We went to Gau in the old area of Hanoi, three times, on our way to and from the lake and St Joseph's cathedral.
Once we had the chocolates which we didn't like.
Once we had croissant.
And once we had hot panettone. Panettone is the Italian come shape sweet cake bread,originally from Milan according to Wikipedia, also popular in European neighbour Spain and over in Venezuela, especially at Christmas in Italian restaurants and Italian cafes in London, England, and Tesco supermarket in the UK.
Only a couple of tables for two are downstairs. There's more seating upstairs, and out on the balcony.
The kitchen is upstairs, which happens so often in Hanoi at restaurants and coffee bars. The ground floor is needed for the shop and seating.
Singapore has a cat cafe, two cat caffes. In Hanoi, Gau has a cat-size little dog. In December the dog is wearing a coat. A dear little dog. The dog's name is Cappucino.
Don't call out the dog's name or you may find you have ordered another drink.
