The end of the year in Hanoi carries a feeling all its own. The streets grow busier, invitations come more often, and people find reasons to meet – a year-end dinner, a family gathering, or simply sitting down with friends after a long year. In the middle of that rhythm, not everyone is looking for a loud celebration. Many are simply searching for a place that feels calm enough, warm enough, for conversations to unfold naturally.
At Maison 1929, year-end gatherings are kept in that spirit. Tucked away at the corner of Cua Dong and Hang Ga streets, inside a French-style heritage house built in the 1920s – 1930s, Maison is a year-end dining destination in Hanoi’s Old Quarter for those who wish to step away from the bustle outside. Once you walk through the door, the Old Quarter remains just beyond – but the evening slows down, the connection becomes more discreet.
A flexible space for intimate year-end gatherings
Maison 1929 offers nearly 50 seats, with both indoor and outdoor areas designed to adapt to different needs. Quiet corners for couples, tables for groups of four to six, and private rooms for families or small corporate gatherings are all arranged so that each occasion feels comfortable and unforced.
This is why Maison is often chosen for intimate year-end parties, small company dinners, or family reunions. The space feels close enough for conversation, yet private enough to remain undisturbed – allowing connections to feel more meaningful.
Revisiting the year over a shared table
For a year-end meal, food should not only be tasty, but also easy to share. At Maison 1929, the cuisine is built around familiarity and warmth, with thoughtful attention to detail.
Starters such as mango salad with prawns, pomelo salad with dried shrimp, banana blossom salad, Hanoi-style spring rolls, or crab spring rolls are ideal for opening the table. Dishes arrive ready to be shared, tasted together, and naturally spark conversation.
For main courses, Maison 1929 serves Vietnamese classics that are approachable and widely loved: caramelised fish in claypot, steamed pork with caramel sauce, Southern Vietnam Bun Bo Hue, sautéed duck with basil and peanuts, slow-cooked pork ribs, or stuffed squid. These dishes are full-flavoured yet not heavy, well suited for a long, lingering dinner.
Desserts – from traditional sweet soups to delicately made cakes – offer a gentle closing note, allowing guests to stay seated just a little longer, letting the conversation continue.
Not only for the year-end, but for every meaningful occasion
While the festive season and Christmas bring the most gatherings, Maison 1929 is not reserved only for the end of the year. Many guests come here for family birthdays, small group dinners, dates, or intimate business meetings throughout the year.
For each occasion, we are happy to suggest table arrangements and menus that suit – whether for solo diners, couples, or small groups. Every gathering is cared for with the same attention, because for us, what matters most is that guests feel at ease – enjoying a sense of quiet refinement while still holding on to the warmth so characteristic of Hanoi.
Maison 1929 – a restaurant, and a home
In the ever-moving Old Quarter, Maison 1929 keeps its own rhythm: calm, warm, and flexible enough for year-end dinners, small gatherings, or family occasions. No need for extravagance or noise – just a table that feels right, where year-end moments can unfold fully. We believe that a shared meal remains one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to reconnect and warm relationships.
If you are planning a small gathering, a family dinner, or a year-end celebration in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, we would be delighted to welcome you.
