On early winter days, having a bowl of hot beef stew with Vietnamese bread is a good breakfast choice for visitors to Hanoi
Beef stew with bread has been for long favored by Hanoians. It is common to see people queuing to enjoy the dish on Dinh Ngang, Thai Thinh, Ta Hien and Chan Cam streets where the dish is believed to be best made.
The decisive factor of the dish is a delicious beef stew with the specific flavors of fresh beef, red wine, cinnamon, star anise, potatoes, carrots and seasonings.
Renowned as the “finest tea through the ages,” Quang An lotus-scented tea from Tay Ho Ward in Hanoi is considered one of the capital’s most treasured culinary traditions. Combining the naturally rich flavor of premium green tea with the gentle fragrance of West Lake’s famous Bach Diep, or hundred-petal lotus, this delicacy reflects the elegance, refinement, and cultural identity of Hanoi.
