Fanny's Ice Cream Parlour: A Sweet Experience at Hoan Kiem Lake

    Try to Peach Melba
    Icecream at Fanny!
    by sailor_p
    Highly recommended by fellow VTers and the Lonely Planet Guide, I decided to explore this place on my own, after a day walk in the city. This ice-cream parlour is not hard to find as it is strategically located along the main road, facing the Hoan Kiem Lake. It is a medium-sized one storey shop that welcomes visitors for a rest after a tiring day. I was told that it has branches in HCMC and Haiphong though I didn't managed to visit it while I was in HCMC. However, the main shop is still the one in Hanoi.

    Because of its founder and background, the ice-cream produced here is more geared towards French style. The ice-cream is rich and the presentation is interesting. This is worth visiting in the evenings!

    I ordered the peach melba (if I got the spelling correct). As I prefer coconut flavour, the staff is very willing to swap the original flavour (vanilla) to what I like. Overall, the ice-cream is of good quality. Personally, I still prefer the ice-cream I have at Kem Bach Dang at HCMC (prefer to my restaurant tips for Ho Chi Minh City).

    You know I love debunking Lonely Planet's recommendation all the time right ? Well, I can't this time. They were right. Fanny's ice cream is the absolute best. The last time I tried ice cream this good, I was in France, gorging on pistacho ice cream in Giverny.Well, you can have French ice cream here for half the price. Really! 4 scoops of ice cream here cost about 2.8euros. But at this price, you won't find many locals rushing to this joint. This place is filled only with greedy tourists like myself. One more thing, don't underestimate the power of one tiny scoop of ice cream. It's power-packed with flavour like the ones found in France.

    Everything is delicious over here but the cinammon ice cream over here has to be the best! This, followed by the coffee ice cream. Pistache is so-so as was the chocolat.

  • Fanny's is the place to be for ice cream aficionados! They've got a selection of some 60 or so sorts of ice cream and most of them are really good. Sometimes, seasonal fruit ice cream can also be tried. Fanny's is a modern place just next to Ho Hoan Kiem in the centre of Hanoi. The ice cream is very good, however, the service is sometimes a bit slow. Prices range from 5000 VND to 15000 VND (=0,3 to 1$).

    You should try cinnamon, rum raisins, and passion fruit! For the "slightly other" experience, try durian...
    But don't tell me, I haven't warned you!

    So i'd read about Fanny's ice cream parlour before i'd left for Hanoi and one day while walking around Hoan Kiem Lake i decided with the temperature at about 32C and it being (for me coming from chilly N.Ireland) pretty humid to go try some ice cream.
    The first thing i tried was what they termed Baileys, indulgence in a glass. It consisted of; 1 scoop vanilla, 1 scoop chocolate, whipped cream and baileys. Priced at 43,000 VND.
    So after the first, i of coarse had to try another which was this; Peach Melba. Vanilla ice cream, peach in syrup topped with fruits and whipped cream. Priced at 43,000 VND.
    I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who enjoys ice cream. Nice interior with friendly staff.

    Upon my third visit to Hanoi i discovered they also do crepes! I had a crepe with chocolate sauce. The crepe was quite nice, although personally there was too much chocolate sauce!

    My favourite was the Baileys, Indulgence in a glass.

    Fanny's Ice-Cream Parlour - recommended by Lonely Planet. Worth the visit after a long and tiring walk around the city that is bustling with motorcycles and the honking noises. This cafe is located within walking distance from Ho Kiem Lake.

    Maple vanilla flavour's my favourite

    Don't order anything else, stick to ice-cream! After all, you're in a French Ice-Cream Parlour!

    I just enjoyed the variety of ice-creams offered. Even though I'm in Hanoi, I felt like I was in Paris.

    It's not the cheapest ice cream you'll find in Hanoi. One tiny scoop is around 10,000 dong (65 cents). You can find ice cream for as little as 2,000 dong (12 cents) in other places. Personally, I'd have to say Fanny's is more suited to western taste.

    They have lots of interesting flavors. Just don't get green tea. It tastes way too much like green tea! Strange.

  • We just grabbed a couple of ice-cream cones to go as we wanted to chill by the lake. The chocolate ice-cream was pretty good and cost just 10,000 dong each.

    I see Fanny ice cream came back with a new image, younger, nicer and more interesting. The location is in the center of Hanoi..that's great. The ice cream is really rich with more than 30 flavours and the Fanny's slogan is "100% natural ice cream".
