Old Quarter

Tonight your guide will take you on a culinary adventure, on beautiful avenues and smaller alleys to discover some of the best street food in town.

As it also serves as a pretty complete sightseeing of Hanoi, seize the opportunity to spot shops, sites and foodshop for the rest of your stay in the capital.

Old Quarter

Start your tour at Bia Hoi corner to try the local brew, do as the locals do and pull up a stool and enjoy a drink while watching the world go by. Continue through the old quarter’s narrow streets as your guide points out a range of tasty noodles, breads and snacks. At night the sidewalks are packed with locals perched on stools, amongst sizzling woks and bubbling pots. These small pop up restaurants are a nightly feature that all but disappear during the day. Highlights may include Banh Cuon, rice rolls that include beef and fresh herbs, or Banh My, Vietnam’s famous baguette sandwich. But the best has to be the flame grilled Vietnamese barbecue of beef, chicken, tofu and vegetables on skewers.
