Packages for expats,

another craft beer pub, Tex-Mex

cuisine and, you guessed

it, TV dinners. What’s new in

Hanoi

CortoCorto is the closest West Lake is going to get to a beach bar. An outdoor venue with lakeside lounge chairs, it’s great for some after work chill and adorable dates. Cocktails are on the cheap side, with a basil cucumber gimlet going for only VND65,000, and pizza and tarts cost from VND60,000 to VND150,000.

Wednesday is ladies’ night, with two-for-one margaritas, and drinks are 30% off every night from 5.30 to 7.30. Saturday nights feature live music by the lake, and plans are in the works to open during the day soon.

Corto is at 162 Tu Hoa, Tay Ho, Hanoi

Anita’s CantinaTacos have come to Quang Ba courtesy of Javier Rodriguez who has just opened Anita’s Cantina, serv-ing pork, beef, and potato tacos for VND20,000, burritos for VND110,000, and margaritas for VND80,000.

Hand-made tortillas and an assortment of salsas on every table makes this a proper Tex-Mex joint. There is one downside, though — it’s only open on the weekends, so get your tacos while you can.

Anita’s Cantina is at 86 Quang Ba, Tay Ho, Hanoi

Unicorn StationeryThe only dedicated stationery and art supply shop in West Lake has just opened on Xuan Dieu — no longer do the teachers of Tay Ho have to drive to Ba Dinh to get their sticky balls!

Stocked with acrylic paint by Martha Stewart, notebooks of all shapes and sizes, sharpie sets, colored pencils, and more, prices range from VND50,000 to VND500,000, and they are open 9am to 6pm every day.

Unicorn is at 2B, Lane 40, Xuan Dieu, Tay Ho, Hanoi

Brunch is served all day long, with a full English breakfast (VND130,000), sausage rolls (VND50,000), and pies (VND95,000). ‘TV Dinners’ are avail-able to eat-in or takeaway on those nights when you just can’t cook: choose a main, like chicken cordon bleu or eggplant parmigiana, and two sides for VND160,000.

The deli is vegetarian friendly, offers free delivery on orders over VND150,000, and is open from 7am to 9pm, Tuesday through Sunday.

Standing BarBoasting a 16-tap Vietnamese craft ale selection and a daily rotating menu of tapas and small plates, Standing Bar is what it says: standing room only, on the �rst �oor at least.

Upstairs, relax on sofas in the indoor lounge or at high tables on the spacious terrace with sunset views over Truc Bach Lake. Beers range from VND50,000 to VND100,000, and can be sipped Tuesday through Sunday from 4pm to midnight.
