My Trip

A food tour comparing bun cha — the dish Hanoi invented (charcoal-grilled pork neck and patties with noodles in tangy nuoc mam broth) — across three old shops. Eat small to savor each shop's char, broth sweetness and meat ratio, then finish with egg coffee as a digestif.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Bun Cha Dac KimBún Chả Đắc Kim

    Restaurant · 45 min stay

    An Old Quarter bun cha byword running since 1966. Generous charcoal pork and patties with a crab spring roll (nem cua be) on the side, the standard, eaten on the 2nd floor over the alley.

    11:30 오픈 직후

  2. Walk 5 min

    Bun Cha Hang Quat (Alley Stall)Bún Chả Hàng Quạt

    Restaurant · 35 min stay

    A local alley stall with almost no sign, open only at lunch. Low tourist ratio; real neighborhood bun cha eaten on plastic stools in a narrow, charcoal-smoke-filled alley.

    Bun Cha Huong Lien (Obama Bun Cha)Bún Chả Hương Liên

    Restaurant · 35 min stay

    The spot where Obama and the late Anthony Bourdain sat in 2016, immortalized as the 'Combo Obama' (bun cha + nem + beer). You eat the story more than the taste; that table is preserved under glass.

  4. Taxi 10 min

    Cafe Giang (Egg Coffee Originator)Cà Phê Giảng

    Cafe · 30 min stay

    The birthplace of egg coffee (ca phe trung), made in 1946 by a Metropole bartender who whipped egg yolk instead of milk. The proper finish — a rich custard coffee after three bun cha rounds.
