[2025 Hanoi Restaurant] Travel Guide for Cafe Giảng (Updated Oct)

When it comes to Hanoi's most representative drink, you must not miss "egg coffee", and this cup of eggy, sweet but not greasy signature flavor started from Cafe Giảng. In the 1940s, the founder, Mr. Nguyen Van Giang, replaced milk with egg yolks due to milk shortages, and accidentally created this wonderful flavor, which still attracts travelers from all over the world. Egg coffee is simply to beat egg yolks, condensed milk and sugar into dense milk foam, spread on espresso, and drink it in one gulp like a perfect combination of dessert and coffee. You can also scoop it up with a spoon and eat it. The taste is like a mixture of tiramisu + latte! The store is hidden in the alleys of the old street and needs to go through a narrow staircase to reach it. The brick walls and retro furnishings are full of a sense of the times. The windows and stair corners are suitable for taking pictures. There are not many seats and it is often full. It is recommended to avoid the afternoon peak hours. In addition to egg coffee, there are also these recommendations: Egg cocoa: a richer sweet version Egg matcha: a must-order for matcha lovers Egg beer: bold but surprisingly good! 📍Address: 39 P.

Alternatively, use this day for a scenic day trip to Ninh Bình to see the karst landscapes often called "Halong Bay on Land." or go on the cruise on the famous Halong Bay(either day trip or multiple day cruise).End your trip with a final Vietnamese dinner in the Old Quarter before heading to the airport. These five items represent the indispensable core of Hanoi's culinary scene. They include two iconic noodle dishes, Phở Bò (richly spiced beef noodle soup) and Bún Chả (grilled pork and noodles. dipped in a savory-sweet broth). The list also features the unique Hanoi specialty Chả Cá (turmeric fish pan-fried with dill), the globally famous French-influenced sandwich Bánh Mì, and the quintessential Hanoian drink, Cà Phê Trứng (Egg Coffee), a creamy, dessert-like beverage. #hanoi #vietnam #onlyoneguideyou_needs .

Location 📍https://maps.app.goo.gl/AJHtidyuDDxkC7RG7 Open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. This is a famous coffee shop in Hanoi that has been open for a very long time. It has a history of developing a drink recipe during the time when Vietnam was short of milk in the late 1940s by replacing milk with egg yolks, resulting in the famous egg coffee. In addition to coffee, there is also matcha and cocoa that are equally delicious. The shop has 2 floors of seating, but it is quite crowded.

Hanoi, Vietnam, is famous for drinking raw egg coffee🥚☕️. The mixture of eggs and coffee is incompatible, but raw egg coffee is Hanoi's specialty drink😮 Raw Egg Coffee (40,000 VND, about HK$12.3): Since the density of raw eggs is different from coffee, the stirred egg mixture will float on top of the coffee 🥚☕️ We first used a spoon to try the taste of egg yolk on the coffee, no fishy smell, like drinking coffee with cream, very creamy😳 Then, we mix the egg mixture and coffee together. The taste of the egg batter is a bit like egg pudding, and the coffee has a little sweetness mixed with the flavor of the egg batter. However, maybe because our stirring is not balanced enough, when we drink the lower the cup of coffee, the more bitter the coffee tastes😨 For those who don't drink coffee, you can try drinking raw egg chocolate, the price is the same as raw egg coffee, 40,000 VND, about HK$12.3), tastes like a chocolate drink with cream, very creamy😳 I also bought a box of egg yolk pastry made with creamy egg batter (100,000 Vietnamese dong, about HK$30.6). The filling inside the creamy egg yolk pastry is like a cream bun😳, eating two already feel very missing🥲 Cafe Giảng Address: 39 Nguyễn Hữu Huân, Hàng Bạc, Hoan Kiem County, Hanoi, Vietnam, Business Hours: 07:00 - 22:30 (non-Tuesday); 09:00 - 22:00 (Tuesday) ...

#Overseas travel I think it's a cafe that belongs to the gourmet tour. Fortunately, the second floor was empty just before 7pm, so I enjoyed the cool breeze on the terrace. The tables are small tables with low chairs like street tables, but it's not too uncomfortable for 2 people, and the store seems to have been remodeled cleanly, so it's clean. ⏱️Business hours 7:00am~10:30pm 📍Cafe Jiang 39 P.
