Thanh Tri rolled cake, Cha Ca La Vong, and Bat Trang village feast have been recognized as national intangible cultural heritage by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.
Pho Khoi Hoi and Pho Lam, located near each other on a 100m stretch of Hang Vai street, are perpetually busy and both feature on the Michelin Guide's Bib Gourmand list for "good, affordable" food.
Beyond the already famous pho, visitors to Hanoi should try dishes like bun cha, banh cuon, fried rice, bun rieu, and cha ca, according to Michelin experts.
