🇮🇹 Italian-themed buffet at Layered – 21st floor, L7 Westlake Hanoi Hotel by Lotte
📍139 Vo Chi Cong, Tay Ho, Hanoi
As an Italian food lover, I was quite surprised when I accidentally discovered that Layered has a themed buffet every day.
The first impression is the space: located on the 21st floor, so the view is extremely airy, overlooking the whole city. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the light is soft, and quiet, creating a relaxing feeling for a gentle evening.
🌟 About the food:
The menu is not as extensive as traditional buffets, but the big plus is that every dish is delicious, authentic, and carefully prepared like an A La Carte dish in an Italian restaurant.
• 🥩 Steak: There are both dishes served at the table and steak on the buffet line. The meat is soft, fragrant, and even when cold, it still retains its delicious taste - which is quite rare.
• 🦐 Grilled seafood: Including scallops, shrimp, mussels... grilled just right, keeping the sweetness, not dry. Scallops are the highlight, lightly buttery, juicy.
• 🍝 Italian dishes:
• Thin crust pizza, moderate filling, true Italian style.
• Spaghetti is not too impressive.
• In return, there is meatball with rich tomato sauce, fragrant with herbs.
• Tomato soup is also delicious, very suitable with toasted bread.
• 🥓 Korean food corner: There is grilled pork belly, many types of kimchi and a pot of white rice - the standard Korean style of eating rice with grilled food, creating a very everyday feeling.
• 🍣 Sushi: Full of types from maki to nigiri, although not too special but a light choice to change the taste.
• 🥗 Salad: Mediterranean style - lots of greens, olives, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, light sour sauce - very balanced taste.
• 🍰 Dessert: Mousse, tart, ice cream, sweet soup... beautifully presented, moderate taste, not too sweet. This part is really worth trying.
I also drank a bottle of wine - light, easy to drink, making the overall dinner more complete.
💁♀️ About the service:
The staff is pleasant, understanding of the guests, serving dishes at the table politely, delicately, and quickly.
💰 Price:
799,000++/person - with the overall experience from food, space to service, I find it completely reasonable.
✨ Conclusion:
If you love Italian food and want to find a private, gentle space, with properly invested food and quality service - Layered 7 Westlake is worth a try. I will definitely come back for the French-themed buffet or seafood on weekends.
