Why go
La Bête is about dry-aging. Its own Instagram bio says the house is "all about dry-aged", and the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs reported in 2021 that it dry-ages beef and pork with Himalayan salt, in a controlled environment, for 28 days. It does not stop at beef: in April 2025 The Dot Magazine listed, depending on the day, a 14-day dry-aged hamachi with smoked Norwegian salmon and a 35-day dry-aged wild boar. VinWonders calls it a fusion steakhouse and cigar lounge. The name is French for "the beast", and the dining room has paintings of cows on the walls.

Breed, origin, grade and feed are not published, and no source gives a weight or a price per cut. The longer and shorter numbers in the press, 35 and 14 days, belong to wild boar and to fish. The number to know: 28 days.
03The story
The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, a gastronomic society, held a five-course dinner for 20 around dry-aged meats at La Bête in 2021, with wines from The Warehouse Hanoi. On Jan. 10, 2023 its newly formed Hanoi chapter celebrated Tết at the house, in the West Lake district: 21 members and guests, dry-aged beef, modern Vietnamese dishes and a wine pairing, with a Portuguese white and a morel mushroom soup on the published menu. The Dot Magazine included it in an April 2025 Hanoi guide. The opening year is not stated in any source found.
