FAQs about Planning A Vietnam Food Tour
Generally, Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November) are the best months to explore Vietnamese food. The weather is pleasant and less rain. Travelers can walk around the bustling streets and eat Vietnamese cuisine without heavy heat.
Every area has fresh products during different months. In north Vietnam, the cold season(December-February) is ideal for hot noodle soups like pho. Summer(May-August) has many tropical fruits in South Vietnam, such as durian, banana, pitaya, etc. There is always something to look forward to during your Vietnam food tours.
However, if you don’t get into trouble with rain and typhoons, you’d better not visit central Vietnam in September and October.
The Vietnam tour is not perfect without trying Pho. Pho is the most famous Vietnamese food, a delicious rice noodle soup with beef or chicken, herbs, and a rich broth. You can eat it at any time of day.
Banh Mi is a kind of Vietnamese baguette filled with meats, pickles, herbs, and bun cha. It’s a very popular and easy-to-find dish in Vietnam.
Besides, the spring rolls, known as Gio cuon, are also a hit. The most important ingredient of rolls is rice paper. Pork, chicken, sprouts, mushrooms, etc. will be put in it. Locals and travelers love them all.
Fresh fruit is available year-round due to the tropical climate in Vietnam. Pitaya, also called Dragon fruit, is the most-eaten fruit in Vietnam. The other popular fruits in Vietnam are Vietnamese jackfruit, rose apple, guava, lychee, mangosteen, mango, pomelo, star fruit, etc.
In summer, fruits such as durian, mangosteen, passionfruit, and rambutan can be easily found. Most Vietnamese like to make fresh fruits as a breakfast meal, or in their shakes. Travelers can taste most fruit varieties in Vietnamese local markets.

When you decide what food to eat, please choose cooked and hot foods, like pho, banh xeo, or grilled meats. Avoid raw and undercooked Vietnamese dishes, which may cause stomachache. Bottled water is recommended and in smaller towns avoid using ice.
Vietnam has three regions: North, Central, and South. Each region has its specialties. The northern Vietnam is known for its subtle and balanced flavors, like pho, spring rolls, and banh chung (steamed rice cake). The food in the north is influenced by traditions.
While in the south, the dishes are sweeter with richer flavors. Everything here tastes better with a little sugar or coconut milk. If you like spicy, sauces and dips, you must go to Central Vietnam. Vietnamese in Central Vietnam create many ways to preserve seafood. Any meal must include fermented fish paste and shrimp.

Yes, Vietnamese food is generally healthy. It is fresh, light, and balanced. Many Vietnamese dishes include many vegetables and herbs. Natural seasonings, like lime, chili, and fish sauce replace heavy oils and creams.
Vietnamese fresh spring roll(Goi cuon) is one of the healthiest Vietnam dishes. It’s mouthwatering and nutritious with low fat. As an iconic Vietnamese noodle soup, pho is a healthy and delicious breakfast due to its fragrant broth, tender slices of beef, and lots of aromatic herbs. However, fried foods or sugary drinks are not so healthy with too much fat.
The answer depends on personal taste. Northern cuisine is more traditional and subtle, focusing on balance and simplicity, as seen in pho and bun thang. Southern food is sweeter, richer, and more influenced by tropical ingredients and other cultures, with dishes like banh xeo and hu tieu.
Both regions have incredible food, so the best way to decide is to try dishes from each and savor the diversity of Vietnam’s cuisine.
