A collective passion for food coupled with a recent culinary renaissance makes Hanoi a fabulous place to eat. While restaurants are sprouting up across the city, the food culture here is rooted firmly in the streets where you'll find Hanoians happily grazing through the day. In addition to the amazing variety and quality of street food and regional Vietnamese dishes Hanoi offers, its charm and mystery will engage and enchant you.
 SAVOUR SPOTLIGHT:
A Great Day in Hanoi
Our Itineraries section includes 24 , 48 and 72 hour itineraries for seeing the sites while enjoying great eating experiences. Here is an example of what to do and where to eat after a morning visit to the somewhat macabre Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - from our "24 Hours in Hanoi - Highlights":
"If the weather is nice, consider walking from Ba Đình Square to the Temple of Literature. Walk down Điện Biên Phủ, say hello to Lenin’s statue in the small park directly across from the Army Museum, then head West on Trần Phú Street. Turn left at Phố Hoàng Diệu, then right on either Cao Bá Quát or Nguyễn Thái Học; head straight down (South) Phố Văn Miếu, which runs along the eastern wall of the Temple of Literature. Near the end of the street, you will see Craft Link, KOTO, and Pho 24 on your left. Turn right along the wall and you will see the main entrance of the Temple of Literature immediately on your right. Approximate walking time: 30 minutes. If it’s hot, take a taxi. Driving time: < 10 minutes
Rest stops: Stop to enjoy a coffee or cool drink at Highlands Coffee under the trees just inside the walls of the Army Museum, on Điện Biên Phủ. Or, wait until you arrive at the Temple of Literature and either duck into KOTO to enjoy a coffee or fruit shake, or snack on a bowl of pho at Pho 24 , both around the corner from the main entrance.

UPDATE ON PRICES
Inflation in Vietnam has been very high over the past year or two. We are updating our street food prices, but be aware that prices change often, and so what you pay may be more than what is listed here. The average price for a bowl of phở on the street is 16-20,000 dong, and 30,000 dong or more in a restaurant. Other street food like bánh cuốn have increased from 8,000 dong a serving last year to 12-16,000 dong currently. Still a bargain, fortunately.
Come have a taste with us...
