According to the latest research by Radical Storage, an online luggage storage platform operating in travel technology, Hanoi ranked eighth among the world’s top 10 best street food cities.

The result continues affirming the appeal of the capital's cuisine to international tourists.

Radical Storage analysed 6,897 cuisine businesses in 100 cities welcoming the most travellers.

The ranking is created based on many criteria including the number of businesses rated 4 stars or higher, the diversity of cuisines, the proportion of affordable venues, the availability of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and the density of food establishments per square kilometre.

Paris (France) ranked first with a 7.2/10 score, followed by Athens and Thessaloniki (Greece).

The remaining places in the top 10 were Barcelona (Spain), London (the UK), Rhodes (Greece), Rome (Italy), Hanoi (Vietnam), Budapest (Hungary), and Amsterdam (Netherlands)

According to Radical Storage, the attraction of Hanoi comes from the combination of traditional food rich in regional identity, reasonable cost, and the experience of enjoying food directly on the streets and alleys of the old quarter.

Besides, the Tripadvisor tourism platform has also repeatedly honoured Hanoi in Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best awards, marking Hanoi as one of the world's top cuisine destinations.

TasteAtlas also regularly ranks Vietnamese dishes such as pho, banh mi, and bun cha among the best foods worldwide.

With the variety of dishes, distinctive flavours, and affordable prices, street food has long been one of Hanoi’s unique tourism products, contributing to promoting Hanoi’s image and attracting more international tourists.
