Vietnam - Hanoi 2024

Hi all

The threads on the board are rather old, so I thought i’d check in again.

Meeting a friend there for a weeks time. No plans besides going in the footsteps of Bourdain and educating myself in the cuisine. Any recommendations for what to do in Hanoi otherwise, or perhaps some good bars with a nice view, etc?

Thanks in advance

I was there a few weeks ago. Phở Khôi Hói was amazing!

Good bars with a nice view? Obvious answer is the Train Street. Make sure to check the schedule though.

Will check it out!
Train street I’m not so sure about — I get a panic attack just watching IG Reels of it…

Train Street is cool, and surprisingly organized, I’d say it’s a must.

The Pho restaurant I mentioned has a Bib Gourmand, and it’s a warm-beer-and-plastic-chairs-on-the-street kinda place. Delicious, and stupid cheap.

Everything I want right now!
