Hanoi makes the list of cities with the most attractive cuisine in the world.
TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel guide platform, has voted Hanoi as one of the 15 cities with the most attractive culinary scenes in the world.
According to TripAdvisor, one of the best ways to truly experience a city is through its cuisine. Visitors have the opportunity to enjoy traditional dishes passed down through generations or experience modern culinary concepts created by young chefs.
This platform shares that, unlike the bold and spicy flavors often found in Southern Vietnamese cuisine, the capital's culinary scene is more refined and subtle, enhancing the natural flavors of local ingredients through the use of light broths, fresh herbs, and simple seasonings.
The clearest evidence for this claim is bun cha, a signature dish of Hanoi.
Tripadvisor states: "The Old Quarter is a must-visit for tourists to sample street food and other local specialties such as rice rolls and fish cakes wrapped in betel leaves."
Hanoi, with its rich culinary scene, offers visitors unique gastronomic experiences, from casual eateries to Michelin-starred high-end restaurants.
Besides Hanoi, the list of 15 must-visit culinary cities in the world also includes Hawaii and New Orleans (USA), Jamaica in the Caribbean, Mexico City, Brussels in Belgium, Naples in Italy, Athens in Greece, Barcelona in Spain, Paris in France, Bangkok in Thailand, Kyoto in Japan, New Delhi in India, Istanbul in Turkey, and Marrakech in Morocco.
