(CNN) — There's no arguing: Hanoi is a street food mecca.
But humble bowls of pho and turmeric-tossed cha ca fish aren't the only culinary draws in the capital of Vietnam.
An influx of international restaurants, combined with a young population hungry for a cosmopolitan lifestyle, has opened the door for a new generation of Vietnamese cuisine.
Restaurants and bars are catapulting traditional recipes into the 21st century -- and at least one famous dish has been reimagined in cocktail form.
As traditional Vietnamese food goes head-to-head with fashionable foreign fare, it's never been a more exciting time to travel to this culinary wonderland.
From pho cocktails to xoi ga (sticky rice with chicken), CNN Travel trawls the capital to find the best of Hanoi's contemporary Vietnamese fare.
