Hanoi is the culinary capital of Vietnam, where food is prepared with subtle sophistication and deep respect for tradition. The northern Vietnamese palate favors savory, balanced flavors with less sugar and spice than the south.
The city is birthplace of Pho, and nowhere else will you taste it quite as perfect - delicate broth simmered for hours, tender beef or chicken, fresh herbs, and silky rice noodles. Must-try dishes include Bun Cha (grilled pork with noodles, made famous by Obama's visit), Banh Cuon (steamed rice rolls), and Cha Ca (turmeric fish with dill).
The Old Quarter offers legendary street food stalls, many family-run for generations. Sit on tiny plastic stools alongside locals for the most authentic experience. Egg coffee (Ca Phe Trung) - a Hanoi invention - is not to be missed, served in hidden cafes throughout the Old Quarter.
From boutique hotels in historic buildings to beachfront resorts and traditional homestays, we help you find the perfect accommodation for your style.
