Bobby Chinn (restaurant)
Bobby Chinn is a restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam, situated near the perimeter of the Old Quarter, overlooking Hoàn Kiếm Lake. It is run by American chef Bobby Chinn.[1] It serves a mixture of Californian, French, and Vietnamese cuisine, as well as a variety of international tapas-style dishes.
Description
[edit | edit source]Chinn had previously run several restaurants in Vietnam following his training in France, and his work in California.[2] He opened his self-titled restaurant in 2000 near the Hoàn Kiếm Lake,[3] but following increases in rent, it was moved to the Tây Hồ district of Hanoi.[4] The interior of the restaurant features artwork from Chinn's private collection, and is divided into two dining rooms and a lounge.[2] A further branch of the restaurant is in Ho Chi Minh City.[5]
Menu
[edit | edit source]Reflective of the city's "increasingly cosmopolitan tastes",[5] the restaurant serves Californian, French, and Vietnamese cuisine.[6] This includes Chinn's variations on traditional Vietnamese cuisine, using the influences from his training in France. These include spring rolls filled with filet mignon,[2] as well as crab cakes with a tamarind glaze on chive flowers. There is also a variety of internationally influenced tapas-style dishes, such as a Moroccan-style braised squid.[2] One of the most well-known dishes is green-tea smoked duck, served with wasabi mashed potato.[4]
Reception
[edit | edit source]In 2010, the Vietnam Investment Review ranked Restaurant Bobby Chinn as the fifth best restaurant in Hanoi.[7] In 2014, it was ranked as the 60th best restaurant worldwide by US website The Daily Meal.[8]
