At the heart of La Tour d’Argent’s culinary legacy is its celebrated pressed duck, a dish of such distinction that every serving has been meticulously recorded since 1890, with the total now having exceeded one million.
Diners who indulge in this iconic experience receive a uniquely numbered certificate, joining a list of illustrious patrons including U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Certificate #112,151) and Charlie Chaplin (Certificate #253,652). Now, diners will have the opportunity to savor this legendary dish right in the heart of Hanoi.
Le Beaulieu is renowned for serving modern French cuisine with nods to classical French flavors and an emphasis on seasonality and superior ingredients. While there are some traditional French touches, the presentation is stylish, with well-balanced portions and fresh produce from France, Vietnam and elsewhere. Le Beaulieu was recently selected in the prestigious Michelin Guide 2024.
For the past 60 years, Sofitel has embodied French zest all around the globe. Throughout 2024, the brand’s diamond jubilee is being marked by a series of 120 exclusive events and experiences at hotels and resorts worldwide – including the exclusive La Tour d’Argent takeover at Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi.
