Lý Thái Tổ, Hoàn Kiếm · Hanoi
39 P. Nguyễn Hữu Huân, Lý Thái Tổ, Hoàn Kiếm, Hanoi, Vietnam
Hanoi Old Quarter cafe founded in 1946 by Nguyen Van Giang, the inventor of cà phê trứng. Down a narrow alley with wood-panelled walls and vintage fans, the family still serves the original egg coffee — whisked yolk and condensed milk over hot Vietnamese coffee.
Haven't been here myself — came recommended from someone I trust.
A Michelin Bib Gourmand Old Quarter institution serving a single, intensely flavored Hanoi-style beef pho to long daily lines.
Busy roadside nook whipping up both dry & soupy chicken pho, plus meatballs & beer.
