was inspired by a tale of his grand-mother about a little girl who dreamed to enjoy the delicious sweet and sour fish soup prepared by her late mother in a full moon night. Also lost his mother at very young age, Tiep relates himself to this little girl and “Full Moon” is his expression of love and
remembrance for his late mother. “Full Moon” cocktail is flavored with herbs and spices that make the sweet and sour fish soup and enchants cocktail’s lovers with a familiar and relaxing taste.
From a perfect place during day-time for a meal or a chat, the lounge becomes an exciting venue with DJs owning the room (Thursdays through to Sundays) and other live entertainment.
