For this reason, Vietnam is the perfect destination for all food lovers to discover another heaven of gastronomy. With Asiatica Travel, you will be shown the best way to enjoy every best-known tourist place in Vietnam.
1. Hanoi - street food paradise in Vietnam
Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is the center for cultural exchange, where there is the best and most refined cuisine in Vietnam. It is not difficult to find a good place to eat in Hanoi. This gastronomic paradise is found on every corner of the streets. For breakfast, “Pho bo”, a Vietnamese noodle with beef soup, is the very first dish that every traveler must try in Vietnam. For lunch, no one could resist “banh mi thit nuong”, sandwich with grilled meat and aromatic vegetables. In the late afternoon, relax with a cup of “ca phe trung”- the egg coffee or “bia hoi”, the fresh beer. Finally, end up your day with a bowl of “bun cha”, noodle with grilled meat in a small diner on Le Van Huu Street. The American president has even tried this dish when he first came to Vietnam.
Asiatica Travel has launched a street food tour that is dedicated to western travelers. You will try famous dishes in the safest diners for an excellent Vietnamese gastronomy experience.

2. Hue - the royal gastronomy
Hue was the ancient capital of Vietnam from the 18th to the 20th century. Today, local people here still reserve many ancient values. Even if it is a daily dish, the Hue people still enjoy it in a refined and noble way. In Hue, you rarely find diners full of customers like those in Hanoi. But the diners and restaurants are usually clean, the dishes are delicious and the price is very reasonable. “Bun bo”, a kind of noodle with beef meatball, sweet soup, is the most typical dish of Hue as well as Vietnamese cuisine. They are always spicy and full of spices. Hue is a gentle and peaceful place where gourmets must eat and enjoy the food slowly.
Asiatica Travel presents the royal dinner dedicated to foreign travelers where you could try the dishes of the Kings and dress like the royal family.
3. Hoi An - the quintessential Asian cuisine
Hoi An used to be an important port in South East Asia where Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese culture had an opportunity to exchange. The famous Hoi An dishes like Cao Lau noodles, fried rice with chicken are made from local ingredients and in a Chinese way. Moreover, no matter if you eat in a luxurious restaurant or a street diner, you still could admire the wonderful atmosphere of the most romantic city in Vietnam.
In Hoi An there are many cooking classes for foreigners. It is our honor to choose for you the most adaptable courses for western tastes.
4. Saigon - high-class life of Vietnam food
Saigon, the Pearl of the Far East, is considered as the most westernized & dynamic city in Vietnam. Saigon cuisine is very abundant, however, it originates from other places. Every dish entering Saigon usually has to change itself to adapt to the taste of the local people. It remains the same name, but Saigon’s “Bun bo Hue” is very different from the original one, sweeter and does not have many spices. “Pho Bo” of Saigon is also lighter than that of Hanoi. In “Cho Lon”, the China Town you could also try Chinese dishes such as char siu, wonton.
Asiatica Travel recommends you have a romantic dinner on the Saigon River or a coffee on Bitexco Tower to admire the panoramic view and the life of Saigon city.
5. Mekong Delta and the fertility in nature
The Mekong Delta is the region where Mother Nature gives people a great favor. The river brings life to any location it passes through. It feeds many fish and various types of high-quality vegetables and fruits. Mekong Delta cuisine is not as refined as in Hue and Hanoi. But the fresh ingredients made the food here tasty and special. Coming to Mekong Delta, you should try the unique dishes such as “Bun Mam” noodle with fish sauce, “Lau ca” fish hot pot.
At homestay Duyen Que, Ben Tre, you will have an unforgettable experience by participating in a warm dinner and a course of making “banh xeo”, the Vietnamese pancake.
