Itinerary:
Our local guide meets you at your hotel in the Old Quarter to start our excellent street food tour. Our expert English-speaking guide will give you an insight into the intricacies and tradition of Vietnamese food culture including details on ingredients and historical backgrounds of popular Northern dishes. Walking through the maze of bustling streets that make up Hanoi’s Old Quarter, we tempt our taste buds with the famed Hanoi dishes such as Bun Cha, Pho or Banh My at local eateries.
Our next two snack stops are at outdoor barbeque stalls. We sit down with Hanoi locals and sample various meat, vegetable and bread specialties that are grilled over hot coals for extra flavour. It is then time for dessert as we venture down a small alley to join in the local tradition of feasting on fresh fruit served in a cup and smothered with crushed iced and condensed milk- this speciality is one not to be missed!
The tour guide then takes you to one of Hanoi’s best kept secrets, a hidden street food restaurant to taste one of top ten street foods in Hanoi named Egg Coffee. This hard-to-find café is one of the few left in the narrow streets inside the old quarter of Hanoi. If coffee is not your style, a cold beer awaits. At the end of the trip you are free to continue exploring the area or your guide will assist you with directions or a taxi back to your hotel.
