I always guarantee one feeling after enjoying the foods in Ha Noi that you’ll love Hue special foods more. The restaurant in Hanoi is not good or not cheap it’s not only delicious but also still expensive. What about Hue food ? It’s a huge question for travelers. Hue food tastes very delicious, and you’ll be surprised at cheap prices.
Although belonging to the North Central separated from South of Viet Nam by Bach Ma Mountain, Hue closes to the South than the North. However, a cuisine of Hue isn’t complex or rustic like South Central of Viet Nam. The biggest feature of Hue food is moderation, harmony, except … the spicy. Hue dishes don’t require a sophisticated form but high demands at all stages. Therefore, Hue’s cuisine coexist both royal cuisine and affordable foods, and sometimes these affordable foods can get to the kingdom palace and the royal dishes such as rice, mussels, rice dishes with ingredients mussels, clams water, peanuts and cold rice.
Visiting Hue city must try mussel rice. If you can’t stand spicy food, you remind to sellers. What if you forget, you should call an extra bucket of ice to cool the mouth. The most delicious mussel rice especially in Con Hen (pretty distant), or Chi Nho shop selling in Pham Hong Thai street – but they only sell the morning and end at noon not. The mussel rice is very cheap a bowl of about 10.000 VND only.

Barbecue rice noodle and barbecue cake are also a special cuisine you can’t miss. Baked meats are marinated in enough time. That’s reason why meats don’t lose aroma. It’s tender and not dry.

Hue city is the central Buddhism of Viet Nam so that vegetarian foods also play an important role in a life of Hue people. If you believe in Buda, you should choose vegetarian foods to convert yourself. There are a lot of places to find vegetarian foods but the most well-know restaurant is Lien Hoa (Le Quy Don street). Like many Hue vegetarian restaurants, it’s very cheap. My group has 10 people. After enjoying many dishes, and everybody was full stomach. However, we didn’t expect that the bill for the meal is so…….cheap. From the first trip in Hue city, I can say one thing “What a wonderful trip ever”.
