The Backstage Experience

At Backstage, the drama of grand opera meets the refined art of Northern Vietnamese cooking. Located within Capella Hanoi, the restaurant’s name sets the tone: vibrant murals and costumes inspired by the world’s greatest operatic performances create a mise-en-scène that is both theatrical and intimate. The all-day dining room welcomes guests for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a smart casual dress code and a wine list that complements the bold flavours.
