First of all, let me introduce you the Quán Ăn Ngon Restaurant located at 18 Phan Boi Chau Street. It has lots of varieties including specialties from all over the nation like Bún chả (Grilled Pork Served with Herbs & Noodle) or Chao Tom (Pounded Shrimp Hash Fried on Sugar Cane). Anyway, the following are the foods that we ordered. The price here is relatively much higher than many local food stalls probably because it's tourist friendly restaurant with English written menu.
We walked a lot during our visit to Hanoi. Hence, we stopped by to a lot of stalls to buy drinks, desserts, etc. to cure our thirst. Of all the drinks/desserts that I've tried, I would like to recommend the iced mixed fruits. You can easily find this almost everywhere near Hoan Kiem Lake. Apart from fruits, there is condensed milk. All you have to do is to mix the shaved ice, fruits and condensed milk together. Definitely a must try !
We also visited the Quán Bún Chả Hàng Mành restaurant located at 1 Hang Manh Street. Bun Cha is the signature dish in this restaurant and also Hanoi itself. Bun Cha is a combination of grilled pork, slices of green papaya, rice noodles, and fresh herbs. Other than Bun Cha, they serve also the Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls. By the way, do empty your stomach before heading to this restaurant as they serve you with very large portion !
Here's another local street food I would like to recommend but unfortunately I do not know the name of these dishes. However, it is located near to the intersection between Phu Doan Street and Yen Thai Street.
Last but not least a must try, the Cha Ca La Vong Restaurant located at 14 Pho Cha Ca Street. Please take note that there are a lot similar restaurants with the same name but they are not related so do check the address correctly. There is no food menu in this restaurant as they serve only one dish, the Chả Cá (Grilled Fish). It's served with turmeric, dill, peanut, ginger, spring onion, rice vermicelli and fair load of oil. By the way, the spring onion and rice vermicelli are refillable. I would rate this 9/10 even though it is quite pricey at fixed price of VND 170,000 per person (excluding drinks).
So here ends my sharing of Hanoi's food experience. They are definitely worth a try if you are visiting Hanoi !
