Mediterranean cuisine at Kalí restaurant by West Lake

Translated by Bing
Located close to West Lake, Kalí is a beautiful small restaurant that brings a unique Mediterranean cuisine flavor to diners in the capital.

Kalí Restaurant was founded by chefs Thomas Etievant and Marco Yanes from Milan, Italy. The name Kali is derived from the Greek word Kalimera which means instead of greeting, showing a part of friendliness and comfort or also the style that this place is aiming for. Located in a prime location by the windy West Lake, entering here is like stepping into a fresh, airy space with a super wide view - something that is difficult to find in the central areas of the capital. 


Kalí offers a novel menu that combines the quintessence of street food from the Mediterranean region, including the Middle East, Greece and parts of France. The characteristic of these dishes lies in the use of many herbs with a characteristic aroma, plus the colorful ingredients and spices that create an explosion not only in taste but also in a strong sensory impression for diners. 


The dishes at Kalí are made 100% by the restaurant's own chef. You can find here familiar snacks such as French fries refreshed with unique delicious marinades such as Aioli cream dressing, or Greek salads featuring lettuce, tomato, red onion, feta cheese and black olives. Besides, there are delicious main dishes with names inspired by famous figures in Greek history, such as Plato's dish with Greek marinated chicken, pickled cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and paprika yogurt sauce. 


If you come here with two or more people, you should try to order items in the Mix Plates section of the menu with extremely full and nutritious combos, which will definitely make you leave in a comfortable and full state. Finally, Kalí's dessert is a pita cake filled with banana nutella with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and caramel butter sauce - an impressive combination of a variety of favorite ingredients for sweet tooths. In particular, Kalí's menu also has vegetarian dishes that are suitable for many diners who are maintaining this diet


In addition to the main meal dishes, Kalí also serves afternoon meals for diners who stop by. Still familiar flavors of the Mediterranean region such as Hummus sauce or Pita bread combined with many other typical dishes along with accompanying drinks, this choice is loved by many people. Sipping delicious food while chatting with friends and waiting for the sunset of West Lake from afar will definitely be an experience that everyone loves.


The beverage menu at Kalí is also extremely diverse with cocktails, mocktails, fruit juices, beer, coffee,... to meet all enjoyment needs. The restaurant also provides wine so diners can enjoy the same dinner. Therefore, you can feel free to stop by here to enjoy a drink at any time of the day instead of having to come to eat. 


Prices in Kalí compared to European food are very reasonable, averaging only 40,000 to 100,000 for a full dish. If you want to try many dishes, you can choose a combo that combines dishes with friends at a price of only about 150,000 VND/person.


Thanks to its prime location next to West Lake, Kalí has a beautiful and extremely airy view. Although the façade of the restaurant is small and pretty, the inside of Kalí is quite airy and comfortable, with a courtyard for guests to dine in a space close to nature instead of sitting in cramped rooms. Every summer afternoon, diners can also enjoy the colors of the sunset brightly coloring the sky, covering each table to create extremely poetic shades. On the other hand, the restaurant is decorated in cool blue tones, thanks to which Mediterranean echoes spread throughout the space. That's enough for anyone who comes here to feel the liberality, youthfulness and freshness that the founders want to convey. 


In addition to catering, Kalí also regularly organizes small entertainment events to connect diners and provide a fun social space that anyone is welcome. So, if you still don't have plans for the weekend, try to Kalí to enjoy a variety of delicious dishes and immerse yourself in the vibrant and youthful atmosphere of this place!
