Where some countries may be known for innovative new dishes and modern culinary skills, Vietnam is best known for the cradle of water rice civilization for about 4000 years, its age-old recipes, from warming noodle soup to Franco-Vietnamese bánh mì baguettes. Through many years of ups and downs in history, Vietnamese cuisine still retains its unique flavor that cannot be found anywhere else. Dishes imbued with love for the homeland, from the countryside to the city, make those who live far away from home remember the taste of home dishes.
Hanoi has a rich history as the capital city for more than a millennium. Thanks to its accessible river transportation, the city’s citadels have been home to affluent aristocrats and highly educated individuals. As a result, Hanoi cuisine is renowned for its exquisite taste and uniqueness. Throughout the city, there are many family-owned restaurants that have been passed down for generations, each with their own secret recipes for preparing authentic Hanoi cuisine that can’t be found anywhere else. However, most of these restaurants are tucked away in small alleys or on the sidewalk without any advertising, making it challenging for foreign tourists to discover them independently.
The best way to not only taste authentic Hanoi food but also to immerse yourself in the local lifestyle and gain a deeper understanding of this ancient city is by joining a food tour led by a knowledgeable local guide.
