If You Are Near Notre-Dame or the Louvre

Hanoi 1988 - 72 Quai des Orfèvres, 75001 Paris

The original flagship, located on the quayside directly across from the Île de la Cité. If you have spent the morning at the Louvre, the Sainte-Chapelle, or walking the riverbanks, this is the most natural stop.

The dining room is the largest in the group, which means walk-ins are more easily accommodated here. The menu is also the broadest: pho, bun bo, spring rolls, starters, and all of the kitchen's signature dishes.

What to order: Start with the fried spring rolls, hand-rolled in rice paper and fried to order. Follow with the bo bun or the beef pho with a 24-hour broth that has been cooking since the day before.

If You Are on Île Saint-Louis or in the Marais

Hanoi 1988 Sao Vàng - 16 Rue le Regrattier, 75004 Paris

Tucked into a quiet street on Île Saint-Louis, Sao Vàng is a short walk from the Marais or Notre-Dame. This is the most kitchen-focused address in the group. The pho broth simmers for 24 hours, noodles are made fresh each morning, and the chicken and beef broths are prepared in separate stocks which showcases a level of care that almost no Vietnamese restaurant in Paris bothers with.

The interior is designed after the neighbourhood tea shops of 1980s Hanoi: worn wood, warm light, Vietnamese objects placed with care.

What to order: The Phở Bò Sốt Vang - 24-hour pho broth with beef slow-braised in red wine, is available only here. If you prefer something lighter, the Tôm Bún with tiger shrimps, mango, and fresh herbs is one of the most refreshing bowls on the menu.

Reservation strongly recommended. Book ahead at viet-eat.com.

If You Are in the Latin Quarter or Saint-Germain

Hanoi 1988 Ca Phê - 35 Rue Galande, 75005 Paris

One street back from the Seine, in the oldest part of the Latin Quarter. The Ca Phê is built around Vietnamese coffee: cà phê phin, a small metal filter through which coffee drips slowly into sweetened condensed milk. The menu also includes egg coffee (cà phê trứng) and Vietnamese pastries. Come here to pause, not to rush.

If You Are in Le Marais or the 3rd Arrondissement

Flowers & Archives - 51 Rue des Archives, 75003 Paris

Part coffee lounge, part ceramics boutique, part flower shop, and part workshop space. The ceramics are sourced from Bát Tràng, the historic pottery village outside Hanoi. The merchandise includes the Hanoi 1988 cookbook, tote bags, keychains, and t-shirts. Regular ateliers cover Vietnamese ceramics, floral design, and bread-making.
