Embark on a food tour of Hanoi and explore the city's culinary scene. Savor traditional Vietnamese dishes and drinks, including egg coffee, banh mi, and bun cha. Visit the famous Train Street and see the train pass by.
Start your tour at the meeting point on Thang Long Water Puppet, 57B Dinh Tien Hoang Street, and head to a traditional restaurant specializing in entrees such as pillow cake, shrimp cake, Pho rolls, and spring rolls. Have a taste of some popular and classic Vietnamese dishes.
Next, enjoy bun cha, which is a quintessential Northern Vietnamese dish that brings together smoky, succulent meat patties and pork belly slices in an umami-rich dipping sauce with tender vermicelli noodles.
Then head over to a local restaurant to try Banh Mi - a signature baguette with variety of fillings and an explosion of flavors.
After several dishes, you will be full and satisfied. Catch a taxi and go straight to the train street. Although train schedules show them to come daily, sometimes they do and sometimes not, so if you're lucky, you may catch one and experience the huge train passing right in front of your face.
While here, enjoy egg coffees at a nice shop trackside and experience the unique ambiance. When you’re done with the drinks, hop in a taxi again to go back to the meeting point where the tour ends.
