Hanoi's Old Quarter can get a little tiring with all noise, horns, sellers, traffic......! So it's always nice to find a place to chill out and relax with a coffee and something tastey to eat.
Located in the heart of the Old Quarter and on the 1st floor away from the traffic, is Culi Cafe. With plenty of space and comfy lounges to laze about on, it's a great spot to eat, drink, read and generally enjoy some quietness! Culi also offers free Wi Fi for all, so bring the laptop.
The cafe is Western Managed and owned, it is also the booking office for Wide Eyed Tours where you can book tours, tickets and get "Free honest tourist info".
On the menu you find mainly western food, with limited Vietnamese choices. For those hunting for a hearty breakfast, try the "Big Breakie" which includes bacon, eggs, sausage, baked beans, hash brown, tomatoes and toast! They also do a great fruit salad with yogart or honey!
If your looking a lunch/dinner, you have a choice of pizza's, burgers, fish & chips, bangers and mash, sandwhiches, salad and much more.
Thickshakes, smoothies, Italian Coffee, ice cold beer and cocktails "that will knock you over" (their words!) are available.
Culi Cafe also sell a funky range of Propaganda T-Shirts and posters.
Open from 8am - 11pm, Culi is a great find, under the cafe on the ground floor (at the entrance) is a laundry mat, so you can have your washing done (from 50,000vnd per load), enjoy a burger and sip on a cocktail!
Does it get any better......................!
