"A rather good restaurant out by Hanoi's increasingly upmarket Ho Tay, serving a select on of well-prepared and tasty Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese, and Italian dishes."

The upstairs dining room is a pleasant space, but for a truly intimate experience request the private dining table in the restaurant's basement.

Start the day with muesli and fresh fruits or a full buffet breakfast, then stop by later for a gourmet sandwich or a barbecued duck salad (most main courses are around $3–4), but make sure you leave room for dessert.
Frommer's
"Just around the corner from the Temple of Literature in Dong Da District, KOTO is the best choice for refreshment after touring the sight."

To avoid them, head for the second floor and eat at low tables while sitting on floor cushions, or go up to the rooftop terrace on the fourth floor and enjoy views over the Temple of Literature.
