Restaurant Bobby Chinn 77 Xuan Dieu Street, Tay Ho District, Hanoi Tel: +84 43 719 2460 www.bobbychinn.com

Foodies have taken well to this soulful restaurant owned by Bobby Chinn — it’s always jam-packed. Made famous by his show on the Discovery Travel & Living channel promoting Asian street fare, Bobby’s cooking is inspired by the seasons and is an eclectic burst of French and Vietnamese flavours. Try his two signature dishes — the crisp pan roasted salmon on wasabi mash potatoes and the green tea smoked duck. The creamy mash has the right amount of kick and the smoked duck, served with black sticky rice, baby bok choy and pomegranate duck jus is a brilliant combination of sweet and salty.
