Tamarind Café

Description:

  • Tamarind is a laid-back, friendly spot, and, even if you're not a vegetarian, this welcoming cafe's inventive menu will tickle your fancy. Soups like vegetarian wonton and two-color soup (spinach and sweet potato) take the chill off Hanoi winter nights and go great with the selection of sandwiches. Other inventive options here include "Ratatofu," ratatouille over tofu, and the Tamarind salad -- diced onions, cucumber, tomatoes, mango, and avocado over a bed of crisp lettuce served with honey vinaigrette -- is a fabulous summer lunch. Fruit shakes and excellent teas round out the meal. It's not only a great place to take a break from the hectic traffic of the Old Quarter and relax, but also a good place to meet other travelers and pick up advice. The cafe is full early in the morning when large groups of travelers setting out with Handspan Travel meet here for breakfast before their trips.
