Meg, that inner city 'tour' was a delight as I sit here in Hà Nội. I look forward to testing your suggestions and a Marais foodie 'tour' in an April/May stay for a month. Brett Moir

We went to Benoit in 2022 for my husband’s birthday on your recommendation . Great meal. We did not have the cassoulet. The staff and the manager were so lovely. Have you tried Sourire Galande on the Rue Galande, Our hotel recommended it. The food is very good. Wine bar and small plates.

Hi Terry! I'm so glad you liked Benoît. I haven't been to Sourire Galande, but thanks for the idea.

It has been five years since I’ve eaten Benoit’s cassoulet (“it’s a dud!”), but when I did, it was very well done.

Oh no! You're outing Ha Noi 1988 Sao Vang. We love that place. It's so good. And Le Saint Regis is our local hang out. We go there for lunch all the time. The Plat du Jour is always wonderful and the staff is really great. La Rotisserie de la Tour has been a bit hit and miss for us. We've been a few times, but the last time we were there the service was really, really bad and we vowed never to go back.
