Italian-themed buffet at Layered – 21st floor, L7 Westlake Hanoi Hotel by Lotte

#summervacay 🇮🇹 Italian-themed buffet at Layered – 21st floor, L7 Westlake Hanoi Hotel by Lotte 📍139 Vo Chi Cong, Tay Ho, Hanoi As an Italian food lover, I was quite surprised when I accidentally discovered that Layered has a themed buffet every day. The first impression is the space: located on the 21st floor, so the view is extremely airy, overlooking the whole city. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the light is soft, and quiet, creating a relaxing feeling for a gentle evening. 🌟 About the food: The menu is not as extensive as traditional buffets, but the big plus is that every dish is delicious, authentic, and carefully prepared like an A La Carte dish in an Italian restaurant. • 🥩 Steak: There are both dishes served at the table and steak on the buffet line. The meat is soft, fragrant, and even when cold, it still retains its delicious taste - which is quite rare. • 🦐 Grilled seafood: Including scallops, shrimp, mussels... grilled just right, keeping the sweetness, not dry. Scallops are the highlight, lightly buttery, juicy. • 🍝 Italian dishes: • Thin crust pizza, moderate filling, true Italian style. • Spaghetti is not too impressive. • In return, there is meatball with rich tomato sauce, fragrant with herbs. • Tomato soup is also delicious, very suitable with toasted bread. • 🥓 Korean food corner: There is grilled pork belly, many types of kimchi and a pot of white rice - the standard Korean style of eating rice with grilled food, creating a very everyday feeling. • 🍣 Sushi: Full of types from maki to nigiri, although not too special but a light choice to change the taste. • 🥗 Salad: Mediterranean style - lots of greens, olives, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, light sour sauce - very balanced taste. • 🍰 Dessert: Mousse, tart, ice cream, sweet soup... beautifully presented, moderate taste, not too sweet. This part is really worth trying. I also drank a bottle of wine - light, easy to drink, making the overall dinner more complete. 💁♀️ About the service: The staff is pleasant, understanding of the guests, serving dishes at the table politely, delicately, and quickly. 💰 Price: 799,000++/person - with the overall experience from food, space to service, I find it completely reasonable. ✨ Conclusion: If you love Italian food and want to find a private, gentle space, with properly invested food and quality service - Layered 7 Westlake is worth a try. I will definitely come back for the French-themed buffet or seafood on weekends.
