Green Tangerine
From Green Tangerine
In the center of Hanoi's crowded Old Quarter, there's a charming little oasis serving up unique Vietnamese fusion dishes: Green Tangerine, set in a spacious French colonial villa that dates back to 1928.
At this al fresco address, the food is unmistakably French in technique but a strong local influence pervades the flavors and ingredients.
"Vietnamese flavors and French food are an ideal marriage," operations manager Nguyen Dung tells CNN Travel. "I wouldn't call our food traditional -- it's modern fusion, but still retaining an authentic Vietnamese taste."
