Experience Serein Café & Lounge

This is the ideal place to admire the old Hanoi amidst modern life. Situated within the Long Bien railway station complex, Serein Café boasts a scenic view overlooking the iconic Long Bien Bridge spanning the Red River, filled with nostalgic memories. Perhaps, this is seen as a very special advantage that not every café is fortunate enough to have.

Anyone passing by is slightly bewildered by the grandeur of Serein. Formerly, this place was an old villa dating back to the French colonial period, so you feel like you're stepping into a café in Paris because every small detail is intricately designed and carries a Western atmosphere.

With its Western-style villa theme featuring predominantly earthy tones, the interior of the café, from tables, sofas to the bar counter, all harmonize with this color scheme. However, the café is not dim and gloomy as two large windows facing Long Bien Bridge bring in ample natural light throughout the room.

And the most memorable feature of Serein is its rooftop space, which is stunningly beautiful. The floor is tiled in a chessboard pattern with harmonious black and white, consistent with the overall color scheme. From here, you can fully admire the picturesque Long Bien Bridge. This place is also a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts as every angle produces dazzling photos.
