What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the exceptional duck dishes, from crispy roast duck to duck spring rolls and duck pho, often praising the high quality and authentic flavors. The attentive service and cozy ambiance are frequently highlighted, creating a delightful dining experience. While some mention that recommended dishes can be the most expensive, the overall value, especially considering the Michelin recognition, is considered outstanding.
"Such a delightful experience. The service is fantastic. The duck is roasted perfectly and the sauce is very tasty, especially when had with the basil. The duck spring roll was delicious. Nicely paired with iced lime juice. The veggies are crunchy and delicious. Even the boiled rice is cooked so perfectly; firm enough to stick together but not too hard to taste undercooked. Highly recommended!!!"

"Don Duck Old Quarter Restaurant did not disappoint me and my partner; we were craving for duck on our last night at Hanoi. This restaurant has Michelin guide (see my attached photo), had good customer service, and great food taste. Their duck liver was especially amazing. The prices were acceptable as well. I'd definitely come back here in future when I'm back in Old Quarter Hanoi!"

Michelin Guide: An opinion on the first awards given in Vietnam
I’d like to address the corruption accusations that I’ve seen mentioned several times on social media. Yes, Sun Group sponsored the arrival of the guide in Vietnam, and there is a clear conflict of interest as they own restaurants. However, beyond these facts, there is little that can be said without entering into the realm of speculation.
