‘Let’s go to Tạ Hiện and grab some beer’ is a common invitation that you will get when you are staying in Hanoi. Tạ Hiện, a famous street of 266 m in length, is definitely a must-visit place in Hanoi Old Quarter. Not naturally that people call Tạ Hiện the “international intersection” because this is where they can see how the Western culture harmonizes with Eastern one. And sometimes you will even hear people call it the “Western street” or “Foreign street” – “Phố Tây” for each step of your way is probably a foreign guy sitting and enjoying his beer with some snacks.There is an interesting fact that I often hear from a group of people, mostly the elderly, that Ta Hien (Tạ Hiện) is pronounced

The exceptional pho is what draws crowds of locals and tourists to Pho 10. It’s cramped with harsh lighting, but the balanced clear broth (in Hanoi style) and quality beef make it worthwhile. Add 5000d to dip in a Chinese donut. A dependable meal for early mornings or late nights.

A great little local eatery on Hanoi's Ma May St. Packed for lunch and dinner with locals and travellers serving solid northern Vietnamese cuisine. It's been so busy in recent times that you'll sometimes struggle to get a table. Meanwhile, typically bland tourist eateries on the same strip are empty. If you can get a table, New Day's a great stop during your Old Quarter wanderings with seating inside and out.

Highway 4 is an old Hanoi favourite that's lost some of its ramshackle edge in recent years. Still a dependable stop for northern Vietnamese flavours and a spot of exotic Vietnamese liquor.
