A food course gathering dishes found only in Hanoi into one route. Turmeric-and-dill grilled cha ca, the ornate chicken-and-egg bun thang, thin banh cuon, and lake shrimp fritters — a compressed taste of one city's old palate.

    Restaurant · 50 min stay

    A Hanoi specialty of turmeric-marinated white fish grilled at a tabletop brazier with loads of dill and scallion, eaten with rice noodles, peanuts and mam tom. The street 'Cha Ca' is named after this dish.

    Bun Thang (Hanoi Style)Bún Thang

    Restaurant · 35 min stay

    A Hanoi banquet noodle of chicken, egg crepe, cha lua and dried shrimp finely shredded like threads, neatly arranged on clear chicken broth. Labor-intensive, so it's only right at an old shop.

    Tô Hiến Thành 66 · Restaurant · 30 min stay

    A morning specialty of rice batter steamed thin over cloth, rolled with minced pork and wood-ear mushroom. Steamed to order at an old shop, the texture is silk-soft.
