So good and flavorful. Loved both "soup" and "dry" versions and both types of noodles. Smoothies were yummy too.
Amazing banh mi at 30,000d/each. Tastes really good and very generous portion. Worth walking in the rain for.
An order comes with two fried eggs, assorted meats, a pillowy baguette, pate, and butter. Delish.
Definitely recommend checking out this odd, well-preserved Vietnamese time capsule.
Corner stall that sells bananas wrapped in fried sticky rice with coconut sauce. Not as sweet as you'd expect.
Another Cha Ca (fish stew) place next to Bun Cha Ca, and also good.
You should go in the afternoon to avoid the crazily hot weather in the Central. Moreover, you can have a magnificent view of the city at night.
Climb to the top to see the view with farms on one side and Danang's rapidly developing downtown on the other. The wind on top is a very breezy and relaxing treat on a hot day!
My quang, duh! They may try to put beef spring rolls on your table. Do not resist, they are delicious.
We liked the mi quanq (udon noodles with peanuts) and the DIY spring rolls with grilled chicken/pork and rice crepe/crispy rice cracker. We ordered by pointing at photos from Foursquare :)
This place is my JAM! Came here three times in six days and got everything. Fav is the tiny white balls filled with caramel bits. Closed at night.
Lots of ladies will try to sell you fried donut things, and they're honestly pretty good. Get one of each and ask for a deal :P
Open since the 80s. Second-floor coffee shop by the lake with good local vibes. Get an egg coffee.
If you go to one museum in Hanoi, go to this one. Oddly conceptual and very elaborate.
Loved the rolled pho, deep fried pho with beef and onions, and slightly sweet fried corn.
Great spot for mini baguettes filled with butter, pate, or both. Good little desserts too. Open morning and night.
Awesome park for late afternoon/early evening strolling and people watching. 4k entrance fee.
Ask for a menu and you can point to the toppings you want. Lap seong and chicken make a good combo, plus the various porks/pate with egg. Wash it down with soy milk!
Would recommend booking a tour i advance rather than trying to secure a spot on the day - especially if in a large group
Vietnamese clam chowder? Chao Trai, rice porridge with oysters, crispy fried shallots, and fried bread. Hitting the spot on this slightly chilly Hanoi evening.
Traditional Banh My Pate for 25,000 dong! Probably one of the best places in the area. Super popular with locals.
Come here for "beer can chicken" a whole small chicken, stuffed with herbs and steamed inside a beer can. Make sure to drink the broth!
Enjoyed the lemongrass pork. Could skip the spring rolls and save room for other stalls nearby.
A nice local beer spot away from the old quarter tourist crowds. A light beer brewed in Hanoi that day and good for 24hrs.
Very delicious dry noodle with chicken. Sitting on the pavement. Sometimes it's very crowded. Open from 6PM
One of the oldest coffee spots in Hanoi. Delicious coffee, good vibes. Tons of great walking/street food in this area, too.
Intimate traditional Vietnamese folk singing performance + tea service. Wed/Fri/Sun at 8pm, $10. Can buy tix at the door before the show. We enjoyed it :)
WOAH this was good! "banh duc nong" is gloopy goodness with meat and fried tofu pillows. "banh da tron thap cam" is brown dry noodles with fried fish, meet, egg, tofu, crispy fried shallots...
