Best Restaurants in Hanoi: A Hand-Picked Google Maps List

Some of the best restaurants in Hanoi

• Tầm VịBa DinhA Michelin one-star three years running for northern Vietnamese home cooking — the polished end of the best restaurants in Hanoi without losing the flavours of a family kitchen.
• Gia RestaurantOld QuarterChef Sam Tran's modern Vietnamese tasting menu, Michelin-starred since 2023 — the best fine dining in Hanoi if you want one long, considered meal.
• Hibana by KokiOld QuarterMichelin-starred teppanyaki at Capella Hanoi, cooked at the counter in front of you — the city's most theatrical special-occasion table.
• Phở Gia Truyền Bát ĐànOld QuarterThe most legendary pho in Hanoi: a Bib Gourmand counter where you queue out the door, pay, then carry your own bowl to a stool. Worth every minute.
• Phở Thìn Lò ĐúcHai Ba TrungMr Thìn's stir-fried beef pho, unchanged since 1979 — the beef is seared with garlic before it hits the broth, and it's one of the best bowls of pho in Hanoi.
• Bún Chả Hương LiênHai Ba TrungWhere Obama and Anthony Bourdain shared the 'Combo' in 2016 — grilled pork and noodles that show why bun cha is Hanoi's signature lunch.
• Chả Cá Lã VọngOld QuarterTurmeric fish sizzled with dill at your table, from the 19th-century restaurant so famous the street was renamed after it. A Hanoi institution.
• Cafe GiảngOld QuarterThe birthplace of egg coffee, invented here in 1946 — a warm glass of whipped egg yolk over strong Vietnamese coffee, and still the best in the city.
• Bánh Mì 25Old QuarterHanoi's most famous banh mi, packed with pâté, cold cuts and pickles on a crackly baguette — one of the best cheap eats in the Old Quarter.
• La VerticaleHai Ba TrungChef Didier Corlou's French-Vietnamese fine dining inside a colonial mansion — spice-driven cooking from the man who helped put Hanoi on the culinary map.
• Quán Ăn NgonOld QuarterA French villa ringed with cooking stalls, each doing one Vietnamese street-food dish well — the easiest place to graze the best food in Hanoi in one sitting.
• Highway 4 HanoiOld QuarterNorthern Vietnamese plates and ethnic-minority dishes alongside a huge range of Sơn Tinh rice wines — good food in Hanoi with a drink to match.
