Vietnamese Food Favorites You Will Love

Vietnamese food has achieved cult status around the world due to the global popularity of Pho, the ubiquitous noodle soup found in cities as varied as Budapest and Cape Town.

There are so many foods you must eat in Vietnam. We have our favorites and, by the end of your trip, you will too!
