The destinations featured in Tripadvisor’s list promise a truly authentic gastronomic journey, showcasing dishes that travelers cannot miss.
From vibrant street food markets to creative Michelin‑starred menus, there are cities around the globe that inspire travelers to embark on culinary adventures.
Hanoi’s cuisine is praised for its sophistication and delicacy, focusing on the natural flavors of ingredients to highlight the value of local produce.
To savor the distinctive flavors of Hanoi’s street food, visitors are encouraged to explore the Old Quarter – home to century‑old eateries that preserve the authentic tastes of this thousand‑year‑old city.
According to Tripadvisor, Hanoi’s signature dish is pho – widely regarded as the most famous and beloved dish among both locals and international visitors.
A bowl of pho features a clear, delicately sweet broth made from simmered bones, paired with tender rice noodles and thinly sliced beef cuts such as brisket or flank, or chicken. It is served with bean sprouts, fresh herbs, lime, chili, and crispy fried dough sticks, creating a perfectly balanced and refined flavor.
The renowned travel platform also recommends egg coffee as a must‑try when visiting Hanoi. This unique drink combines whipped egg yolks with condensed milk or sugar, layered over rich, robust coffee. Its creamy sweetness mingled with mild bitterness offers a taste experience that feels both novel and comfortingly familiar.
