We discovered Gecko Restaurant a couple of years ago, on the last night of a four-week trip through Cambodia and Vietnam. Their great pizzas were just what we were looking for, after a long period of Asian meals. On our arrival in Hanoi this time, I was determined to find that great little cafe again. Well, we found a bunch... More

we had good vietnamese food in Gecko. Fair prices for food and beer :-) don't miss the local fish and spring rolls. They have a few branches, always good for a stop. They have international food as well, but we did not try since Vietnamese food is light and delicious! They offer cooking classes as well. More

The Gecko Cafe was very close to the hotel we were staying in and we thought we'll try it. And were we impressed! It has a wide range of food, Western as well as Vietnamese. We've tried several Vietnamese dishes on our 3 visits and they were all delicious. We loved the fresh spring rolls! They had free Tiger beer... More

We ate here a few times and enjoyed pizza, some seafood dishes, and crepe desserts. The WC was not too clean and in the kitchen area, which also looked well below western standards. However, we found all food very good, staff friendly, and music enjoyable. A good place for a "breather" from the hectic streets of Hanoi. More

I found this restaurant just before I left Hanoi and really appreciated some western food at a fair price. The menu is extensive for such a small place, the beer was cold and just when I thought it could not get any better- country western music! I appreciate it that I could just sit down and be familiar with the... More

We were tired of spring rolls and noodles so fell upon the Gecko and had the most delicous pesto pasta there. More

Amazing service, superb food. Was better value than several restaurants we looked at but still in normal Hanoi range. After traveling from Saigon up through the country we were surprised at how expensive Hanoi is. This was great value. Plus it was entertaining reading past diners' comments under the glass table tops. Their 'specials' are not really specials as they... More
