Start with Hanoi
Give phở a morning stop and bún chả a lunch slot. The latter brings grilled pork, rice noodles, herbs and dipping sauce together for a classic capital-city meal.
Pause for egg coffee
Cà phê trứng balances strong coffee with a sweet egg foam. Make it a slow break between food stops rather than another item to hurry through.
Switch cities and textures
In Ho Chi Minh City, try bánh mì, cơm tấm and hủ tiếu. Bread, broken rice and noodle soup offer three different ways to experience the city's everyday cooking.
Explore a food street
Ho Thi Ky pairs a flower-market setting with a busy food street. Build a route around a few dishes, and check broth, fillings and sauces directly if you have dietary requirements.
