The festival was first held in 2005 to promote and advertise the diversity of European culture through special dishes, and strengthen co-operative ties and exchanges between Europe and Vietnam.

This year’s festival will include many famous restaurants and hotels in Hanoi. Guests will have a chance to enjoy a variety of dishes and entertainment such as magic, a concert and a lottery to win two free tickets to visit Europe or a two-night stay at the Hanoi Opera Hilton.
