Lovely food in a beautiful atmosphere prepared and served by street kids learning the skills for their own futures. Right over the street from the Temple of Literature, and a good 20 minutes' walk from the centre of the old town.

OK, so Bill Clinton's been here, but it's really very down to earth.

A great initiative to train young people up as chefs, waiters and bakers.

The restaurant serves French-accented Indochine cuisine in a lovely garden courtyard.

Seemed popular with diplomats when we were there.

Food is excellent and we felt very very full when we left, but very virtuous as we had helped people just by eating!

They also have a cafe and bakery called Baguette et Chocolat

Pho (rice noodle soup, pronounced “phur”) is a traditional meal in northern Vietnam, particularly in Hanoi, dating back thousands of years.

Pho looks like a simple dish, but it actually takes a lot of skill and experience to prepare properly. A good bowl of pho calls for sweet and pure bouillon, soft rice noodles that are soaked in boiling water for just the right duration, and of course, tender and fragrant meat (chicken or beef).

Pho Bo is noodles with sliced beef while Pho Ga is noodles with shredded chicken.
