According to the the magazine, Hanoi’s culinary experiences run the gamut, from fantastic street side pho, seafood spring rolls and cheese-stuffed baguettes, to more obscure offerings like dog meat, insects, cobra blood wine and boiled duck fetus eggs. There’s no denying that the noodle soup varieties offered in the North Vietnamese metropolis are among the best in the world.
“Hanoi Old Quarter is a good place to start for those looking for affordable local fare, including North Vietnam’s most famous dish: pho, noodles in a beef bone broth,” That’s Magazine wrote.
Fans of the late gonzo chef Anthony Bourdain and/or former US President Barack Obama should be sure to check out Bun Cha Huong Lien, a restaurant where the duo enjoyed dinner together back in May 2016.
