Many years ago the original Hanoi Hanoi Vietnamese restaurant at 101 Capel Street was by a country mile my favourite restaurant and I visited on a regular basis even though is eventually morphed into a Hong Kong Chinese restaurant.
Soon after a major revamp in 2019 it closed because of Covid-19 restrictions. Recently it reopened has HA NOI - HA NOI and once again it is genuine Vietnamese restaurant and it is excellent but for various reasons I have only been able to visit a few times since the reopening.
I am not sure if this road is in Rathmines or Rathgar. However, my mother and grandmother considered it to be Rathgar, maybe because my grand-aunt lived in the area.
