JW Café

JW Marriott Hanoi has consistently been my preferred dining destination. Recently, I had the pleasure of indulging in their Afternoon Tea, which was specially curated to commemorate Vietnamese Women's Day in October. The menu was tailored to cater to those with a sweet tooth, although I personally found it to be excessively saccharine. I have a penchant for savory cakes. My all-time favorite tea variant is Earl Grey. It is noteworthy that the establishment now serves tea at the table, utilizing a pour-over technique akin to that of coffee.

Located by the picturesque lake, the JW Cafe is the buffet restaurant of the JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi.

Breakfast has plentiful of options including Korean, Japanese, Malaysian, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese and the usual western offerings. Do try the local Vietnamese coffee with ice and condensed milk.

I spent a beautiful weekend afternoon at JW cafe.

Lake-view space - luxury service - .
JW Cafe arranges seating areas with distance. So it is quite pleasant and comfortable for me and partner to talk about business.

This location is a very good choice!

JW Cafe is located in the luxurious JW Marriott Hotel. The cafe is located overlooking a beautiful lake and lush gardens. A real respite in the bustling city of Hanoi. The restaurant is very large and has food from all over the world. We were there for the breakfast buffet. And were in for a real treat. The service is top notch, for a buffet. The cafe was spotless and with plenty of friendly staff making sure you were nt kept waiting for anything. The local food was a delight, as was the live egg sections. The bakery and juice bar were very good too. And they had an Indian section as well.

Went for Sunday Brunch, Good Selection at the Cold Seafood Section, the steamed seafood were not replaced fast enough. There is a kids section that you can dine at while watching over kids. English speaking is lacking here, staff seemed to be more fluent in Korean. Good service from a Korean male staff.

Went for Sunday Brunch. 12pm to 2.30pm. I felt 2.5 hours a little short, should be 3 hours. At about 1.45pm when I wanted to order foie gras, waiter said counter closed/ foie gras no more and if I can wait for 30 minutes I said OK (can wait) but think misunderstanding he thought I said it is OK (I don't need) so end up I didn't get my foie gras.

Food taste good especially foie gras and tarts (mango tart, chocolate tart). It is expensive at VNF1,950,000++ per person.

Outstanding seafood buffet at JW Marriott. It won't come cheap but quality is delivered. Amazing seafood selection, lots of live stations, well trained and attentive staff. Look no further if you look for the best buffet in town. 2 thumbs up !

We had Sunday brunch buffet here and added wine buffet as well. There were so many types of seafood, and they were very fresh. I loved the variety of food, and how tasty they were. A few of lobsters were a bit tough for me, but I think that's just my personal taste. Definitely have the king crab legs 😋
Wine was great, and we tried sparkling, pinot gris, and two types of red wine. They were all very good and easy to drink which was dangerous for 12pm haha...
It was great experience, and I would recommend! Also, make sure you have marriott bonvoy account to get a discount, and pay with the card that has the same name as the bonvoy account (I didn't bring my card, so I couldn't get the discount :( )

Amazing restaurant! The food is quite spendy but well worth every dong. The service is amazing - Hue was the best waitress we could have asked for. She was extremely attentive, kind, and willing to help with anything. The restaurant also worked with me to plan a surprise for my girlfriend’s birthday! If you’re in the area or you’re staying at the hotel, this is a must! The only advice I would have is better lighting - the restaurant felt a bit dark. Great place!

Super kind staff and great foods and drinks.

I had dinner here for my anniversary with my wife and kids. I was very satisfied with food and theri service.

For food, there is no denying that JW is one of the best in Hanoi. I had breakfast buffet quite many times when I stayed for business trips. I enjoyed breakfast buffet in JW. But this time, I was impressed with dinner buffets. There were various kinds of dishes with good quality. Of course, it cannot compare to 5 stars hotel buffet in Korea. But, considering price, it was quaite amazing. Very good for price. Especially, I was quited enjoyed with fresh oysters, which difficult to see in VN.

Adding to it,
They prepared a small cake for our anniversary. It was very moving.

Reaturant is by lake side view. If you take buffet, variety of cuisines are available.

A truly 5 star service. The staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming. There is a very wide selection of food available all day everyday. The staff found out my family and I were staying at the hotel to celebrate my birthday, so they offered us a lakeside table everyday and even gifted me a cake which was delicious. Trang in particular is extremely friendly and helpful, she often went above and beyond to help us carry heavy dishes back to our table and helped us refill our drinks. She also took the time to explain the local dishes to us and offered good recommendations about sights in Hanoi. Would absolutely recommend the JW cafe for anyone looking for a relaxing premium meal.

Had dinner at this wonderful setting during TET. Me & my friend had a wonderful experience in terms of food, service & ambience. Would highly recommend

Good spread. Excellent service. Left my shopping bag there and they knew my name when I got back to get the bag. JW Marriot at its best.

Nice food. Nice view. But a bit expensive. About $50 for lunch buffet. Not good service as expected.

Aesthetic and classy. The buffet selection is also comprehensive and the food yummy. The pond outside and the bridge is a relaxing view. Worth the visit.

Love the place, fancy restaurant with great service.

WOW!!! Wide Breakfast selection. Vietnamese coffee is amazing. Staff are attentive. Paradise!!!

Great experience ! People who works there are very helpful and passionate! Despite customers breaking all the glass on the floor they smiled and cleaned everything very professional! And very clean highly recommended!
