Vĩnh Lợi bakery maintains traditional recipes in Hanoi for 77 years

Phạm Minh Tuấn and his wife operate the Vĩnh Lợi bakery on Hàng Gà Street in Hanoi, Vietnam, preserving traditional food recipes since 1949.

The bakery serves a variety of items including pate, ham, and sausages that the owners prepare by hand every day. The shop closed in 1954 due to economic shifts but reopened at the same location in 1979.

The family continues to produce their ingredients manually to maintain a specific texture and flavor that customers recognize as superior to industrial products. The owners start their work at 6:00 AM to boil meat, cure ham, and simmer beef. They also serve a beef stew with wine sauce that uses no artificial coloring. While the shop has a maximum capacity of 30 people, it remains popular enough that customers often wait about 15 minutes during peak hours.

Prices for meals at the establishment range from 35,000 to 200,000 Vietnamese dong.
