Food & Drink in Hanoi

Hanoi, just like most of the cities in Vietnam, offers a wide variety of food to those who visit it. In Hanoi, the food is plentiful; it’s everywhere that you look and is an integral part of the livelihoods of many locals. More often than not, the street is the stage where much of what is food related in Hanoi takes place.

Street food can be found on the main streets of Hanoi, and down many of the side streets and alleyways. The city is a wonderland of cheap eats and drinks, offering an endless variety of soups, noodles, buns, rolls and sandwiches paired with plenty of fresh herbs — and fresh beer, too.
