Taste Atlas – the platform acclaimed as the “World Food Map” – has officially announced its Top 100 Best Noodle Dishes in the World 2026, once again honoring two iconic representatives of Central Vietnam cuisine: Mi Quang and Cao Lau.
This recognition is not only a source of pride for Da Nang and Hoi An, but also a testament to Vietnamese cuisine’s growing presence on the global culinary map.
Mi Quang & Cao Lau: Culinary Icons Of Central Vietnam
Taste Atlas highlights Mi Quang for its wide, golden-yellow noodles, rich and concentrated broth, roasted peanuts, fresh herbs, and crispy rice crackers. Simple in appearance, yet deeply expressive, Mi Quang embodies the bold, open-hearted spirit of Central Vietnam and has been an integral part of Da Nang’s culinary life for generations.
Also featured on the list, Cao Lau stands out with its chewy noodles, aromatic char siu pork, fresh greens, and a flavor profile that is truly distinctive. Deeply rooted in Hoi An, Cao Lau reflects a refined blend of cultural influences and traditional simplicity.
The presence of both dishes in the Top 100 further affirms the strong and growing position of Vietnamese, especially Central Vietnamese, cuisine in the international culinary community.
