Cinnamon Restaurant is a Vietnamese restaurant at 8 P. Hàng Buồm in the Hoàn Kiếm district, set on one of the oldest trading streets of Hanoi‘s Old Quarter. It focuses on Vietnamese home-style and regional cooking with attentive, traditional hospitality. Travelers come for a sit-down introduction to Vietnamese flavors a short walk from Hoàn Kiếm Lake, and the restaurant holds a 4.7 rating from more than 380 diners.
What to Expect at Cinnamon Restaurant
Hàng Buồm once housed the sail-makers and Chinese merchant families of the 36 guild streets. Today it is lined with narrow tube houses, and Cinnamon offers a calmer, table-service alternative to the plastic-stool street stalls nearby. Expect a menu built around northern Vietnamese staples: fresh herbs, fish sauce dressings, grilled meats, rice-paper rolls and noodle dishes. Staff are used to explaining dishes to first-time visitors.
The kitchen is open continuously from late morning to late evening, so it works for a long lunch between Old Quarter walks or a relaxed dinner before the night market. Vegetarian options are typical of Vietnamese menus. Tell your server about allergies, especially to peanuts, shellfish or fish sauce, and check the current menu on the official website.
- Old Quarter address: Hàng Buồm is one of the area’s historic merchant streets.
- All-day kitchen: Open 10:30AM to 11PM, seven days a week.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Lunch before noon and dinner before 6:30PM are the easiest times to walk in. Reserve online for weekend evenings, when Hàng Buồm becomes part of the pedestrian night-market zone. The Old Quarter has no metro station. Most visitors walk from Hoàn Kiếm Lake in about 10 minutes, or take a taxi or ride-hail car to the street. Sidewalks are crowded with parked motorbikes, and Old Quarter shophouses often have a step at the entrance, so wheelchair users should call ahead about seating.
Bạch Mã Temple, one of Hanoi’s oldest temples, stands a few doors down at 76 Hàng Buồm. Đồng Xuân Market is about 5 minutes north on foot. The bars of Tạ Hiện and the shore of Hoàn Kiếm Lake are 5 to 10 minutes south, which makes it easy to continue the evening after dinner.
