Fodor's Expert Review Halia

A unique marriage of European cooking styles and Southeast Asian flavors, Halia is one of the more notable establishments in Hanoi's constantly expanding fine-dining scene. Some of the more inspired items served here include chili-crab spaghetti, tamarind spiced pork ribs, and frozen ginger-nougat parfait. The three-course lunch menu (240,000d) is served between 11 am and 2 pm and highlights such dishes as beef teriyaki spaghetti and ravioli of mushroom ragout. Decor is modern and airy with fine outlooks over the lake.
