Le Club at the Hanoi Sofitel Metropole Legend

At the center of the Old Quarter, the Hanoi Sofitel Metropole Legend which stays not far from the famous Opera House is a charming French colonial structure. The hotel has stood the test of time through the ups and downs of the capital. It does not come as surprise as last year a secret bomb tanker was discovered with the hotel. That may be the reason why the hotel bears a French vibe just like the colonial time.  Le Club is its popular bar which also embraces the same Gallic tradition. Its evenings always keep the beat up with live jazz session. The afternoon is favorite time for any chocolate addicts as there is a chocolate buffet from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. It is easy to socialize with its friendly atmosphere. The sample tasting event is welcome with its tasty dishes. The menu verges more on European cuisines and features classic cocktails from Martini to Long Island Tea. The more local part of the drink menu is Vietnamese famous tea which is still a well-hidden secret from international tea lovers.
