**Hanoi Street Food Walking Tour & Train Street Coffee Experience – 3.5 Hours**
Discover the authentic flavors of Hanoi on this 3.5-hour walking food tour that takes you through the hidden alleys of the Old Quarter and ends with a unique coffee moment at the famous Train Street. Led by a local English-speaking guide, you’ll taste five signature dishes that define the culinary soul of Hanoi: **Bun Cha, Banh Mi, Banh Cuon, Bun Thang**, and **Egg Coffee**.
Your adventure begins in the lively Old Quarter, where your local guide welcomes you and introduces you to Hanoi’s rich street food culture. Start your culinary journey with **Bun Cha**, Hanoi’s iconic dish of grilled pork served with rice noodles, fresh herbs, and a sweet-sour dipping sauce. Enjoy the smoky aroma from the charcoal grill and learn why this dish has become a symbol of northern Vietnamese cuisine.
Continue your walk through narrow alleys to a small bakery that serves one of the best **Banh Mi** in town. Crispy on the outside and soft inside, the baguette is filled with a delicious mix of meats, pâté, pickled vegetables, and herbs — the perfect combination of Vietnamese and French influences.
Next, you’ll head to a cozy local restaurant that serves both **Banh Cuon** and **Bun Thang** — two of Hanoi’s most elegant and traditional dishes.
Watch as the chef skillfully makes **Banh Cuon**, thin steamed rice rolls filled with minced pork and mushrooms, served with aromatic fish sauce. Then, enjoy a comforting bowl of **Bun Thang**, a refined noodle soup made from chicken, egg, and pork with a flavorful clear broth. Together, these dishes represent the balance and sophistication of Hanoi cuisine.
To end the evening on a high note, your guide will take you to the iconic **Train Street**, where locals live and work just inches from the railway. Sit at a charming café right by the tracks and savor a cup of **Egg Coffee**, a Hanoi invention made with whipped egg yolk, coffee, and condensed milk. As you enjoy your drink, feel the excitement as a train passes by just meters away — a truly unforgettable moment that captures the heart and spirit of Hanoi.
After the coffee experience, your guide will walk you back to the Old Quarter and share local recommendations for more great food and hidden gems around the city.
This walking food tour is the perfect way to taste, see, and feel the real Hanoi — its flavors, its people, and its stories.
