The world's largest travel guide platform, TripAdvisor, has voted Hanoi as one of the 15 cities with the most attractive cuisine in the world.

According to TripAdvisor, one of the best ways to truly experience a city is through its cuisine. Visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy traditional dishes passed down through generations or experience modern culinary "concepts" created by young chefs.

The platform shares that unlike the bold and spicy flavors often found in southern Vietnamese dishes, the capital's cuisine is more delicate and gentle, enhancing the natural flavors of local ingredients by using light broths, fresh herbs, and simple spices.

The clearest proof of the above statement is bun cha, a typical dish of Hanoi.

"The Old Quarter is a great place to visit to sample street food or other local specialties like banh cuon and cha ca la vong," says Tripadvisor.

Hanoi, with its rich culinary scene, offers visitors unique culinary experiences from affordable eateries to Michelin-starred high-end restaurants.
