The timeless rumble of your vintage Vespa carries you to our first "insider" stop: the cinematic St. Joseph’s Cathedral. Here, you’ll get your first taste of authentic Hanoi - the legendary, crispy Bánh Gối (savory pillow dumplings). One of a rare traditional dishes that as vanishing through time. Try before it's gone .
The culinary story continues as we stop for an 'insider's' Bánh Mì tasting. You’ll bite into a perfectly crispy baguette that crackles at first touch, revealing rich fillings like pate, savory pork, and fresh vegetables. It's the perfect fusion of French and Vietnamese flavors, telling a story of the city's history in every bite.
Next, we ride off-script. We take you off the beaten path and deep into the alleys to a true local hidden gem for Hanoi’s most legendary dish: Bún Chả. You’ll experience that perfect symphony of smoky grilled pork, fresh vermicelli noodles, and vibrant herbs - the same iconic dish that Anthony Bourdain and Barack Obama famously shared.
Next, we reveal an 'insider's' twist on Hanoi's signature dish. Phở Cuốn skips the traditional soup for a cool, fresh spring roll-style wrap. It's packed with flavorful beef, fresh herbs, and served with a savory dipping sauce.
Our final stop is an 'insider's' café right next to Hanoi’s famous Train Street. Enjoy a Vietnamese Egg Coffee or fresh local beer as you soak in the sights and sounds of Hanoi’s vibrant street life. You uncovered hidden foodie gems, all while experiencing the city like a true local on a Vespa!
