A Taste of Hanoi
Hanoi: the Capital of Vietnam. A dynamic city full of hidden gems. Underneath the hectic and chaotic city surface is the best Vietnamese street food. So revered and favored by the locals, this street food is not to be missed.
Whether you arrived 5 minutes ago or 15 years ago, our food tour will showcase the luscious, local flavors that Hanoi brings to your table: Cà Phê Trứng (Hanoi Egg Coffee – a local specialty), Bún chả, Bún Bò Nam Bộ or Nem Vuông (Crab Spring Rolls). Within the food stalls of Hanoi, you can discover these unique delicacies that lie just beyond your hotel's doorstep. And with our food tour, you will learn to recognize (and possibly pronounce) these local dishes.
We remember the amazing new feeling of not knowing where to go or what to eat or even where to find the best local shops. We welcome all travelers to join us while we explore the city together. Leave it to us to show you the best of Hanoian and Vietnamese foods in the capital city. During our food tour, we walk through the local markets, see the ingredients that are locally sourced, and taste the street food made nearby. By tasting the street foods, we gain insight into the cultural roots of Hanoi: the farmlands, rice paddy fields, and waterways. By walking around the old quarter while sharing stories of Hanoi's past, we gain insight into the historical roots. Plus, we experience first-hand the freshness of locally grown and produced street food. Is this a win-win situation? We think so!
We feature food and beverages that are locally sourced, prepared, and sold. Our tours offer visitors an opportunity to sample the food that locals eat, too! By purchasing street foods, the benefits go directly back to the vendors and their families-as we buy directly from them. We are supporters of the Slow Food movement, where local culinary traditions and foods are celebrated. Hanoi street food reflects the agricultural tradition and cultural practices of more than a thousand years in Vietnam. These Hanoian dishes are made from fresh ingredients that come from the local fields, rivers and farms.
