[2025 Hanoi Restaurant] Travel Guide for Maison Marou (Updated Apr)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Returning to #Vietnam after 10 years 🇻🇳 I went to the south ten years ago, and this time I went to #NorthVietnam and #CentralVietnam, Crossing the road still requires some courage. Cafes are still everywhere. Tourists are sitting on the roadside drinking the famous #eggcoffee, It seems that Vietnam has not changed much in the past ten years. I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I walked around for a while. 🎒Hoa Lo Prison #Hoa Lo Prison Regarding the abuse of political prisoners in Vietnam during the French colonial period, I thought the atmosphere would be scary. After all, the torture instruments and cells inside were real ones that had been used before, and even the guillotine that had been used three times was on display. But there are so many tourists in the whole museum, so it doesn’t feel deep at all. 🎒Maison Marou #ChocolateFlagshipStore All the cocoa in the store is produced locally in Vietnam. The price is a little expensive, but the chocolate is really delicious. Highly recommend the chocolate milkshake! #ChocolateControl A rare quiet cafe in the bustling city 🍫 This chain store also has a location in #Hoi An Ancient Town! #Hanoi #Hanoi Attractions #Maisonmarou #Free Travel #Travel #cafehopping

When you go to Hanoi, you will find that Maison Marou's chocolate 🍫 is sold in many places. The price is not cheap in Vietnam. It turns out that this brand is a local Vietnamese brand, and it even has its own factory and dessert shop. 🫘There is a cocoa and chocolate specialty area in the store, where you can taste them. The other dessert shop is located opposite the factory, where you can taste cocoa while learning about the production process. This time we ordered Tiramisu and Pain d epices (orange flavor), and the drinks were the signature Marou with chili&cinnamon. 🍰Tiramisu is highly recommended. It is different from ordinary Tiramisu. It has a stronger cocoa flavor but does not steal the taste of the coffee liquor. The orange and cocoa flavors of Pain d epices are not prominent enough, and the overall taste is relatively light, which is suitable for people who don’t like sweets, but I prefer the strong taste. ☕️The signature Marou is a must-try, it has just the right sweetness and bitterness, and you can taste the original flavor of cocoa. Chili&cinnamon are both very delicious, the chili ratio is quite special! #Hanoi #Vietnam #cafe #cocoa #chocolate #tiramisu #marou

If you are tired from visiting the sights in downtown Hanoi, you can take a break here. This chocolate cafe is located next to Foglu Prison and Hoan Kiem Lake, about 5-10 minutes' walk away. There are many different flavors of chocolate available for tasting on site. In addition to tasting high-end chocolate, there are also ice cream, coffee, cakes and desserts...etc. Sit and chat here and learn about Vietnamese culture. This chocolate cafe is highly recommended. #local游
