Metropole Hanoi’s angelina Cocktail Bar, Whisky Lounge and Restaurant Reopens

The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi has reopened the doors to angelina bar, lounge and restaurant following a complete renovation.

Angelina now features a brand new concept, a new chef as well as a completely different menu.

Designed by Karen Hay of the Hong Kong-based interior design studio, In-dulge, the redesign and total renovation heralds a new dawn for angelina.

The two-storey space, which boasts an eight-meter high floor-to-ceiling bar and seats up to 120 guests, features soothing hints of gold, mustard, maroon and dusty blue.

On the ground-level, the elegant wood and leather bar makes a grand statement, while, a separate whisky lounge, complete with velvet wingback chairs and a roaring fireplace, lies tucked behind a charcoal curtain.

On the second floor, guests are encouraged to feast in the privacy of an intimate dining area, while the open-plan design offers a stunning ambience and a clear view of the elegant bar below.

Aurélien Houguet, angelina’s new Head Chef, who earned his chef stripes at many distinguished establishments including the five-star Ashford Castle in Ireland, has created a new menu for the kitchen, which will serve lunch and dinner as well as a selection of bar menu items after 10pm.

Highlights from the seasonal menu include a playful twist on classic European and new world dishes, such as lobster rolls with caviar, wagyu tomahawk, Arctic snow fish, king crab, roast Welsh lamb pie, and Wagyu beef burgers topped with cheddar cheese and black truffle.

“The refurbishment of the angelina bar, lounge and restaurant has brought it up to date, with a fresh, modern design that’s still in-keeping with the luxurious and historic grandeur of the rest of the hotel,” said the General Manager of the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, William J. Haandrikman. “The new look of the bar, lounge and restaurant perfectly complements the exciting menus being created by Chef Houguet, which put a fresh interpretation on classic European and New World dishes.”
