Xofa Cafe & Bistro

$$ · ModerateLeashed only

A leafy French-Vietnamese bistro and cafe near the Old Quarter famous for its Xofa mille crepe, egg coffee and all-day breakfast under a big shady tree. Its relaxed outdoor seating welcomes well-behaved dogs.

Why it made the list

A Hanoi institution with al-fresco tables under a tree where your dog is a natural part of the scene - and it never closes.

Good to know before you go

Open 24 hours; dogs are allowed at the outdoor seating, per listings that flag it as dog-friendly with outdoor tables. Indoor air-conditioned areas are at the owner's discretion, so keep your dog leashed and outside.

Practical notes

  • Order the Xofa Mille Crepe
  • Late evenings are the calmest for dogs

House rules and verification

The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: the official page blocked our automated re-check on 31 October 2026, so this listing was last confirmed earlier. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
