Traditional Sweet Dishes
Che
Che in Hue is a jewel-like dessert soup that layers colorful beans, jellies, and coconut cream, and its variety reflects the imperial city's love of refined, delicate sweets.
Xoi
Xoi in Hue includes festive versions like xoi ngu sac, or five-color sticky rice, which was used in royal ceremonies and still dazzles with symbolic colors and textures.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Bun bo Hue
Bun bo Hue is a bold, lemongrass-scented beef noodle soup known for its spicy, savory broth and the surprising mix of beef and pork, a hearty reflection of Hue's robust culinary identity.
Banh beo
Banh beo are wafer-thin steamed rice cakes served in tiny dishes topped with dried shrimp, scallions, and crunchy pork cracklings, and their delicate presentation echoes Hue's royal tableware traditions.
Banh nam
Banh nam are silky, oblong rice dumplings wrapped in banana leaves, their chewy, translucent skin hiding a savory shrimp and pork filling, a hands-on snack beloved in Hue.
Traditional Beverages
Iced tea
Iced tea in Hue is often made from jasmine or lotus-scented leaves, cooling and fragrant on hot afternoons, and commonly offered free at markets and eateries to welcome guests.
Iced coffee
Hue's iced coffee is served strong and sweet from a tiny drip filter called a phin, the concentrated brew mixed with condensed milk creates a boldly bitter and sugary contrast that hooks visitors.
Rice wine
Rice wine in Hue, often homemade from glutinous rice, is potent and ritualized, poured into tiny cups for communal toasts at festivals and family gatherings, and sometimes infused with local herbs.

Picturesque citadel but felt a bit overrun and undermaintained in spots, locals were friendly though, not a romanticized ruin.
Most royal tombs close by 4:30pm, start at Minh Mang then cycle east, buy the combo ticket at the first site to save money and skip lines.
Hot and humid in July, monsoon rains in afternoon but clears fast, pack light quick-dry clothes and expect occasional delays.
Crowds at the Citadel were bigger than expected, guides push tours, but the history here is worth it.
Quiet nights along the Perfume River, cheap cyclo rides, perfect for a relaxed 48 hours if you like history and slow meals.
