Hanoi Cafe - (Near Tower Hamlets, london)

Miles Wheeler Simply the best restaurant in London, I love this place - it’s my go to for birthdays or people visiting. Such a wonderful, relaxed place to go with exceptional food and amazing wine. In the summer it’s great to sit outside on a warm evening and in the winter it’s a great retreat inside. The produce they use is obviously really high quality they work with the best suppliers and it shows. There’s always something meat based, seafood based and vegetarian. Sundays they normally do a dish to share too and the Herne Hill market is on which makes for the ideal Sunday afternoon. I’ve brought vegan friends too and it’s worth just letting them know in advance and I’d suggest booking too. It’s a testament to the place that the manager has been there for 8+ years and I still know the chefs years on too, the team are great, always so welcoming and calm. For me this is the ideal neighbourhood restaurant and I visit whenever I can. 10s across the board for Llewelyns!

Christopher Welch I worked with Ann-Marie to book our wedding suite as well as to create a block for friends and family. Ann-Marie explained that they dont standardly offer blocks, but she did go above and beyond in every regard to assist with my friends booking several rooms around us at a discount due to the amount of inquiries they received. We also invited many friends and family to join us for Sunday Roast, Ann-Marie again went above and beyond to offer the immediate parents/family a snug and the rest of the folks staying at the hotel they allowed to post up 15 minutes early in the patio to reserve a spot as the dining room had already been booked. Communication was excellent over email, allowing for my wife and I to organize much of this well in advance as well as to pivot and make important changes up to the day. Service in the pub at in the hotel were excellent. All of my friends and family were very happy. Ann-Marie made sure to get my wife back a favorite earring that got lost on the floor. The pub itself is truly beautiful, the rooms are wonderful (highly recommend the Armstrong suite--great for getting ready, relaxing, hosting), my wife who owns an events company says their Sunday Roast is excellent (tough critic), friends and family enjoyed themselves inside as well as in the surrounding neighborhood without a hitch (and they can sometimes be known to stay up late), and we could not be happier overall. We owe our thanks to Ann-Marie and the staff at Half Moon Herne hill for treating us so well. It will always stay a special place to my wife and I.

Nuria Yeste Some friends said it was one of the best roasts in London and the hype was real. Me and my partner ordered the pork belly and the beef one. The amount was generous, the veggies were good, specially the roasted potatoes. The beef was super tender, flavourful and good amount. The pork belly was super crispy, but the meat itself also was soft and melted in your mouth. They usually give a small piece for pork belly but this one was big too. Amazing roast and one of the best ones Ive had!!

Grace Salt I absolutely LOVE the Sylvan post for a top quality roast, and I regularly bring different friends/family here when I need my fix! Lovely decor and atmosphere, it can be a bit noisy on a Sunday but thats because its clearly quite popular!

Jess M Great coffee! Friendly staff. Use estate dairy which is always a plus in my books. Makes their own pumpkin spice blend for pumpkin spice lattes. Recommend !!

Rachel Burrell Absolutely amazing evening. The service was so attentive with a special mention to Aliha and Cecelia. Food was simply outstanding. I had the Lamb, perfectly cooked with the Jollof rice, plantain and sensation oxtail Mac and cheese balls. This food was everything is intended to be. Flavourful, heartwarming and daring combinations of flavours. Drinks were mixed well and served beautifully too. I can’t fault anything and highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely be back.
