La Terrasse is a cafe in Hanoi's French Quarter run by the Sofitel Metropole Hotel. It serves French food and Western drinks, including coffee, cocktails, and champagne. The outdoor terrace seating is comfortable, and on weekends the surrounding road closes to vehicles, so many guests stay to watch people pass by. Service is slow, with drinks taking 25 to 30 minutes and payment taking up to 20 minutes after the bill arrives.
