Our lunchtime food tour invites guests on a culinary experience around Hanoi. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of professional food guides. Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, & the limitations of street food vendors means we unfortunately cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed: ✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian diets sorry, as there would be 4-5 less tastings. ✖️ Unsuitable for severe allergies, halal and celiac diets, due to the risk of traces & cross-contamination. If you are feeling adventurous for a foodie journey, read on!
We'll meet at the historic Old Quarter, navigating through street food vendors, decades-old eateries and family-owned recipes that have been passed down generations. We'll crunch on crispy handmade pillow cakes, translucent tapioca dumplings, and caramelized pork belly. We can't miss a Hanoian classic -Chả Cá Lã Vọng, a turmeric-spiked fish dish with dill at a century-old original joint, before a steamy hot bowl of pho at a Michelin-rated eatery. Next up, bánh cuon rice rolls are rolled expertly over the griddle, and later grilled bun cha pork patties are doused over stringy vermicelli noodles and fresh herbs, whilst young green rice flakes are bundled over banana leaves, washed down with dracontomelon juice. There's many more surprises amongst 15+ tastings over the course of 7-8 stops of our moveable feast.
Come hungry, cos we're taking you on a food adventure like no other, to the backstreets to discover the real street food of Hanoi and the food heroes deep inside the culinary underbelly of the North. We'll toast the iconic egg coffee with your seasoned foodie pro guide, an expert in delicious dishes, arming you with the local knowledge to continue eating street food across Vietnam. Pack loose trousers, we'll show you where the locals eat!
