1. Pho Ly Quoc Su:
This choice is obvious. Even if you've experienced phở in other parts of Vietnam, it's worthwhile to sample the version in Hanoi. If the assortment of condiments accompanying your phở appears perplexing initially, begin by adding a touch of robust chili sauce. Afterward, enhance beef phở with a spoonful of garlic vinegar or chicken phở with a squeeze of lime.
Address: 10 Ly Quoc Su, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
Only 9 minutes walk from Hidden Nest (650m)

2. Bun cha
When floor space is limited, look upwards. Use wall-mounted shelves, hooks, and tall furniture pieces to create additional storage and display areas. This not only saves floor space but also draws the eye upwards, creating a sense of height.
Almost exclusively a lunch dish, bún chả combines chargrilled pork belly and patties with diluted vinegar fish sauce in a harmonious concoction. Put your rice noodles into the fish sauce bowl, add spices and herbs, then try to get a little bit of everything in one bite. For a hearty upgrade, go ahead and order some nem (fried spring rolls) with your bún chả.
Address: 40 Cua Dong, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi
Only 13 minutes walk from Hidden Nest (980m)

3. Nom bo kho Vi Dung
For a pick-me-up afternoon snack, grab a plastic stool and order a plate of sweet and sour nộm bò khô (beef jerky salad.) The crunchiness of green papaya and carrot is softened with flavoured fish sauce, while strips of beef jerky adds a funky texture to the mix. Ask for a version with beef spleen and tripe if you’re feeling adventurous.
Address: Long Vi Dung, 23 Hoàn Kiếm St., Hoàn Kiếm District
Only 1 minutes walk from Hidden Nest (120m)

4. Bun dau mam tom:
Simple fried tofu and noodles have never tasted so good! A match made in heaven, crispy golden tofu and fresh rice noodles are a much-loved Hanoian lunch. Originally bún đậu is served with mắm tôm (fermented shrimp paste), but you can also choose fish sauce as a lighter alternative. Young rice patties, fried spring rolls, and herbs complete the beautiful ensemble.
Address: 6 Mã Mây St., Hoàn Kiếm District
Only 8 minutes walk from Hidden Nest (600m)

5. Banh mi
This one you surely know. The single most popular Vietnamese food is a sandwich, but not just any sandwich, but an authentic feast you eat with your hands. Walk the Ha Noi Old Quarter, the Hoan Kiem District, or the Hai Ba Trung District and find street vendors specialized in this fast-food item. Although the Banh mi is famous across Vietnam, Hanoi merchants make some of the best. Banh mi’s common fillings are pâté, cucumbers, fresh herbs, pickles and condiments, including mayo and chili. If there’s one Vietnamese food you must eat in Hanoi, it’s the banh mi.
