A Rare Culinary Harmony
Each of the three provinces brings its own culinary personality:
Ha Nam offers a taste of the Red River Delta, with rustic yet refined dishes such as Vu Dai braised fish, Phu Ly grilled pork with steamed rice rolls, and the famed Dai Hoang bananas. These dishes showcase the essence of local farming and traditional craftsmanship.

Ninh Binh, nestled among limestone mountains, is known for goat meat, crispy rice, mountain snails, and fermented fish salad. The flavors are bold, rich with countryside spices like galangal, lemongrass, and ginger—simple, yet deeply enticing.

Nam Dinh stands out as a cradle of Vietnamese cuisine with its heritage beef pho, crab noodle soup, grilled pork with vermicelli, and artisanal craft villages producing traditional sweets, sauces, and condiments. Notably, Nam Dinh’s pho has been recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
