Vietnam
Hanoi
Broth simmered slow, streets that move fast.
A note from the editor
If you’ve enjoyed Vietnamese food outside Vietnam, a trip to Hanoi is a treat. From hole-in-the-walls, pulling up a blue plastic chair for an unpretentious bowl of bun cha, to contemporary “east meets west” meals in the former capital of French Indochina, there’s no shortage of authentic experiences. Minimize detours eating your way around the city where motorcycle traffic runs in eight directions.
