Eating Out In Vietnam

Restaurant Suggestions In Hanoi, Vietnam

© James W. Coates

As tourism grows in Vietnam, so does the endless culinary options in the nation's capital. This starter list offers a few suggestions of restaurants to try.

Eating in Vietnam takes on many flavours. Since the country opened itself up to the external world in 1990, the country has seen a flood of tourists coming to visit the charms of this intriguing country. In return, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and many other hot spots have seen an uprising of different culinary tastes inspired by these external influences.

While it would be a mistake to visit Vietnam and dine solely on food available anywhere else in the world, sometimes while travelling through a different country you need a little taste of home away from home. In the country’s major cities you can now feast on Italian, Chinese, German and American food without going too far off the beaten track. It only depends on what you want to eat and where you want to eat it

In Hanoi, a quick stroll around the beautiful Hoan Kiem Lake offers visitors ample opportunities to try the country’s legendary pho (Vietnamese noodle soup served with either beef or chicken) bun cha (pork patty soup) or any other traditional dish from spring rolls to sticky rice. More adventurous tourists may even want to try an evening at a thit cho restaurant to try dog meat.

Here are a couple of favourites with travellers to the Vietnamese capital, sure to offer a great meal and a chance to meet locals as well as other tourists.
