Hanoi\u2019s architecture mirrors the city\u2019s \u2013 and the country\u2019s \u2013 checkered history\u00a0Chinese influence, French inspiration, subsidy phase austerity and modern practicalities have resulted in a compelling jumble of mismatched dwellings. One compelling way to absorb the capital\u2019s architecture is through its lovingly converted cafes. Here are five\u00a0you simply can\u2019t miss.<\/h2>\n
\n

Loading T<\/h3>\n

\"loading<\/p>\n

\"loading<\/p>\n

Loading T\u00a0is tucked inside a handsome, century-old colonial villa in the heart of the Old Quarter. The house is an appealing but crumbling example of Indochina-era architecture, with olive-green shutters, rounded balconies and patterned tile flooring. The building was originally built in 1932 and housed just one wealthy family, but was appropriated in the 1950s and divided into 16 separate dwellings. Loading T occupies one of these divisions but many of the others remain as family homes.<\/h3>\n

TIP: Loading T\u00a0 owners Son and Trang mix their coffee with cinnamon, adding an unusual and delicious aftertaste to their blend. They also make a mean egg coffee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hanoi House Cafe<\/h3>\n

\"hidden<\/p>\n

\"hanoi<\/p>\n

Another hidden architectural gem,\u00a0Hanoi House<\/a>\u00a0is a one-room caf\u00e9 exemplifying French-style housing from the early 20th century. The ceiling is high to keep the space cool throughout the summer, and the now-unused fireplace warmed the house in the winter. Mesmerizing art deco tiles blanket the floor while two tall windows allow plenty of natural light. One window has been repurposed as a door, giving access to a makeshift balcony. This balcony is the best seat in the house, as you have front-row views of St. Peter\u2019s Cathedral.<\/p>\n

TIP: The Hanoi House Cafe\u00a0is easy to spot but difficult to access. Head down the alleyway to the left of the caf\u00e9 and climb the steps on the right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Banc\u00f4ng<\/h3>\n

\"cool<\/p>\n

\"cool<\/p>\n

Art Deco architecture took off in the 1930s and 40s, though you\u2019ll find most examples in the French Quarter south of Hoan Kiem Lake. That\u2019s what makes\u00a0Bancong<\/a>, a three-floor caf\u00e9 nestled in the Old Quarter, so unique. Though records have vanished, the house was probably built by a high-ranking Vietnamese official just before the Second World War. Unlike most buildings in Hanoi\u2019s trading quarter, this large corner house was built only as a residence without any commercial purpose.<\/p>\n

\n

Manzi<\/h3>\n

\"manzi<\/h3>\n

\"top<\/p>\n

Manzi<\/a>\u00a0is a contemporary art gallery-cum-cafe with rotating exhibitions. The building is a rare example of a colonial-era detached house that\u2019s maintained its architectural integrity. The house stands almost exactly as it would have done a century ago, though the owners have tastefully white-washed the interior so visitors can focus on the exhibitions. The upper level still has the original floorboards in the front-facing room and charming French windows that bathe the space in natural light. You\u2019ll find more fine colonial buildings on the same street.<\/p>\n

TIP: Looking for something special to take home? Manzi\u2019s upper floor showcases pieces from Vietnam\u2019s up-and-coming contemporary artists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cafe Duy Tri<\/h3>\n

\"cafe<\/p>\n

\"top<\/p>\n

As Vietnam\u2019s cities grew after the war, it became more difficult to allocate desirable land to members of the growing urban population. Many people resisted living down small alleys as they wanted access to the main road for commercial reasons. The solution was the so-called \u201ctube house\u201d which you\u2019ll see all over the capital. These houses have very narrow entrances \u2013 sometimes just two or three metres-wide \u2013 but they go back far from the road.<\/p>\n

Duy Tri<\/a>\u00a0is a good example of Hanoi\u2019s tube houses. You can barely walk through the entrance without brushing somebody\u2019s knees. The business has existed since the 1930s, though it moved around several locations before finding its current home in West Lake. The caf\u00e9 serves excellent traditional Vietnamese coffee and homemade yoghurt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
