You will be surprised at the market for sure!

Bach Ma Temple

When you travel to Hanoi, you will see many local people burn fake money on the street; every shop always has a small altar in front of the door; temples and pagodas are everywhere. All of those things make you so confused about what they are doing or what the meaning of it is. You might ask "is Vietnam a Buddhist country?" You will find out all the answers at this place! It should be really interesting!

Bánh Cuốn Gia Truyền Thanh Vân

"The rice paper roll I had here was the best I've had. Super thin, silky smooth rice paper that wraps around the filling perfectly. I ordered the mushroom and pork filling and it was great. It is served with fried onions and a fish sauce, which adds more flavour and texture to this simple yet brilliant dish."- TripAdvisor review.

Bia Hoi

Best Bia Hoi in Hanoi With beer street full of tiger and Heineken, this is the place to go for that bia hoi experience. Empty glasses refilled immediately for only 11,000 VND and the most delicious pork ribs. Pull up on one of the little blue plastic stools, you won't regret it!

Bún Bò Nam Bộ Bách Phương

Bun bo Nam Bo is marinating the beef, then comes making 'nuoc cham' and the pickled vegetables (shredded carrot and papaya). The pickled veggies is crispy, a little sour and a little sweet, which even makes me eat two bowls of the noodle at once. Remember to pickle the carrot (and papaya first, before marinating the beef) since it takes at least 1 hour to get a good flavour on the carrot.

Cafe Phố Cổ

Lake overlook. This beautiful cafe might be a little hard to find, but once there it’s worth it. Order downstairs and make your way up the stairs. The first level is a gorgeous section overlooking the courtyard that feels as if you’re in another world. Head up more stairs, but skip level 3 and go up the spiral staircase to level 4 for beautiful views of Lake Hoan Kiem. Try the iced yogurt coffee or one of the teas, relax and enjoy the view.

Food Heaven & Excellent Company!

Rose Nhung took us on the most spectacular street food tour today! We‘re a couple from Germany and friends of ours had recommended this company to us. We did an early morning walking tour in the Old Quarter, starting at Chợ Đồng Xuân Market and then went on an incredibly well curated tour that not only showed us traditional Hanoi dishes, but also included dishes typical to Haiphong, Saigon or the Central regions! At the beginning of the tour Rose asked us what dishes we had already tried (in ...read more

Afternoon food walking tour with Jay was amazing

Jay was an amazing tour guide - highly recommend doing a tour with Jay! She took us to so many off the beaten track places, and made sure it was appropriate for our dietary requirements. Could not fault this tour. The food was amazing, and we really enjoyed learning about Vietnam from, Jay!

Hanoi back streets food tour!

I loved this tour so much! Jay was an excellent, knowledgeable, friendly guide who showed us some local, hidden spots with delicious food. She was super accomodating to me being vegetarian and added so much value in the way of teaching us about life in Vietnam, language and culture. Such a good tour, so glad I did it.

Knife making tour

My gf and I did the knife making class with Dzung and ms Tuyen the black smith. We had an incredible time and the hospitality was phenomenal. To be able to be immersed in one of the oldest and artisan black smiths was an incredible experience. She made it so easy to make the knife and we felt like a local! We shared stories and laughs with her , Dzung and the family. Not to forget we left with a very practical souvenir (a knife) thanks !
