Godmother Bake & Brunch
★ 3.9 · 548 reviews Hanoi Opened 2025
Saigon brunch lands in Hanoi, five chiffon cakes deep
Five chiffon cake flavours exist only at this address, jasmine among them, which alone is worth the trip up Ấu Triệu. The kitchen runs on Australian brunch logic with an eco-minded streak, so shakshuka and pancakes sit next to a bò né wagyu bowl that leans local.
It shares a building with Capos, so you can turn the visit into a full day on the block rather than a single stop.

For a number of years godmother has been one of my favorite restaurants both in Saigon and Hanoi. I always gave it Sterling 5 star reviews. However, over the past year it’s all gone downhill. Last time I was in for lunch, waited 15 minutes at the table in a nearly empty restaurant. Nobody came to take the order so I left. The photos attached are from previous visits when the place still lived up to expectation.

Came for lunch for the first time after trying out dessert a few times before. Quite dissapointed to be honest. Menu has variety but the overall taste is salty, from burgers to duck waffle to mac ‘n cheese. Drinks are average, we tried kombucha, mocktails, milkshakes,… the flavors are just meh. The biggest turn down was the timing. We ordered things to share and also individual plates, food did not come til 30m later, and only 2 dish each time. After half of our food came, it took another 20m for the rest to arrived, and we noticed some surrounding tables had the same problem. My friend had to wait 15m after everyone else had their food for hers to arrived. GM should have a good look at their kitchen system, since mine is not the first review to point that problem out.

A spacious restaurant next to the church, the main tourist attraction of Hanoi. They have spacious menu for brunch from classic eggs Benedict to traditional Bo Ne (I thought that it’s supposed to be beef steak but in the restaurant’s interpretation it was pork, too greasy to my taste). In general it’s a good place to have a rest with the AC from walking around the Old Quarter.

We visited this restaurant twice and enjoyed it both time’s. The breakfast pancakes were good and they had a little citrus taste that was different. The salad was delicious and the strawberry daiquiris were good too.

High price small portion (one portion of $10 - $14 was just enough for a 5 year old) Staff were poorly trained when it comes to service but the food quality was alright. Best thing about this place is the view to the cathedral. You'll be suprised that you have to pay 5% service charge when you have to serve yourself getting utensils out of the cupboard because staffs wouldn't think you need plate and utensils to enjoy your meal
