Fancy bun thang at Spices Garden.

From Metropole Legend Hanoi Hotel

Set inside the swish Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi hotel, Spices Garden has been serving up upscale street food for more than 20 years.

In the early days, menus were co-created by French chef and restaurateur Didier Corlou.

Today, the food is overseen by Hanoian chef Nguyen Thanh Van, who was the first Vietnamese woman to become a member of l'Académie Culinaire de France back in 2007.

Like any fine-dining restaurant worth its salt, Spices Garden offers a tasting menu to enable diners to sample the signatures.

"Our degustation menu is intended to give guests a taste of all three regions of Vietnam," explains Nguyen.

"Abalone soup, from the south; a tasting platter of Hanoian appetizers; and Nha Trang lobster to represent the central region."
