Experience the Charm of Three Restaurants in Hanoi

Speaking about Hanoi, it is a city full of timeless charm, where history continues to shape the rhythm of daily life — and the culinary scene is no exception. Each restaurant tells its own story, offering not only delicious food but also a taste of Vietnam’s cultural soul.

PHỞ LỤA

Located just outside Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hanoi on Au Co Street, Phở Lụa invites diners to watch chefs craft their signature Pho Ga (Chicken Noodle Soup) in an open kitchen. The rich, aromatic broth is served with a variety of fresh sides. Guests can choose to dine indoors or al fresco and enjoy an authentic Vietnamese pho experience that’s both comforting and unforgettable.

A BẢN MOUNTAIN DEW

A Michelin-listed restaurant on Tran Phu Street, A Bản Mountain Dew evokes the feeling of being surrounded by lush mountains and forests. The menu is carefully curated by Vietnamese chefs, highlighting ingredients and culinary traditions inspired by four ethnic groups — Thái, Muong, Tày, and Mông.

Each dish embodies the essence of Vietnamese highland cuisine. Advance reservations are recommended to experience specialties featuring rare ingredients such as snails, horse meat, and buffalo. Don’t miss the Tay Tay Bac, a smoked meat dish typical of the Northwest, served with cheese and pickled fruits, or Cha oc nui, a fragrant mountain snail dish prepared in two distinctive styles.

BÚN CHẢ HƯƠNG LIÊN

Situated on lively Le Van Huu Street, Bún Chả Hương Liên is a beloved local eatery — and a must-visit for every traveler. This is where former U.S. President Barack Obama famously dined, inspiring the restaurant’s signature “Obama Set” or Bun Cha Obama.

The set includes grilled pork with rice vermicelli, served alongside pickled vegetables and a fragrant sweet-and-savory broth. Diners can also enjoy unlimited refills of fresh herbs and greens — a simple yet deeply satisfying meal that embodies the spirit of Hanoi.
