Discover the Charming Ghẹ Noodle Soup Eatery in a Historic French Villa in Hanoi

A few years ago, finding a place to enjoy bánh canh in Hanoi was challenging. However, over time, many have brought this dish, typical of the Central and Southern regions, to Hanoi. The broth, with its rich and sweet flavor, has been adjusted to local tastes by several restaurant owners.

The two most well-known addresses are the eateries on Quang Trung Street and Xã Đàn Street. Recently, there has been talk about a bowl of bánh canh served in a French villa on Ngô Tất Tố Street.

The owner, a middle-aged woman, works with a few assistants of the same age. The soul of the eatery has experience cooking in famous bánh canh kitchens in Saigon and Vũng Tàu. While the bánh canh is familiar, the ingredients and serving methods have earned high praise from some tourists.

Different from the noodles in other eateries in Hanoi, which are usually made from tapioca flour, this restaurant's bánh canh is made from rice flour using a special recipe. The noodles are thick, white in color, refreshing in taste, without the sour taste of vermicelli, and chewier than vermicelli. The broth is slightly viscous, deeply sweet from simmering with bones and vegetables, along with seafood sauce.

All the main ingredients are transported from Saigon. A bowl contains a suitable amount of bánh canh with crab, ghẹ meat, mussels, ghẹ sausage, fish sausage, fragrant broth, and a perfect taste. You'll want to sip until the broth runs out, feeling full but not bored, not full. For those who eat a lot, the bowl is a bit small, remember to ask for more bánh canh.

The price of a bowl of bánh canh is higher than average (60,000 dong) but is still chosen by many. Besides the delicious quality of the dish, guests can eat and chat in a peaceful space, surrounded by green trees, gentle music at a historic French villa.
