While the dish originated in Huế and Hội An, food lovers can now enjoy authentic versions in cities around the world. In this guide, Hanoi 1988 rounds up some of the best places to eat banh beo in Hanoi, along with several highly recommended Vietnamese restaurants in Paris where you can enjoy this beloved traditional specialty.


Top Places to Eat Banh Beo in Hanoi


Ngon Garden

Ngon Garden serves bánh bèo that captures the authentic flavors of Hội An. The delicate rice cakes are made from finely milled white rice flour, creating a soft, smooth texture with a rich aroma. They are topped with fragrant scallion oil and a savory mixture of shrimp and pork, then served with crispy fried rice crackers and dried shrimp for added crunch and flavor. The accompanying sweet fish sauce is simple yet perfectly balanced, complementing the dish without overpowering its natural taste. With reasonable prices and authentic recipes, Ngon Garden is an excellent destination in Hanoi for anyone looking to experience traditional Vietnamese bánh bèo.
