Hanoi’s Best Indoor Authentic Viet Cuisine Restaurants
Street food gets all the hype, but eventually, the sights and sounds of Hanoi can take a toll on you. Hanoi has a thriving scene of traditional, sit-down restaurants that are just as vital to the Viet Cuisine culture. If you need a break from the heat and want a menu you can actually take your time reading, this map is for you.

Stepping indoors does not mean you have to settle for watered-down tourist food. We mapped out the best brick-and-mortar spots (including vegan-friendly restaurants) serving generational recipes, where you can still get an authentic taste of the city with reliable air conditioning, clean restrooms, and proper tables.
