The story
Le Beaulieu, the "Grand Dame of 1901" within the Sofitel Legend Metropole, has undergone a striking transformation. Its palette of white, gold, and heathery blue-grays melds opulent, classical, and modern elements into a single cohesive space. The restaurant ties together the hotel's over 120-year history with fresh sophistication.
Le Beaulieu has been honoured with inclusion in the prestigious MICHELIN Selected List for 2024 and 2025, a testament to its gastronomic excellence. The kitchen delivers contemporary French haute cuisine with an innovative chef-driven perspective that remains rooted in traditional French flavours, focusing on seasonality and sophistication.
Born and raised in Marseille, Chef Charles Degrendele developed an early passion for food that took him from the serene countryside of Provence to Michelin-starred kitchens and the vibrant streets of Tokyo. His culinary philosophy centres on respecting ingredients and showcasing their true essence. At Le Beaulieu, he brings a sustainable, innovative, and simple approach to modern French cuisine.
Le Beaulieu is also a destination for wine connoisseurs, boasting more than 600 references and over 100 Grand Cru Classés from leading chateaux. The restaurant is recommended by Star Wine List, the guide to great wine bars and restaurants in Hanoi.
Each Sunday, Le Beaulieu presents a sumptuous buffet featuring fresh seafood on ice, foie gras, lobster bisque, Serrano ham, decadent desserts, and exquisitely prepared à la minute main courses. It’s a celebration of French culinary artistry in an elegant setting.
