A 32-seat Hanoi restaurant has earned three Michelin Bib Gourmand awards for its Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere, fulfilling owner Helen Hoai's dream of a welcoming dining experience.
Located at 98 To Ngoc Van Street, Hanoi, Chao Ban Restaurant has been honored three times by the Michelin Guide with the Bib Gourmand award, recognizing its delicious food at reasonable prices.
The restaurant's owner, Helen Hoai, chose the name "Chao Ban" (Hello Friend) to create a welcoming atmosphere for diners.
The restaurant, founded by Vietnamese designer Helen Hoai and her French husband André Bosia, a former head chef at the Metropole Hotel, specializes in Vietnamese cuisine.
Helen has had the chance to eat at Michelin-starred restaurants abroad which inspired her to earn Michelin recognition for her own restaurant. That dream came true in 2023, three years after she opened Chao Ban.
